This has been a great help to get my lazy bum in gear. Week 2 finished just now and I'm looking forward to a well earned rest and then cracking on with week 3. Sarah Millican's voice track probably isn't the harsh taskmaster I need, but she's great. Would be nice if it had integration with Google Health, as I've had to manually add each week as an exercise there to get it to track properly on my watch.
