When doing any home workouts please exercise in a safe environment, and if you need help or you’re not seeing results, I suggest seeing a health and fitness professional to give you tailored advice on your exercise form and dietary needs. I am not a medical professional and what I share on my media platforms are my views and what has worked for myself. Your health and safety is the utmost importance so find out what works for you.
