@maybe1pe lol its sends my anxiety sky high. I was doing that routine confidently until I looked into it. gona stay off google now haha. @sijomial yes my training hasn't stopped ive started focusing on a programme this last week. it was just my diet that went abit wonky due to kids being off school and distractions, days…

im not sure if its what your looking for but there are body types called endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph. have a google and read what you think fits you best.

all of the above plus mentally challenged. no one wants to take on that shite !!

@JustPassingTime it doesn't have to be a sad song that tears you up, can be any song that brings a memory I suppose, could cry happy tears too. in my case id left it too long to make amends so my tears are sad. I also have a song that I relate to/ get upset to but cry angry tears.

same here. when I was a teenager I did my work experience in a recording studio around the corner from my dads house, then go round to visit him after. I sang the Bette Middler song Wind beneath my wings whilst there. I used to sing it all the time. he died suddenly four years ago this may and since then I cant hear or…

i should take my own advice but yea. anyhow. don't worry about others around you they will be concentrating on working out just as much as you. im quite slim but have anxieties so when i first joined in the classes at my gym i was worried about looking silly or not keeping up with others. but one day i was recovering from…

huge bag of sweet & salted popcorn or southend doughnuts no wait, warm chocolate muffin with chocolate custard! :*

no man will determine my happiness. sorry im a misery :#

yep. a song can take you back to a memory just as much a photo or even a familiar smell. don't stop me now by queen takes me to a happy memory when I was a child and before mental health stripped me of all I was. songs are powerful :)

oh my, the video alone is heartbreaking. bless <3

im 53kg and eat 130g of protein a day. some times a bit over that. if ive read correct your body gets rid of any extra protein. ive not had any issues with eating that much, but everyones body is different. try and eat what you want and any effects just reduce it abit.

this has gone off topic of training light everyday hahaha. just wanted to add that I have social anxiety (well have BPD which comes with many issue) so being in the gym has been a goal in itself. im more comfortable there now and know many faces. but im still easily intimidated or worried, anxious, depending on the moods.…

as in day to day life :/ im aware im breathing

hahaha if only.

lifts, escalators, bridges over water or roads, spiders, people; room of people, flying, deep water, the dark, being too far from home, loosing my hair or teeth, tight spaces. getting fat. not actually sure how im functioning? :D

its just an observation. i just see huge plates. but then i don't really look up and about i kind of keep my head down and head for the leg press and get out.

it was said in light banter way, sorry if it never come across like that. i say hello to most of them just don't get into conversation so next time im there ill grab some confidence to ask them to show me. i cant afford a PT, i did have one when i first joined but couldn't keep up the cost of it.

im trying, im looking for ways to do so without aggravating my back.

yes sure i will, i once went to join a hatha yoga but the classes started just as the school holidays started so couldn't go and forgot all about it. will see if its still going.

yes I do these as well as isometric holds, dead bug, side plank hold etc. maybe i need to do them more often? not sure i can train abs everyday or not so much train just the holds

ive tested for tight flexors and I can pass on holding my leg up and flexing it to the floor lying on a bench so its not this. ive always done pelvic exercises from childbirth, I don't have prolapse or incontinence or diastasis. but its also used as an abs activator exercise. even doing them make my back feel tight? I…

its a circle aint it, If I try and build up my ab strength my back then feels weak. ive been looking up ab exercises that don't stress the back so will try those.

in my gym the benches and barbells are all in one area where the power racks and big men are. i go to use the leg press there and there's always someone on the benches and intimidating huge weight plates. i don't even think I've seen a small plate there. most of them take turns on the bench during sets so there's no chance…

i spend time watching how to do exercises right, then a video pops up and says 'your doing it wrong' haha you seen those vids? i may ask some one at the gym to help with my form. they can correct my posture too maybe.

@rheddmobile thanks.

i only get back ache after working out, its not something that im in pain with all day, it just aches and affects my exercises. im sure its from child birth (x3) i had symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD) with the last 2 and i guess it never really fixed or went away? i do have a Windsor pilates ring, might dust it off. dig…

so eager to be able to do the 5x5 programme. no i wouldn't be able to increase as often as every session as prescribed it would be slower i guess. i tried to do heavier weight on the bicep curl machine and ended up in A&E wit h swollen arm. learned my lesson.

sounds good, sounds similar to what im doing but mine are clearly all over the place with no structure.

yes i remember you replied to my other thread, i use dumbbells mainly and a 10kg for deadlift which i might need to practice my form on more.

trying to visualise it and can kind of see what it is. i'll have a search for it.
