Cut out peanut butter! High calories when you can have greek yogurt and get loads more protein too

Les Mills is recognised as the best online classes around. Such a good mixture of hundreds of types and straight on your tv too and for all fitness levels. We lost nearly 14 inches and 3 stone in 12 weeks doing it last summer and for over a year do 4 to 5 classes a week at home, it's great!

7680 9537 3185 Been playing since the start with my kids.. They have moved on but I'm still on it lol

Measurement over scales. I lsot half an inch of my belly in last 2 weeks but scales show I weight extra 1lb. Scales can be devastating for confidence. Don't eat back exercise calories. I spent 6 months 5 days a week in the gym doing that and hardly lost anything. 3 months on les Mills on demand home bodyweight classes and…

I can't believe I didn't find it before... I have heard of it but thought it was like a ladies "bum and glute" type class.. How wrong was I lol the only thing I can't seem to do is turn my less flabby stomach to muscle... Lol...

I'm doing les Mills pump with the weight sets so high reps low weight but I always try to add a little more weight each time... I try for around 1750 calories and 180g protein a day. I'm currently 13 stone 1 so need to lose about 7 lbs still at least.. Just lost 12 in 2 months...

Walking 15 to 20 mins total a mile burns around 80 calories Exercise like hiit for 20 mins burns about 250 to 350. Its all down to how quickly you want results. You walk a mile a day 7 days a week, you burn 760 a week on top of daily burn. Hiit 5 times a week for 20 mins (which is no time at all) will burn 1500. So less…

My other half is female, 40 and overweight. She was like 12 stone 3 and in 8 weeks gone to 11 stone 1 by having protein meal replacement shake which one scoop with water for breakfast and lunch (200 calories a times) then a normal meal and some crackers in the evening and weekends we have bread for lunch etc. We have a…

My goal is belly and chest fat gone and I want bigger arms and some ab muscles to show...

Thanks 😊

This is 9 months after gym 4 to 5 times a week.. Non impact cardio only due to injuries but as of last month hitting the weights now... So was hoping to lose more by now...

I use a Samsung active watch to track the calories... They seem to match the gym equipment... Like the spin class equipment says 45 mins 14 miles of around 400 calories and my watch does the same... But I know its still a guess... I think I will start not taking notice of the exercise calories burned... And just stick to…

Yeah I make sure I scan the barcodes and choose the right weight etc, I have a small bowl of Oats for breakfast with a banana and a coffee with milk no sugar after workout in morning around 8am... Nothing until lunch around 1pm I have grilled chicken breasts x 2 normally with some salad like tomatoes and spinich... Have a…

It so hard to answer as it depends on your body frame. If you are slim and you are doing weights then you will not lose weight... You can gain it as you will be slim with muscle which means you weigh more than slim with fat... Try ditching the weights for 2 weeks and do cardio HIIT and bodyweight only if you are focused on…

I was thinking about doing body pump... I've been going to gym for nearly a year, 5 days a week... Mainly cardio due to knee injury. I have just started weights 3 times a week and thought about body pump class but didn't want to be the only bloke there... Are they for men too?

For me I have dance music or dubstep type for cardio like running, cross trainer and rowing. Funny enough for weights I feel you don't need fast paced music and I go normally for some good pop songs, Coldplay, Keane, to name a few... Accidently sing along to a few and get strange looks 😏
