It was amazing - I laughed so much, i didnt need motivation as it was just so amazing - i love it

Its 5hrs of high impact dance aerobics in aid of cancer reasearch. Im doing it with around 250 other people.

Yeh i guess im just a bit impatient as i was losing at such a rate. Its nice to have the reassurance. I never used to like weighing myself but when doing this it shows you are progressing. I weigh myself every 3 or 4 days. And im losing lets say 0.1 kgs at a time. I know i should probs weigh myself every week but I was…

Feel free to add me!

Ok cool, thanks for the info

Thanks for that - do you think you just ran out of food fuel in the end? Will you try and eat back all the exercise calories or just do you normal thing?

Sounds good

Do you cook them? How many calories is that?

Are we twins!!!!

Ive only been on here a week and Ive heard this alot. It is confusing so i decided to put it to a mega trial. On monday I ate healthily all day - cereal, salad etc and pretty much used approx my 1400 cals - then i went to a high impact aerobics class. My teacher said "youve worked hard, you can go and eat a pizza now. So i…

Thanks for that - i'll see if i can locate them and give them a try

Its a five hour aerobathon. Ive tried lucozade for a two hour aerobathon and plenty of water but just wondered if there was a "best" one to have. It seems like the points of view are mixed tonight

Cool thanks

Anyone with any other experience or ideas?

Not heard of that one - is it like a powder you dissolve in water?

Never heard of that. Can you get it from supermarkets or is it a health shop thing?

Well yes. I must admit im not a great fan of some of the powerade flavours but if needs must. I like redbull but i heard because it has a high amount of caffeine in it , it can really dehydrate you body?

Yes card - the websites are a good read and have good info - let me have any tips that you pick up when youve done your event. Ive done plenty of 2 hour events but never a 5hr before so im nervous that I can eat and drink the right stuff so i survive!!!

Thanks trail_rnr - that website is quite deep but brings up some useful info on hydration which i really needed to know about. I dont think I do drink enough before this type of exercise so I need to change my routine.

Thanks eleslie1989, the website is really useful. I can now get thinking of which lovely carbs I can eat for breakfast. We start at 11am so if i get up early i should have plenty of time to eat before the event and hydrate myself suficiently.

Thanks everyone! That is really useful. Thanks for the useful websites too. When i signed up for it i was only thinking about the exercise and training for that. I then realised that my food intake would be really important. Any other comments would be gratefully received.

Bumping for any ideas!

Shock absorber for me - they go from A cup to HH!!!!! Figleaves or amazon are reasonably priced i find £20+.
