Also, it’s Friday, which means one thing: new music. This week’s we’ve asked Gary Williams, head trainer at UN1T studio, to add some more songs to our ‘Gym Buddies: Upbeat’ playlist. His high-tempo tracks will not only get you working up a sweat, but actually enjoying your workout.
My weekend workout plans include a lot of yoga, a spin class and a lot of dancing on Saturday night (fuelled by wine). Because life is about balance, right?
