Hey everyone! So I'm back again after a 20lb weight gain, started doing HIIT workouts and vibration plate, nearly all my friends that I had on here have been inactive for over a year so I need some new active friends please!

    Just know, its more about your diet than it is exercise. Understanding the human body might help. If you eat foods with high carbs/sugar, you will spike insulin which is as a fat storing hormone. Check your diet and try to figure out why you gained 20lbs. Good luck to you.

    Because I was off work for nearly 3 months after fracturing my coccyx and my job is quite physical, I'm trying Joe Wicks plan

    Well something doesn't sound right. 20lbs of weight gain (assuming it' fat) is huge. I don't know what Joe Wicks plan is, but you should have been more in tune with what you were eating during that time. Again, it is about 85% diet and 15% exercise. Exercise is important, but diet is WAY more important. Good luck.
