10. The Day of Un-Rest

Ever noticed that the gym is busier than Selfridges on Black Friday on a Monday? Do yourself a solid and use Monday as a rest or outdoor cardio day, instead doing your sesh on a Sunday.

Mix L’Glutamine, creatine and your favourite squash for a fat burning exercise drink that’s ideal for both cardio and weight sessions.

Add your workouts into your phone’s calendar on a Sunday.
