‘Want to see results from your workouts? You need a purpose.’ Wise words from trainer Amy Darch, who works at W10 (w10performancegym.com), delivering small-group personal-training sessions and classes. ‘Get a programme designed by someone who knows what they’re talking about, rather than walking into the gym without a plan, or cherry picking clips from social media. Chances are you’ll end up only doing things you like doing and you might not push yourself as hard,’ she says.
‘Your sessions need to cover all the muscle groups and key movements in order to help you look, move and feel better. Make sure you choose a weight that will challenge you – you’re not going to get bulky!’ she says. ‘Strength training will push your body, improve your muscle tone and help create a lean physique. Seeing your progress makes you feel pretty badass too!’Ready to try the workout opposite? Complete the reps, with 60 seconds’ rest after each move. Then have two minutes’ rest at the end of the set. Try to do 3-4 sets.
