2 What sports can you do at Beslim Sports

I’ve been doing these activities for two and a half months. Every day –
except Sunday – I go to the sports centre and work hard. On Sunday
afternoons I ride my bike around the town – usually 15 kilometres. I’m
a little bit tired but it worths while I’ve lost 5 kilos so far! I’m getting
better and better and love moving!
If you have the same problem as me and need my advice write me to
