Day Six

There is no circuit to follow today, instead try to go out for a jog, a swim or even a walk in the park. Keep moving but you don't need to push yourself to the limit as you have in the previous sessions this week.

After five days of bodyweight training your body needs a chance to recover. So take the opportunity to relax a little bit over the weekend, unwind and catch up on any sleep you may have missed during the week.

The key to getting results in this six week programme is to work HARD during your training sessions, eat good quality foods and look after your body.

We all need a little bit of stress in our lives to push ourselves on to do and achieve more in our working and personal lives. Although, we need to be careful to manage that stress in order to look after our health and in this case achieve the best possible results in a six week period.

A lack of sleep, too much alcohol and poor food choices all contribute to stress.

When we are stressed our body releases cortisol - this is also a fat storing hormone - therefore the more stressed we become the more fat our bodies will store.

So really try to enjoy this bank holiday weekend, relax and reap the benefits.

See you tomorrow.
