A good (short) workout that will straight-up murder you is: 30 seconds push-ups 30 seconds squat jumps 30 seconds tricep dips 30 seconds burpees (or star jumps) 30 seconds shoulder press 30 seconds rest Repeat 5 times.

My personal trainer advised that for the average gym goer you shouldn't do more than an hour at a time. Any more than that and you're at much greater risk of injury. If you want to do longer then he advised doing a few sessions a day. On the other hand, if you're stuck for time, anything is better than zero. And like…

Hi everyone! Add me if you like too! I like to keep my weight loss chat on my MFP feed and off my other social media so always looking for more friends!

I tried a Herbalife shake once and it was the worst thing I've ever done to my body. I was so unwell all day, it was like the worst food poisoning I'd ever had. It totally wrecked my system. Would run away from it like the plague.

This is all great advice! Thank you! I should probably add, my sandwich is absolutely PACKED with chicken and spinach! So I'm not neglecting nutrients there. I can definitely snack on fish/eggs/greens at home but at work? I need things I can keep on my desk/in my drawer, so most of those snacks aren't an option as they'd…

Hey Lyndsey - do you have a specific lifting programme that you do?
-
I had to LOL at the Nike+ fitness app... when you go to create a program it's like 'why not add running to speed up your weight loss?' - bearing in mind I picked a beginner program - first day it tells me to run 5 miles. AYE OK HANG ON I'LL JUST GO NOT DO THAT.

Running can go die. I love the rowing machine, and I love yoga (even though I know that's technically not cardio but I do it to break a sweat).
-
That is totally solid advice! I'm loving it :smile: I'll definitely try to do that. Are there any poses that you'd recommend for near beginners to try out first?

So I started today! I used to follow these videos when I was practicing a lot more often. This one is my go-to one. It's a 20 minute "morning yoga for weight loss" but it gets a good sweat going and the back bend at the end is something I really need to work on so I enjoy seeing my progress the more often I do it!…

Thanks 999tigger for the awesome advice! I'll maybe drop you a message since I'm unsure if you'll get a notification about my reply! I've checked and the concept 2 is a lot more expensive, it's £120 for the 8 weeks - or £65 for 4. I reckon I might go for the cheap one to start and then if I do use it I'd look at trying the…

I'm up for doing this as well! I love yoga but have recently fallen out of the habit. This will give me an excuse to get back into it!
