Thanks :)

Hello , you are skipping the right way :) Just be careful and consult your physician to make sure that you wont have any problems using the rope. keep doing it and always try to do it for a bit more. Maybe take a little break between sets. Do 30second stop for 90sec then do another 30 and repeat this process a few times.…

There is nothing wrong with what you are doing, obviously the stairclimber and squats will put pressure on your knee so you have to be careful, try lunges the put less strain on the knees. Why don't you try swimming as well. it is great full body workout and cardio. Your caloric intake and diet is good as well. but if you…

You could try reducing your calories down to 1300-1400 and see if you lose weight.

stick to running for the time being until you do your 5k run, focus on that. Hunger is normal, you could probably eat a bit more and still lose weight. Just try to be consistent with your intake so you know how much you are losing. If you are losing more than 2 pounds each week then eat a bit more, 1600 per day. if you are…

You could start by doing circuit classes, or 3 full body workouts per week every other day. when doing a full body workout you can do I exercise per body part for 3 sets of 10-12 repetitions. Legs, back , chest, shoulder, biceps and triceps. that is just an example. There are many different workout plans out there you just…

i am afraid you need to consult your doctor or physio as I am not qualified for that medical condition. Obviously you are in pain so you cannot exercise maybe it is just a matter of time and letting it heal. I am really sorry I cant help. In the meantime you can do exersices that don involve flexion of the elbow.…

ab exercises dont burn belly fat that is a myth, diet in combination with exercise will get you to burn body fat and get a flat stomach. So make sure you are in a caloric deficit of 300-500 per day and exercise 3-4 times a week.

Hi I am guessing you have to reduce your bodyfat my dear through exercise and diet, try and eat at a deficit of no more than 300-500 calories everyday.

that is a very good starting point try eating 2000 as that's when your body is recovering, track your calories consistently and take pictures so you can make comparisons. I reckon as it has been mentioned by someone else that your metabolism is high and you will probably need a bit more calories to build a muscle and gain…

Definitely add some leg exercises in there, legs burn the most calories. Your calories are quite low at the moment do not drop them any lower. I had a look at your diary, you tend to zig zag a bit with your intake, some days you are under1220 other days close to 1500. I suggest to become very consistent . So pick a number…

Initially you can start with 3-4 times a week of 30 minutes of cardio, can you cycle? maybe on a stationery bike? If not maybe try using an ergometer if your gym has it. It will be tough to strengthen legs when you have knee problems so you have to be careful not to injure yourself. You can try back lunges for your quads…

Lose fat first, because while trying to build muscle you will accumulate some fat as well so it is good to start lean so you can control your fat gains.

I would recommenced that you start training a bit lighter on the ones you have problems with. Really focus on form. Start with muscle endurance 12-15 reps. Perfect form short recovery. Hope this helps Alexis

Hi unfortunately you cannot build muscle and lose fat at the same time, you can get your muscles more "toned" while you get leaner. But you cannot build bigger muscles while trying to lose fat. To build muscle you need to be in a caloric surplus and to lose fat you need to be in a caloric deficit. Having said that because…

Well done on your weight loss!! The more gentle the exercise, the better it will likely be for you. Frequently recommended exercises for people with your condition include: Warm-water exercise Yoga Tai Chi Pilates Other low-impact exercises include: Bicycling Walking Step aerobics (once you're in fairly good shape) You…

If you have not lost any more weight that means that right now you are eating at maintenance. Training and eating for weight loss is different to training and eating for performance. So you probably need to lower your calories slightly, 300-500 and see if you are losing weight. If you need the carbs for your running just…

That is some great advice right there!

Can you see your abs ? Is your body fat Low enough? Getting blockier abs will require working your abs every other day . work them heavy and with intensity , weighted crunchers on the cable machine , weighted oblique twists , leg raised , dragon flags . Don't do more than 12 Reps for each set but make those Reps count . At…

First of all well done for staying active and not letting your limitations get in the way . That is very inspiring ! There are many things you can do at home , pull ups , tricep dips , push ups (with different variations like diamond push ups ) even investing £40 buying weights and you can do deadlifts at home , clean and…

Thank you :) and you are welcome !

Well if you want to get leaner you will have to become a bit more discipline with your diet I am afraid . Yes adding a bit more cardio will help to balance out the over eating but in all honesty that is not a correct way to see results . Junk food will have a negative effect on your health and will not provide you with the…

Hi there well done on your progress keep at it . Taking a break will actually do you good , allow your body to recover and come back stronger. I take a week off every 10-12 weeks . Coming back ease your self into it and try to hit your PR immediately , there will be a light decrease in strenghth but will be back in a…

In what kind of shape are you right now ? If you cannot see your top first abs then I would not recommend that you bulk. If you are lean though and you are not gaining weight then try increasing your daily intake 300-500 . You obviously need to know how many calories you need to maintain your weight at your current…

Wait till your knee is better and until your physiotherapist tells you that is alright to resume exercise. Stay at a small deficit of you can and see how your recovery is coming along . But if you start feeling that the lack of calories is hindering your recovery then Eat at maintainance

Hello there, I have found a great article that is definitely worth a read . http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/womens-cellulite-free-guide.htm It all comes down to diet and training and being willing to push your self beyond what you think your limits are while avoiding injury . I don't think massages work at all. Train dirty…

Hi there , if you enjoy what you are enjoying what you are doing then continue doing it :) circuit training is a great way to lose weight and get fit. Once you hit your goal Wright you can start a weight lifting program with being compound movements such as squats, deadlifts and presses to build lean mass. Now about your…

Hi @leez839 To begin with start jogging 3 times a week for 30 mins at a pace where you can hold a conversation. You can then up them to 4 and slowly up the the time to 40 mins. This will be a good start to get you into exercising if you are new to it and then you can start doing High intensity interval training if you like…

Hi @sistrspkrl yes soreness does intake that your muscles have had a workout, there are various degrees of soreness that you might experience depending on the workout, hydration, diet, post workout stretching and foam rolling. If every now and then you don't experience soreness that does not mean that you did not have a…

Hi this phase does not last long only 1-2 months. The body is "confused" and tries to adapt to exercise and for a little while it burns fat while maintaining and build muscle mass. So if you are not losing weight after this then you have to really experiment with your deficit until you are losing 1 pound week. It is all…
