    Hi all, Here are some posing pics as I said I would get. They were taken after my chest tris workout today, the angle is kind of bad because I didn’t have anyone to take them so I took screenshots from a video I took however, they will do.

    Thank you! I do usually around 20-25 minutes of cardio that’s how long it usually takes me to burn around 300 calories according to the treadmill I use, I alternate between uphill walking on its highest incline setting and running at about half of that incline
