I only work out for an hour 3 times a week using a spin bike/ recumbent bike and treadmill. Weights included, sit ups and press ups. I don't have enough room for what I would call a proper weights set up but you do give me so much inspiration and motivation to carry on! I don't have enough confidence to put up what I do 3 times a week lol

Please post, it doesn’t matter how much or how little you do, it’s whatever works for you
I find exercise has more impact on b/s than food & I enjoy it
