GREATEST PIECE OF ADVICE....
If you have an 'off-day' don't fall off the wagon completely. Get back into your routine straight away. One 'off day' probably won't upset your progress, but many 'off days' will!

GREATEST PIECE OF ADVICE....
I have a couple….
Firstly, focus on your own goals because you are there for YOU; never compare yourself to anyone else’s journey.
Secondly, consistency combined with training intensity will ultimately yield the best results.
