It is a well known fact that come January everyman and his dog will be signing up for their local gym keen to chip away at their burgeoning figures, however, for the hardened lifter we were in the gym years ago before the January mob descended.

Bill Sonnemaker, MS, an international award-winning master personal trainer and the CEO of Catalyst Fitness in Atlanta, advises, “The closer and easier it is to get to, the less likely you’ll be to come up with an excuse for not going regularly.
