Have a look at "You are your own Gym", "Convict conditioning" or Reddit's bodyweightfitness routine - http://www.reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness/wiki/kb/recommended_routine

Well you've said you've see improvement, and afraid you won't do it without a PT, therefore makes sense to carry on as long as you're seeing improvement. You could try to do it on your own, and if you're not motivated go back to them, sure they wouldn't mind taking you back.

I've got a mio link, works, comfortable, but have to remember what each colour lights mean, if I'd had the money at the time I'd have got a mio alpha

That's cool we might still be able to work something out, give me a PM if you fancy :smile:

Do you work in London as well? I will be in central regularly London soon, so will need someone to run with, but it'd be around work times.

Hmm interesting I don't usually count things like the oil I cook in :blush: My goal is actually 3200 ish, it's just I often run (the same route) so ends up being 3700 after those calories are added back on. I'm on the fence between bulking/maintaining at the moment, would be bulking but can't seem to get my intake right. I…

Ah ha! Thanks, I just didn't like the idea of getting more utensils dirty just to correctly weigh or measure it, this'll work :smiley:

I had a feeling that would be the answer, thanks How on earth do you measure things like chocolate spread and marge? Would be a pain to actually use a tablespoon measuring spoon then try to dig it all out to spread it, or do I just suck it up and do that?

I run and I climb, I should do yoga too but don't (so very inflexible it hinders my climbing). I should think all three are a good combination so long as you don't end up doing too much. The only thing I do think weights/circuit training help extra for is balance all the pulling from climbing.

Had a mediocre week last week, start of a cold on Monday so went to deadlift 130kg (Would have been PR) only managed one rep, dropped to 125kg and got 4, was aiming for 5. Then had to skip remaining training days because cold became full blown man Flu. Did get 85kg on squat, last one on second set felt dodgy so asked…

I use MyProtein for (suprisingly) protein and other supplementy bits, get things like shakers off amazon mind, or occasionally free from myprotein with orders

My Missus and a friend going on and on about dull stuff.... Oh you mean songs! :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I don't like selfies, or the word, been taking pictures on a timer on the camera for years, never had to get the camera or my arm in the frickin picture so don't see the need for it! But if someone else...knock yourself out... just don't do it in the mirror infront of me when I'm checking form on a deadlift ;)

Oo doing veg in advance is a good idea, especially the peeling of the potatoes as that's my least favorite, most time consuming bit. I do have an oven that can be set to come on....I think, will look into that. Hmm soup, hadn't planned on doing any :stuck_out_tongue: Will be doing something for a starter, don't know what,…

But from having a quick look at your profile and goals....no don't bother, not worth it IMHO

Yep, Hello :)

Not sure if you get them out there but I use "1000 mile" socks they're pretty awesome, never had a blister in them. Actually even play basketball in then as I can't get a pair of shoes to fit properly so they protect my feet.

I'm currently waiting for a set of front lights to arrive but once they're here I can get back to cycling to and from work. So I'll set a target at 250 miles for the month (That's two days a week)

A heart rate monitor will usually give you more accurate calories. Not sure how else though.

^^ This

i have my protein impact whey, just have unflavoured as you get most protein per serving, then add hot chocolate powder for the chocolate taste.

I've got a Mio Link, it's just the wrist strap, has lights which flash different colours to let you know where your heart rate's at, you set these in their app. I really like it as it's so easy to just put that on, turn it on and go, it has bluetooth so can link to a phone to log your HR as you go. The only problems with…

Well done! I finally managed to drag myself out of bed this weekend and completed it (Alice holt), turns out I'm not very good at the "racing" bit of running, spent the first 2.5km slowly trying to overtake people and not wanting to get in anyone's way.

Pop to a local climbing wall (if you have one nearby) and do a introduction thing? Or maybe any sport neither of you does much, We've just had a trampolining place open near us, it's a massive warehouse full of trampolines, great fun (yes even for us adults)

Glad to hear that others do these runs and enjoy it! Turns out it was a good job I didn't try to go to my local one this past weekend, it had been cancelled as some other running event was on. I'm exactly the same, I'll make you a deal, how about we both go this weekend? (albeit to different ones)

Up the weight some more, the body adapts to the wight so add more If you're doing it at a gym get a member of the gym staff to just check your form, then up the weight. But you also don't necessarily HAVE to feel sore afterwards.

I took up climbing about a year ago now. As W31RD0 said, when you're doing it concentrate on placing your feet and then generally push up with them whenever you can, saves your arms, but your arms will get very tired very quickly to start with, it's all sorts of different muscles to other activities. Take rests between…

I tend do do cardio first, but only as a 5-10min warm up, then do resistance bits. I do my proper cardio on completely different days (or in a second session later in the day)

I didn't think I had one then remembered...I was at the gym and putting the barbell back on the rack, I took all the weight off one end, forgetting physics, the bar flipped up catching me in the chin and fell off the rack making a racket. I got lots of stairs and one guys comment of "Rookie error"

Thanks for all the answers. Think I'll try to eat more in the week if I can, usually struggle to meet my targets as it is thought, so might have to start packing a lunch on the weekend as well and treat them like normal days. Guess it'll be far easier to grab something if it's already prepared.
