HIT-UNI Founder & Director Simon Shawcross explains why devoting 20-30 minutes, twice a week is a great way to receive the benefits of strength training.  We break down why being systematic about your training is important and why getting very comfortable being uncomfortable is crucial to seeing results. Simon also goes through a sample High Intensity Training routine and how it should be performed. Really enjoyed this one!
