Hi, I use a Sony SBH20. Its a tiny Bluetooth receiver into which you can plug any headphones you like. I use the iPod earphones....cheap but the quality is great. Works great! Range is pretty good too! Shaun

Hey, Love running! Its just these past 2 days that have made me realise how much. For a couple of weeks it was a slog. Everything ached. Now I zone out for 30 or 40 minutes. All the worries of the world melt away. Its just me, my music, the crisp cold night air and the pavement. I'm in no way a fast runner and nor will I…

Hey, I lost a few pounds on an excercise bike. Before I was serious about weight loss and training i bought one and used it daily with training videos in front of my TV. It was a great workout and following the videos kept me motivated and interested. If you look for ride fit you'll find them.... Unfortunately I worn the…

Hi, Diet Indian tonic water is great. Fills you up with gas and liquid and calories are almost negligible. Keeps my bedtime hunger pangs at bay! Shaun

Hey, Weighed myself Monday....186lb.......Wednesday....180lbs. There is no way I lost 6lb in 2 days. When I weigh in again tonight I can guarantee I'll weigh about 186lbs again. I've seen this enough times now to realise it isn't me getting fat again or loosing massive amounts, slacking off, eating too much, etc its simply…

Hi, Find it incredibly boring and a complete waste of money. Not to mention the pretensious tw*ts flexing there steroid grown muscles in front of the mirrors and hogging the machines with there other unatural friends.....no thank you. Have my own room with weights etc where I can do everything I did at the gym but for…

Its called cardio for a reason.....it works your cardio vascular system.....remember your heart is essentially a big muscle. Yes I realise weight lifting works your heart too.. Do both cardio and weight training for an all round healthy body. Shaun.

Hi, 6 days a week of cardio until just this week. Started with Insanity which I loved and then moved onto running 4x a week (3x 4.5 Mile runs then '6K Sunday') with Insanity/T25/Max 30 on the non running days. Got down to 179lbs which is a 26lb lost. Got Norovirus which kicked the *kitten* out of me and I fell out of the…

Hi, Currently trying to get back into running after about 6 months off.....I wasn't been lazy just switched to Insanity, T25 and Max Out 30. Anyway.... Back doing 5k 4 times a week. Average about 10 minute miles....however my run logging app would have me believe I'm running quite a bit further at 8 min/mile....there way…

Wow I'm so shocked how rude some people have been! Well done guys. Way to go motivating her! I thought this was a support and motivation forum! Yes you need to do it for yourself but sometimes you need that bit of encouragement along the way! On the days where your thinking 'I'll miss it today and start again tommorow' its…

Hey, Its been few days of eating and drinking what the hell I want. Do I feel guilty? Nope...its a drop in the ocean. Cheers, Shaun.

Hey, Its a great workout! Shaun T's very motivating! I went from unhealthy, overweight and unmotivated to in shape, feeling great and with an appetite for excercise. Insanities hard work but if you push yourself and eat at a deficit you will see results. You can do this! I'm currently working my way through max 30 which is…

Hi, Same story for me for the past few weeks. Monday to Wednesday an hours worth of cardio a day, eating healthy good quality food. Get to Thursday and find I've lost the will. Eat what i want upto 2600 calories (my plateu calories) and some days eat surplus. Do no workout. Get to Sunday and think 'do you remember how hard…

What is it with some people trying to push weight lifting down your throat like its the be all and end all!?!?!? NOT EVERYONE WANTS TO LIFT BLOODY WEIGHTS! Insanity was the first program I did at the start of my weight loss. I lost 24lbs and got my fat% down to 15% also my overall health improved dramatically. The first…

Absolutely detest weight lifting. Boring and totally unfulfilling and i dont find it useful in the real world. Each to there own before I get berated! Love any of Shaun T's workouts. Max Out 30, Insanity, T25. Love the buzz afterwards. Feel 100% healthier and stronger than I ever did going to the gym. Shaun.

Hi, I use iCardio. Interface is clean and clear. Spoken voice is actually a recorded human and not a computer generated voice. In the couple of years I've used it its never crashed. Ive tried all the others but they never seemed to work quite as good as iCardio. Cheers, Shaun.

Going to a gym is not everything. You can have the same results working out at home for free...once you've bought some basic equipment. I've actually made better progress over 18months working out at home than the 3 years I was at the gym. Used to go to the gym alot when I was single and had money to burn. Then a house and…

Hey, Depends on your weight, age etc. There is a website that works out insanity calories for you. Type it into Google :smile: Personally I work it out as 10CPM....so roughly 400 over 40 minites.... Which is less than my HRM suggests.....Id much rather underestimate ;-) Shaun.

Hey, I don't have quite a hectic schedule! But most nights by the time the kids are sorted etc its usually 7 or 8 o'clock and I'm ready to relax. I find that even though my mind screams 'no sit down and watch telly' once I've set the video up and got my music on 10 seconds into the video I'm fired up for an hours workout.…

Hey, When running I have this nasty habit of making fists; the harder I run the harder I squeeze my fists. This gave me numb fingers and has actually led to very sore knuckles. I was doing this without even thinking! These days I run with one of those water bottles with the hole in the middle. This stops me squeezing my…

Not very effective how? The 'effect' you get is you move, your heart rate increases, you burn calories you create a larger calorie defecit? I suppose running isnt very effective? Or swimming? Not everyone wants to do weights.

Insanitys great! Good fun and Shaun T is motivating. I lost just over 20lbs however as has already been stated weight loss is about diet not exercise. Eat less then you burn and you'll loose weight. Those saying they didn't loose weight on insanity where simply eating more or equal to what there body was burning.....it…

Hi, Never realised I was getting fat until a friend of my sisters pointed out 'your brothers put loads of weight on'. Up until that point I just thought I was well built lol Started excercising on and off in September 2014 but didn't change my eating habits so actually put more weight on! Come January and after a talk with…

Hi, Used to go to the gym a lot when I was single. But then kids and a house happened and suddenly I had no money. £30 a month for a membership when i could do it for free at home was a no brainer. It took me a while to find some good videos. But then I discovered insanity. I loved it and moved onto T25 and Max 30. Shaun.

Hi, Firstly well done sounds like your doing great :smile: I don't get the 'your getting too thin' comments but I do get the 'Your fat comments' off a guy I work with. He's forever bringing cake in and leaving it on my desk...which then goes straight in the bin. Funny thing is I have a BMI of 24.1 which is healthy! Again I…

Every Saturday at the same time; after an hours cardio, before I've had tea. I used to weigh myself daily but found its easy to become compulsive about it. Shaun.

Hey, Love cardio, detest weight lifting. Some people believe its the be all and end all of excercise. For me its boring and incredibly repetitive.....I did it for many years too! Personally I get everything I need from Running, Max Out 30 and Insanity. Shaun.

iCardio. Tried the others but hated the robot soundng text to voice. Also the interface is simple and clean and it has never crashed on me.

Hey, I tried it but just couldn't get into it. I dont like the concept of zombies (yawn) either so i suppose that didnt help. In the end I uninstalled it. I much prefer listening to my music and having my stats (pace/ hr/ distance, etc) read to me every 5 minutes. Shaun.

Hey, Good job i read that. Coincidentally today I was going to up my intake to increase my weight loss due to eating too little.....Guess the only actual way is to eat less calories! Shaun.
