I've just started and I'm using a C25k program. I've cut my running and walking speed (from 6km/h walking to 5km/h) and I'm focusing on form and finishing the day's training rather than speed and distance. I'm having a little bit of knee pain but I'm learning to stretch my hips/legs and I'm taking a few more rest days than…

Sophie here! I'm 20, turning 21 in a couple of weeks, so I hope I still count. SW: 71kg CW: 73kg GW: 60kg Feel free to add me - I love the supportive atmosphere on tumblr and would love it on here as well! :)

Hey hun, there's a good thread here for under 20's > http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/495719-are-there-18-19-20-year-olds-on-here?page=2

I'm 5'1", 20 years old and currently 159lbs. According to that Fat 2 Fit link that someone posted, at my goal BF % of 20%, my goal should be 130. Which is so much more achievable sounding than 110 for me :) Oh and my current BF is 35% - not happy with that, but I'm maintaining the attitude that I am changing. For the good.…

I haven't measured mine, but I do think my calves are oddly muscled compared to my thighs. My thighs definitely show the need for a lot of toning and my calves are defined enough that when I tense them, you can see the outline of the muscle. However, I reckon that might be because I had chronic compartment syndrome (which…

I used to ride twice a week but haven't been able to since I was 18 (three years ago). When I was riding regularly and working on the farm for my lessons, I managed to lose almost a full dress size (didn't weight myself) and got a lot fitter just doing farm work. The horse I rode was a 16.2hh Thoroughbred schoolmaster who…

Haven't been riding for two years but I miss it so much. I was riding a 16hh Thoroughbred called Mickey (I'm only 5'2") but he had to be put down last year while I was at uni because his arthritis was so bad. He was an awesome schoolmaster who built up my confidence but still challenged me with uppity days. I'm hoping to…

Started yesterday. I quit once before after only 3 days but determined to get through this. I'm substituting plank for push ups as I simply cannot get the correct form. Also, in some of the cardio I have to do buttkicks instead of skipping or jumping jacks because of back issues. And for whoever it was that mentioned…

I would definitely get this checked out - I thought I had shin splints but my podiatrist asked me lots of questions and then sent me to a sports doctor and I found out that I actually have (had now) compartment syndrome. My pain felt like a squeezing feeling in my legs and built up while I was exercising but then it went…

@StefB31 - make sure you're doing your squats right - heels on the ground, weight going backward into your butt. I hated squats because of knee pain until I saw a post on Tumblr and realised I was doing my squats all wrong. Otherwise, always wear good shoes while you're doing them - stops your feet from rolling and putting…

I live in Australia - enough said. Grew up with a Huntsman (big hairy spider) as a pet who lived in the corner of my room and Redbacks as toilet guards... Still scream like a girl when they move too fast though. Or worse, disappear while you go get a shoe to squish em. Now wasps, I could live without...

Adelaide originally and Bunbury, WA now :happy:

Anyone interested in buying any Jillian DVDs should check out Big W right now - they've got about five of hers on special :) I started this yesterday and am sore but not overly sore. Those with leg injuries - she says in the bit with the punching that if you have leg injuries, just do punching instead of the other types of…

Can those who are suggesting low-impact modifications please link or describe these moves? Also, what is the low impact version of a jumping jack? Whenever my knees or calves (I have a lower back issue that makes my calves tight enough to feel like they are pulling when I go walking) hurt during this I switch to the boxing…

*Feel good in a little black dress *Wear a bikini to the beach *Wear mini shorts all the time *Get my belly button pierced - big one as I've promised myself I'd do that if I was an AUS size 10 again since I was 14 *Get a professional photo shoot done

And maybe a mat to lie on if you're on hard floors - also Jillian Michaels herself recommends wearing good shoes as it requires a lot of impact jumping (get used to jumping jacks).
