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;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Never go to the gym again<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Swimming in the canal<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h3>Hate cardio<\/h3>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Porgy Franssen is an actor and director, known for film, television, and theater.
