This article explains better what I meant. To quote it directly "eating breakfast can increase your resting metabolism by up to 10%"... So yes, breakfast does 'Rev up' your metabolism. http://healthyeating.sfgate.com/breakfast-affect-metabolism-8697.html

Try downloading the 30 day fitness app from iTunes. It has loads of great strengthening and toning exercises which take only a few minutes. Combine that with cardio, like walking. Try buying a step counter and walking 10000 steps a day. X

Thanks all. It's really insightful :) and ladies who skip breakfast because it leaves you hungry, that's just your metabolism revving up for the day as it were. Skipping breakfast isn't the best thing to do but if it works for you, great.

As long as you stretch properly and cool down correctly, you're fine. Soreness is good. It means your body is working hard. I say soreness and not pain. If you are in PAIN as apposed to just aching then you are doing something wrong, so be careful lol x
