I hate rest days, but they are necessary. But that doesn't mean you need to sit on your behind all day, active rest is what I do. Today was a rest day, so I went for a 6 mile hike at a very easy pace just taking in my surroundings. I'll probably have a stretch and foam roll session before I go to bed and I ran a mile to…

I regularly having boxing sessions with my PT and yes they can be really tough working the whole body and even giving my brain a workout. We also use boxing as a warm up.

Next on list is trx, then starting on plyo boxes (at the moment I'm jumping on to a step at the highest setting). But the boxes start at £100 for…

I'm 148lb, walked 20000 steps yesterday (included a 1 mile run) and got an adjustment of 720 Calories. This was just general pootling around, no fast walking.

Sunday Had myself a rest day, all I did was run a mile to keep my streak going

I am not the fittest, but I consider myself to have all round fitness. I can run....not stupidly fast, but up to a marathon, generally I run 20-30miles a week. I can lift weights.....again not stupidly heavy, my big four are all in the intermediate category on strengthlevels I can row...500m in just over 2min on a rower,…

Start with this post here https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you/p1 I started with Stronglifts 5x5, starting with the lightest bar in the gym and then progressing up. It's really important to nail form while the weights are lighter. Everyone is going to have a…

Exactly, I can run for 4-5hours at an easy pace and burn 3000+ Calories in the process, but can only manage 20-30min of sprint or hill training, which probably burns around 200 Calories

I'm 47 too and a proper short@rse, I started losing weight in Nov 2015 and am maintaining a 150lb loss (2 years now). I started weight training around 6months in to my journey as well, absolutely love picking up heavy stuff and putting it down again, but I also love an intense cardio session and to run. Not really a 5k…

Pretty easy wednesday for me. Trainer wants me to reduce intensity for the next couple days. 30min 6am sprint session using the giant resistance band. 1hr piyo class, really love this class.
