At the halfway point in the contest, I must say I’m quite impressed with the results. Although measurements and the scale probably wouldn’t indicate much of a difference, I can certainly see one in the mirror. After one week on the TT for Abs I can already see a distinguishable difference, so I’m really looking forward to seeing what the next three weeks bring!
