  • Paris.. or the Guadi un finished cathedral La Sagrada Familia
  • I would look to add a body weight circuit training session in there. Great for strength and conditioning. The issue is you can not 'spot reduce' fat and where it stores in your body... the likelihood is first in last out. Therefore you have done really well getting to this point. Stick with it... and add a 30 minute…
  • Sorry I'm late... HAHAHA Just stumbled across this and though it was an excellent Idea.... I am happy to play catch-up 1st April 90minutes football (soccer) 2nd April 45minutes gym weight training 4th April 55minutes gym weight training 5th April 90minutes football 6th April 25 minutes stationary bike 8th April 90minutes…
  • 3 weight sessions 45 mins tops. 1 cardio 60 mins. 1 meta con circuit 60 mins (currently doing 300 workout sub 30mins (optional). 1 game of football (soccer) 90 mins. 1 maybe 2 rest days
  • Follow the wendler 5 3 1 program.. and you'll be fine.. use the boring but big assistance if you want to really hit it hard.. also tabata row at the end of each session. 8 rounds 20 secs work 10 secs recovery.
  • Personally I always do heavy weights before cardio. Will also do heavy weights then a mini circuit of exercises that have a better intensity (metabolic conditioning effect) than cardio... I also find cardio... really really boring.. Perhaps you need to review what your goals are?? If you want to be lean then intensity and…
  • I would agree with wellbert. If you have had an ACL replacement, do more squats, lunges, leg press as these are called "closed kinetic chain exercises" Quads and hamstrings work together whereas the leg extension is all about the quads and could hurt you further. The only good way I have found to use the Leg Extension is…
  • Do the 80kgs and then weekly up the reps per set. Remember power = W / T (sorry loved physics at school.) Once you get to 12 reps, add more weight. You could have a large build up of lactic acid as you perform your reps (slows your ability to process muscular contraction). This is something as you get fitter you are able…
  • Ditto mathjulz Squats, lunges, pistols, burpees, jump squats, step ups, skipping, roman chair, there are loads... good luck
  • Yeah the stong lift program is great for what youare looking for. Squat everyday and bench or pull in the session. You can also try olympic cleans and snatches which are both awesome for whole body strength.
  • Agree with both the above posts, perhaps throw in some CLA to help. Increase your intensity and decrease your duration of your cardio for 2 sessions a week. The last part is always the toughest but keep focused on the end goal and I'm sure you'll get there. Good luck
  • Foam rolling is for myo-fascial release, massage can be for a multiple of reasons. If you are tight in and around a specific area then foam rolling may loosen off the sheath around the muscle and increase blood flow to the area, if you are looking for something deeper I would always see a specialst. Most foam rollers are…
  • Perhaps try the 5,3,1, program its very similar to the 5x5 progrma but you can train days next to each other as you dont squat every day. I did the 5x5 ad when the squat got up to nd past 140KG's it was really difficult to recover fully for the next sessions. It also massively impacted on my other exercises. 5, 3, 1 caters…
  • No could never hit a woman, I could stop her from hitting my but never strike back, its just not right!!
  • Nuts, Cheese (becareful they are high in fat), Egg whites, Chicken, Turkey, Beef, Lamb are all high in protein, I tend to plan and prepare when seriously focused otherwise just look at it and see if a cave man could have eaten it?? If its been processed or manufactered then dont eat it. Hope ths helps Good luck :-)
  • I fast every Thursday. No poroblems, so long as I drink plenty of water through out the day otherwise I get dehydrated and headachey. Its the old cave man tradition of east stop eat. I think it also shocks your body into utilising fat more effieciently. I only do it on a day of no activity would not recommend any exercise…
  • There is no scientific evidence to say how and when it was a selling point of a trainer years ago. You subconsciously hold your breath when pushing, thats natural it can also help fix you in place and core. Obviously if you are pushing a car, what is the first thing you do........big breath in and push!! so long as you are…
  • That is brilliant just icing on the cake for you and all of your hard work!! Well done! :-)
  • definately, the thing also to look at is the increase in the intensity on a weekely basis. As you only have 30 mins keep adding a 2% increase in the speed or the gradient or the number of reps or the weight. If you record on MFP you will see you are getting fitter as well as toning up. Hope this helps.
  • You have am itch on the side of your head?
  • Jen, After breaking my leg and rupturing my ankle ligaments over 2 years ago, I still have very limited range of motion in my left ankle. I put on a good 2 stone from this time as i was on crutches and non weightbearing for 3 months, KILLER!! So i know where you are coming from . The secret to getting back on the horse is…
  • Move out, sorry to be a killer of the joy, but if the guy does get scared off you've lost a really good friend. Perhaps keep ticking over and wait for him to make the move, that way you'll definately know, otherwise he might just see you as a little sis type figure that he wants to take care of and make sure you are OK.
  • I am from Notts UK as well
  • Perhaps you should set the goal to be doing 1 more every time you do the program than yu did previously this way you know you are growing, or recover slightly and then go again, there is nothing wrong with only doing knee push ups so long as yuo are doing more and more. If you can why not put a ruck sack on do the knees…
  • 6 sets of 2 minute intervals at 80% your HRM or at a speed you find challanging, recovery 2 minutes walking at around 6KM/H or 4MPH. If you complete the following week you up the intensity of the interval by 0.5MPH. Is this the kind of thing you are thinking of?? Do this for a month and chart it see how the weight drops…
