According to the experts at swanky city centre studio Barry's, you're supposed to complete a workout three times a week to achieve real results.
I entered the new year somewhat optimistically (or, let's face it, naively) and decided to challenge myself to follow this advice every week throughout January. Now, anyone who's been to a Barry's class will know this is no mean feat.
It's a tough workout designed to make you sweat, mixing weight training and cardio for 60 minutes of torture - I mean, exercise - to get your heart racing and your body moving. In the summer, I attended a Barry's class every day for a week and, despite aching in places I never knew possible, I was converted into a fan.
