Why don't you set yourself a weekly calorie allowance? If you slip one night then so what? Calculate your BMR and your TDEE. Your BMR may be 2000 and your TDEE may be 2600. 2000 x 7 = 14000 2600 x 7 = 18200 To lose about a pound a week you need to take 500 calories off your TDEE. 18200 - 3500 = 14700 per week calorie…

Calories in vs calories out in any given 24hr period. Don't get caught up on what time to eat. Eat when hungry but stay under calorie goal. Find a 24hr gym if possible.

The Concept 2 sets the standard. But the Horizon Oxford is also up there as an alternative.

Anyone who thinks that the so called "negatives" of the natural sugar in fruit outweigh the benefits of all the natural and healthy nutrients is out of their mind! This perception drives me insane!

Good effort mate. What is your height? I am 6'2" starting weight 113kg in April, currently 98kg, goal is about 80kg.

GSP workout DVD is probably best one I have seen. Don't go too heavy on the weights as the initial weight is deceiving and becomes much heavier once you have gotten half way through the workout!

I would imagine low impact resistance jogging in a swimming pool...

Fantastic. Still young enough for your skin to spring back and be firm, and a good age for all your natural testosterone and other growth hormones to build good muscle.

Good work. What is your height?

Freeletics

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz3AG-oCXTE Watch this video. One of the most knowledgable in the business.

If you are still not sold on FSAND, then go on YouTube and watch 'Super Juice Me'. I think the results speak for themselves.

Quite simple. How are you finding the workouts? I am using the gym and running apps and see my performance increasing. Then I know I have worked hard due to muscle soreness and the amount of sweating!

Freeletics Bodyweight. Freeletics Running. Freeletics Gym.

A 12 min mile is a mile further than sitting on the couch doing no mile at all!

Judo here. I have been to a few BJJ classes but found the judo is more exhausting on the muscles and lungs.

I use them for an all body warm up no matter what weights I am doing. If it has resistance, gets the heart rate up and can adjust how fast you go then It is as good as any other cardio machine.

Maybe hitting it heavy after such a long time off is too much on your body. I've started back training but gone light and building up for a few months and still get muscle sore even though I know I can lift much more...

I have downloaded Freeletics Gym app and paid for the 15 weeks coach. There is a video for every exercise. It has you starting off at the light weights and gradually moving up. You don't even have to think about what the workout will be as it is already planned for you with the demo videos. Just tell it how many days you…

I've started Freeletics Gym coach app (not the bodyweight or running version). I have had a few years away from training but know I can still lift a bit. However, the app had me starting at literally a 15kg bar. The first couple of weeks the routine had me still muscle sore and slowly but surely I am adding the weights,…

Good work. Same height as me. Same starting weight as me yesterday. I was 100.6kg late last year but poor diet, divorce issues, being single dad has took its toll and I piled it back on through no exercise and copious amounts of takeaways. I have just subscribed to the Freeletics Gym (not body weight or running versions…

Freeletics Gym. I am on my 3rd week and its great. I pay for the coaching (£25 GBP) for 12 weeks. I have tried the Freeletics Bodyweight app and that is also fantastic but 1) I like the thought of being able to go for a swim and jacuzzi after the gym and 2) the amount of burpees wasn't agreeing with my dodgy knee that I…

1.5 mile in under 12.30 should be a bimble for a 21 year old. I was never a runner, it was always my weakness and I was one of the slower ones in my platoon in army training (back in 2002), and I was still getting 1.5mile in around 9 min 30 sec. 12.30 was the minimum for females if I remember right. British Army standard…

This should answer your question https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bz3AG-oCXTE

Scales are for big people who need to get down to a healthy weight. Once a healthy weight is achieved, concentrate on inches, bodyfat % and body composition instead. Say to yourself "I dont care what weight I am as long as I achieve xx% bodyfat".

I keep posting these videos as replies on here as I find them so informative. The first one is regarding his "Evolution Breakfast" which can be seen here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ffjC7N1PSI&list=UUxUqBcX8-LoJzQokJIIST_Q The second is regarding macros, water intake, carb intake etc which can be seen here:…

Informative video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M_4_ulozA0&list=UUxUqBcX8-LoJzQokJIIST_Q

I havent trained here for a while due to working abroad a lot. But his advice is second to none. Could be worth trying what he says about certain foods and seeing how you get on.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9M_4_ulozA0 He has loads of videos with plenty advice.

I bought a Horizon Oxford II rower off eBay for £75. I rate it above the Concept 2's that I have used. Pivoting foot rests, heart rate monitor sensor, more comfortable seat etc. Have a look for one and see what they are going for. <EDITED> Here is one…
