Thank you. The ideas are really helpful. I do upper body but not split like that, I'm guilty of doing legs a lot so I'll give that a try :)

Thanks ! Any particular squats ? The smith machines busy a lot so I can't use it ... Do squats with kettle bells really do much ?

This was seriously helpful. Thank you very much for clearing that up for me. Amazing to know I'm not getting fatter haha .. I will introduce some complex carbs on weight days and up my weights .

Thank you :) will look into this carb thing more see what's going on so this is really useful

That's was poorly worded.. I mean if I have them at more than one meal every day .. Thanks tho.

Ok thank you :)

I'm not talking about the comments about water retention I'm talking about the comment with the video which was not even remotely useful. As for the word toning well I dnt want to be really muscly and have a six pack ect like the trend is so I thought that would be a better word

Oh god ... Enough with the negativity ! Thort people were supposed to be nice and help each other out not judge them (roll eyes) ... All I know is how my body reacts to eating a lot of carbs- badly so I'm gunna listen to what my body is telling me it think that's important personally

If I eat carbs everyday I gain weight. My clothes dnt fit me anymore regardless of how long I've been eating them . Theres loads of fitness people out there who eat low carb high fat diets so surely this can be an actual problem for some people

Ok thank you I'll give that a go!

Ok thanks !

Ok thanks for your help ! :)

Sorry! Right so on my two cardio days I do interval sprints (jog 1min then sprint 45 seconds for 10 mins) ) Xtrainer 15sec slow 15 fast as i can 30sec slow 30 fast as I can, 45sec slow 45sec fast 1min slow 1 min fast for 4 rounds Then the stepper changing up again how fast I go. Weight wise I do a diff every session I dnt…

Thank you :) this will help loads ! I dnt know much about gaining muscle at all.

Yeh .. I tried going up but I couldn't make it past like 7 reps is that ok?

As In that's why I'm not toned ? So I need to up my calories ?

I'm not on any weight program .. Maybe that's my problem. I do half my weight for legs 10 reps 5 times?

I'm currently on 1200 calories which i know is low but I've been told not to increase it too much too soon. I'm 5ft 4 and my fat used to be mostly stored on my legs and hips. I the. Lost two stone and now all of my weight gain is in that rubber ring of fat on the stomach. To look at I'm slim but I just have no definition
