Hi 'Jasnbeck98' As promised, here’s thoughts on FT40. One word: brilliant. Easy to set up and use. Manual’s easy to understand. There’s FAQs on Polar's website for more info, if need be. The nifty fit test determines fitness zones (fat burning/cardio) and tells you how many calories you’ve burnt in each. Data is kept for…

Hi all. No loss for me either :frown: , went a bit mad on the food yesterday. Good luck everyone else !

Hi all. Just completed cardio – didn’t burn many cals and went over recommended cal intake. Not the best day! :frown: @ Katekentlaw: respect for f/t work and p/t study! As a fellow f/t worker / p/t student (masters), totally understand how difficult it is. This is stuff you'll already know, but here goes. Sometimes it…

Hi all, completed legs & back. Recovery drink sure helps! Good workout but am useless at pull ups. Hopefully will get stronger (eventually?). Good luck all with your w/o’s. How’s everyone coping?

@Jasnbeck98: hi, just to say, not forgotten. HRM arrived yesterday. Will post thoughts tomorrow, just need to do fit test (first thing in the morning, whilst calm).

Yoga’s ok, not too tough but quite long, an hour and a half. Just need to factor length into schedule. Thanks @iarepocket for push up tip – will try. I’m rubbish at them but getting better. Don’t worry about the yoga – you’ll be graceful before you know it :happy: Will post my w/o results later.

Hi all. Just done c/synergistics – glad I managed to find the energy to work out. Feel better for having exercised. Keep up the hard work folks.

Hello all, Got more people on the group – brilliant. Will post my w/o activity later today: wasn't awake enough this morning to train. @lisa45199: very impressed getting the hubby onboard and sorting the cooking! Well done pressing your fitness test. I wasn’t great on ‘toe touch’ either or ‘wall squat’ – just about passed!…

Hi all, Yes ready to start. Look forward to it. Sounds good idea posting daily w/o activities. I did Kenpo yesterday, was really energised after. Unfortunately no exercise today (social events took over). ‘Lisa451999’: well done on sorting the meal plan. It takes time but its worth it. I’m vegetarian and it took quite a…

Hello all, Just thought I’d ask, what’s the plan for the group: daily/weekly w/o posts? Weekly weigh in? Body fat reading? (scary) Any ideas/ suggestions?

Ok will do. It’s been dispatched, hopefully arrive soon.

Ha, ha, yes us women are allowed to do that :-) I started on lean, moved to classic on the hybrid schedule. 'Rowerc2': sounds like you're way ahead of us, any tips?

Brilliant, missed the last group. Count me in, please. Doing lean, classic or doubles? I’ve been doing for a few weeks, mixed with TJ when don’t fancy doing 90’s cardio programmes. Did legs and back last night – definitely feeling it today! Look forward to a workout schedule. Speak soon. Let’s get ready to ‘bring it!’ :-)

Hi, I’ve gone for the FT40(F) – all singing/all dancing HRM. Cost a small fortune (not as much as others) but looks so worth it (only just ordered, waiting for it to arrive). Afraid I’ve not tried FT7 but have another HRM, very basic, and realised I needed to ‘upgrade’. You’ve probably read the FT40(F) spec so you’ll know…

Bump for round 3, or is it possible to join now? I'm a newbie to MFP and it would be great to join. If its not possible to join in, please do keep me in mind for October’s round 3. Thank you and good luck!

Hi! Depends on your fitness level already. I switch between both but found starting with JM helped before trying P90X. Also, depends how much time you’ve got. Some programmes are longer than others. Basically, do what you can and don't over do it. Check out the reviews for both, get a feel for what they offer, which is…

Hello all. Thanks for sharing your inspiring stories and piccies. You all look fantastic. Great to see its possible to lose the ‘middle tyre’ – can’t seem to get rid of mine! I’m 4’11, put on 133 lbs and looked like a ball. Excess fat/weight goes to my stomach, hips and thighs – not good for a small lady. Lost lose 11 lbs…
