Hi Alan.
At the moment I am aiming to train twice daily but usually only managing once and aiming to trian seven days a week but ussaully end up having the weekend off. But at least my time off is consistant ( evenings and weekends) which I feel yealds better results than inconsistancy.

Even the Perpetual excercises no. 5 (lower back) and no.6 (Bicepts) are pretty important ...

Hi gang. I completed the full 12 lesson course about four years ago but havn't managed to be able to stick with the daily "Perpetual" course athough I keep restarting every few months or so even leaving it for over a year once.

That is untill I ordered the "Ten Steps To A better Body" at the start ...
