  • Yes I have been fitted for shoes, but did not know about socks. What kind of socks should I get? I don't run as much as I walk, mainly hiking. Thanx for the reply :)

  • Mix it up a bit, 3 days cardio and 2 days weight training works for me best. Too much cardio and not enough rest will put your body esp. heart under too much pressure and even when you lose weight, which you will, you will have to do strength training anyway to tone up, otherwise will remain flabby (speaking from…

  • No way, putting extra stress on your already fragile immune system won't do you good. Your body won't be able to utilise your workout properly because it is fighting and focusing to get you better, so its like torturing yourself for nothing. Same goes when you have alcohol in your system, your body works overtime to get…
    in Do you work out when you are sick? Comment by MarlyIc1 October 2015
  • I find it hard to eat in the morning. I have a coffee as soon as I wake up and that's normally it, until about 1pm. Sometimes if I go for a hard workout, I have a banana before lunch time.

  • Hi, I used to work in retail and did packing and lifting quite heavy, and once I used a heart rate monitor to measure how many calories I burnt, and on a hard 5 hr shift, I burnt about 500 calories. Unless you're puffed out like crazy, it won't be that much, but still heaps better than sitting. Here is a link you might…

  • Maybe have more fish in your diet. For me I find, eating mainly fish and lean chicken is the best way to reduce body fat, beef and lamb are very high in fat, so I only have beef once a week and lamb on special occasions only. Other things I eat for protein, is unsweetened plain yoghurt daily as a side dish, goes nice with…
