halfpint Mar 2020 9:55am, 29 Mar 2020 30,528 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I did a Jennis session this morning. I couldn’t work out why full body 2 was so much tougher than full body 1. Half way through the second set I realised I’d been faffing with the app and had left it on intermediate. I’m so not ready for intermediate
