MMA is mixed martial arts. Have you seen UFC on TV? I'm not sure what alternating reps does, I will ask DH and see what he says.

Hi Girls,
i had a question. Is it Ok to do the muscle training exercises in small bits throughout the day or they have to be done at a strech of 20 to 40 mins. i mean can i do like 2 sets of squats at 10 am, then 2 sets of push ups at 12pm....then arm lifts ate 3pm....etc in my work breaks??? will that help T or we have to do them for a continuous period with a min breaks???

I've been doing mine in small bouts throughout the day:agree: Every bit helps and I don't really have any organised spaces in the day for long routines so just do what I can.

Cemas ITA with ELP! On days I don't go to the gym I'll do little things here and there when I think about it. I think it absolutely helps.
