Results
I started the programme at a healthy weight which meant I was more concerned with building strength, increasing muscle mass and reducing my fat percentage.
So, did I achieve this?
Throughout the Challenge, my weight stayed mostly the same. However, thanks to the full body scans before and after, I discovered I had lost 2.1g of fat, and gained 1.7kg of muscle. I definitely felt stronger, was lifting heavier weights and generally feeling more toned and less bloated.
Is it worth it?
