Not sure how the groups work also is this ladies only?

sounds like he is active...so just try reducing portion sizes and logging those

tell him this "want him to live a longer healthy life" but at same time try and steer both of you towards more healthy habits in terms of eating, so healthy meals, buy less unhealthy snacks as if they not in house you wont eat them, maybe go for some walks etc. Maybe he doesn't want to make a change himself but if one is…

Hello there I am in the UK as well (South East) I have open diary and tend to track all food (not exercise) also I adjust my kCal target up and down depending on current goal. I do tend to eat the same foods however so not that exciting but people are more than welcome to add me

total calories are all that matter for weight loss but if you are trying to change body composition and working out a lot there will be a minimum amount of protein you need

Welcome and best of luck you already did the hardest part and that is getting started

You could use an online fdee calucualor to work out your kcal and then add those here manually as your target....that's what I do

so what like 60 sec of each and move onto next taking say 60 sec rest? I see people punching with dumbbells throw those in

What gym is this? Doesn't sound that nice, clearly management are happy with his hard sell PT as they allow the posters. Have you thought about trying another gym not just because of this trainer but if you don't feel comfortable in the workout area anyway due to the men that are in there. All gyms tend to have a different…

I used to do crossfit and always found the hook grip difficult

Inviting me on their next adventure

You might joke but I have a crushed little finger tip (three way scar) when a weight stack fell on it years and years ago......yes there was blood

Strong

If you find leg press too easy add some resistance bands....or just do it anyway if you want to set ur quads on fire

I assume he is on probation period (unless that's only a uk thing) he has been there less than 3 weeks so they can prob just say it's not working out. One alternative would be to maybe voice your concerns to a female trainer there if they have them and u would feel more comfortable doing that. Say you think he is being to…

Those are some lats!!!

the optigrill seems really good at "telling" you when the meat is cooked so again making it easier for you

I have used these for years and years and I use them all the time. I never had a George Foreman one though there are other health grills. I would definitely buy one with removable plates in my opinion don't even consider one without removable plates. At the moment I have a Tefal Optigrill its not the cheapest but I think…

Welcome great you have made first step can I recommend to start with you make it small one. Don't go too extreme to start with on the diet front. You doing the right thing cutting out fizzy drinks and as well as that try and cut out the obvious bad food. Try to eat healthy balanced meals from whole foods meat/fish and veg…

Liquid chalk is much less messy

Wow! So you assume he only talks to women and not guys?! Here is bombshell he works in a gym as a gym instructor it's his job to instruct/help the gym members and sell pt he needs to talk to "people" to do that. If you made it very clear your not interested then I agree with everything above if you haven't then you should…

Some gyms allow liquid chalk over normal Or Get some lifting straps they go round your wrist in a loop but then you use the "tail" to wrap round the bar and u hold that as your grip goes they tighten on themselves . I have not explained it that well but they are cheap I use them on heavy rows as grip always goes before ur…

Yes I did read it......both times she ended up doing the exercises he showed her not "abundantly clear" to me she made it clear to him....I am not saying this guy is right in his approach but getting someone fired because you haven't made it clear you don't want their help isn't right either. Some people don't get subtle.

The guy has only just started there things might have been different where he was before. He might think he is trying to help or more likely get a client. Have you made it clear to him you you don't want his advice it seems like you maybe too nice to do that so have listened to him hoping he will go away and now he thinks…

Haha true never noticed that
