cardio is cardio.... as long as its not max effort everyday for 1.5hrs youll be fine... be careful sweating out electrolytes and salts mind you. however.... and this is a big however WHY! ;) i do it because i enjoy the stress busting but a lot do it so thay can eat a shed load of cals!

Are you really Miss Jenkins... :) I`m from Wales, but dont let that bother you... you can always move haha!

i`d rather poke my eyes out with a kintting needle ;) i`ll share a medevil banquet if thats on offer

kurmas are full of sugar, they tase sweet when you eat them... to be fair every curry dish out there are manufactured slop with extra grease in the sauce.. on face value i would say the mixed grill with boiled rice however saying that even the lamb patty stuff will be full of grease and additives. so baically anything…

I get them to wait so long they are begging for it haha! Seriously :)

Some good stuff on this topic from people with all sorts of different experiences.. One thing is common on all posts determination, "if they aren't stopping neither am i"

sweat is your bodys` natural defence against over heating, your body assumes you are overheating so you sweat. they say not to wipe sweat off as the wind chill cools you down, however in a gym envirmonment this isnt possible! i sweat like a pig, i drip, my clothes get wet... i do get concious of it but i dont care that…

just watch a lot of youtube videos and picked out the items that sounded plausable... i focused on:- overstride arm position 90 degrees at elbow arm movement - not crossing your chest only for/aft.. (you may look like a dumb *kitten* moving your arms like a sprinter at 5mph but when you hit 8 you feel the benefit!!) fists…

I been a wannabe for around two years, whenever i start i go too fast, too quickly with poor form and bad shoes... that`s until this attempt. i reaserched correct runing form {yes there is a proper efficent way of running} and started out doing half a mile at around 6.5mph, i have decent cardio ability but have never had…

its all about weight. a heavy person would have to expend more energy propelling themselves that a lighter person. If your father had set it up for his weight that the figure it quotes would be questionable. to be fair all i use my HRM for is average heart rate over a period, max heart rate and keeping in a specific…

firstly i can not stress this enough but get a Gait assement and trainers prescribed to your feet, dont just go for Nike off the shelf things! the assesment may say that the Nike shoes are good enough for you, if thats the case carry on with your original shoe! research good running form, forget speed to start... work up…

wow! thats an extreme coincidence! im from north wales, close to Rhy l

yeah, the boredom factor! i say if you are doing it to give your lads a head start why not do some major swatting up if you are injured - do a home course in a science subject. then you can train bodies and minds? and beat the boredom?!

i can relate to that, i get injured and try to push too hard to get back to where i was. However the last time around i researched correct form for everything from lifting to running, and started off building week on week. touch wood its all going well. there is a guy i know of 93 who goes to a gym i frequent.... you want…

if you are going to eat it, eat the best and consider it as a major treat! not simply because the sun is out

i generally work out to just below overtraining zone ha! add me.

eating for sure... i can outtrain my bad diet but its hard work haha

just one, a 0 guage prince albert :)

Madness! I too know the feeling of loosing the 5-6st mark :) well done

Yo! How's it going, nice to meet you

i was in the same boat as you, i started using an assisted chin machine and got hooked but i found a guy on youtube with decent info called scooby who told me to walk the plank, i`ll let you look for the video to understand,,, anyhooo i dont get pain in my elbows as such i get pain in my grip - prob due to the 200 or so…

i find a head cold, stuffed nose clears with a workout. dont worry about contaminating as you are contagious before symptoms exist! if i am coughing, have muscle pains etc i just rest... to re-itterate if its above the neck work out... if its below the neck rest it out!

get rid of them... BTW i only clicked into this topic because i thought it was someone with an eating disorder!! :)

you are doing FAB!!

oh it suits me! anybody who is comitted

email the supplier, perhaps it has been assembled incorrectly or they may have a solution - never accept something that isnt 100% compatible with yourbody

when you used to max out heart rate @ 170watts on an eliptical and it is now 450watts. when you used to eat takeaway for treats but now you cant remember when you had your last. finally when ANYTHING processed is junk especially when it says "weightwatchers, good for you, low fat..."

to be fair none of the calorific burn data on any HRM is accurate there are far too many variables. i have noticed a higher burn on digifit, i thought it was down to the nett v`s gross > so i take off 150cal per hour as normal activity burn. you can use a hrm as a bench mark to see if you have worked harder in a shorter…

cheaper and more effective to sit on an old poorly maintained bus for an hour

you can loose that easily in that time, there will be slip ups and dilemas but ultimately you need to ask yourself if you really want the goal you have set. i will say now that you must have wanted it in order to set it and that it is not impossible - but do you still want it? id start by thinking about the positives about…
