fordies

I have always wanted to try a spin but never got round to putting my name down for the class and just kept using the gym, however after reading this thread I will have to give it a go soon.

I find I get the nauseous feeling if I don't give myself enough time before eating and training.

My favourite exercise is squats but generally love all resistance work My least favourite is the treadmill

Squats are killer for the first few sessions but you will get past it eventually. I could hardly move after I first introduced squats into my routine but now I only suffer with muscle soreness when I increase the weight. Just keep plugging away at them and I can assure you it will improve.

I use a digital scales in the house for most of my weigh ins but in the gym I go to they have a mechanical column scales which I will use once a month just to check the accuracy and to make sure my gym profile is updated.

I have lost a cinder block :)

Definitely the money on buying new clothes but I can cope with that if the fat loss continues :)

I go over about once a week but it's only a little over and for the other 6 days of the week I more than make up for it. I have had some decent results since using it and me going over once every few days hasn't had any major effect on my weight loss.

It is also a lot better than sitting down on the sofa and doing nothing. I find it to be quite helpful on the days I cant make it to the gym so I do about 25mins of different…

I find that MFP always underestimates my calories burned by approx 100-150. The machines in the gym know all my stats due to the dongle we use to plug into the machines and also it will take into consideration the incline and resistance so should in theory give a more accurate result. I choose to follow the one which gives…

I echo that thought, If I was to do it all at home I honestly believe I would rarely do anything because of other distractions. I find going to the gym gets me in the right frame of mind for a workout and the process of having to go to the gym gives me that extra motivation. The other aspect of it for me is that as I am…

I have the book and while I haven't read too much into it at present the bits I did got me wondering how much of it is available free on the internet. That is the impression I got from the bits I have read but like I said I haven't put too much time into so could be a lot better than I am making out. I plan to use the book…
