Fitness isn&#039;t exactly his favorite hobby, but with Happy Bodies, he&#039;s finally sticking to it. &quot;Those 35 minutes of training are manageable.&quot;<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Never go to the gym again<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Years ago, I started working out at one of the well-known, large fitness clubs. I hated it, and after about four sessions, I decided I&#039;d never go back. But hey, you get older and still want to stay somewhat in shape. When I read about Happy Bodies, I was immediately drawn to it. I liked their philosophy, as well as the fact that you can train your entire body in just 35 minutes. I went to check out Happy Bodies in Amsterdam Zuid and was immediately convinced. The atmosphere is pleasant, it&#039;s small-scale, and everything is very well-organized. For the first time in my life, I&#039;m able to stick with my workout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Swimming in the canal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">The only obstacle I face getting to Happy Bodies is the distance. I have to cycle fifteen minutes to exercise, which is actually my biggest challenge, even though cycling is incredibly healthy. I do dread winter a bit, but then again: I swim every morning at eight o&#039;clock here in the Amsterdam canals. That bit of cycling in the winter actually fits into my strategy for braving the cold.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Hate cardio<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">I&#039;ve recently cut back on my work by about eighty percent, so I can schedule my workouts effectively. I do the Milon Circle twice, the ideal combination of strength training and cardio. I actually hate cardio, but it&#039;s precisely the things you struggle with most that you need to do. The Milon Circle helps me with that.<\/span><\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    \n\n    <div  class=\"section has-colorscheme-1  section-cta for-cta is-variation-one\">\n        <div\n            class=\"cta-holder show_overlay has-overlay\" style=\"--overlay-color: rgba(10,10,10,0.65)\";>\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                        class=\"none default has-image-mobile-default\"\n                        src=\"https:\/\/happybodies.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/05\/unnamed-2-1-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n                            \n                        <div class=\"inner\">\n                                    <p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: 24pt;\">Slim &amp; fit in 2 x 35 minutes every 10 days<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Plan a <a href=\"https:\/\/happybodies.nl\/en\/free-trial-training\/\">free trial training<\/a> or do the online <a href=\"https:\/\/happybodies.nl\/en\/membership-test\/\">membership test<\/a> and discover in 1 minute which program suits you.
