As the routine becomes familiar the fluidity improves. The first cycle feels like the longest but it goes quickly after that – crikey it’s only 25 minutes there’s no excuse.

Hi Kirsty, if your GripSack is a bit under filled and therefore floppy, there’s an easy way to fix that: just add polystyrene packaging chips, bubble wrap, or a bit of that foam pipe insulation to fill some space.
