Well I can only offer my own personal basis on this, but I do HIIT cardio before and after my weight lifting, so I'll go with it. Personally, I use Grenade .50 Cal as a pre-workout stimulant. 1 serving is about 23g and has a calorific content of 25 calories. If I was doing just cardio, I'd take a half-serving, personally,…

Pre-workout stimulants can range from something like a cup of coffee, through to L Carnitine tablets, all the way though to things like Thermo Detonator or .50 Cal and the like for the heavier lifters. Perfectly fine. Many people however, prefer to take some whey before starting, or BCAAs, or both. Depends on the type of…

Apologies. I should have put a warning. ;)

I prefer my Tug Toner, tbh.

Nice and easy. Feet firmly planted about hip/shoulder width apart (whatever's comfortable). Twist your body from the waist up, to your left as far as it will go without it causing pain. Twist back to the right again as far as it will go. Congrats! One twist complete! ;) That's about it. Personally, I raise my arms to…

300 twists per day, per side. Help develop the obliques. :) It will also pull in the skin around the muscle as the fat disappears. My workout sessions look like this, as an example: 20 mins cardio 150 twists (1 twist is a turn to the left, then to the right) Lifting session 150 twists 20 mins cardio

Nothing does spot-targetting for fat. You just lose it however the body deems you will. You can only spot-target muscle tone, not fat loss I'm afraid. Short of lyposuction, of course! ;)

If anything, I took this month even more seriously. On Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I could be found in the gym. Not sure where I got the motivation from, but I'm glad it hit me. I don't see myself stopping either. :)

Take all the food that makes you want it, and throw it out. Sorry to hear you're having trouble. If it was easy though, everyone would do it. The fact you're here shows you're sincere though. :) But yes, throw out the food you binge on. If it's not there, you can't eat it.

Whenever I'm about to be bumped into, all I do is stop and tense. It's funny watching them carry on thinking I might step away, then realising way too late that I'm not moving, and they slam into, usually, my arm or shoulder, before rebounding backwards. If they're unlucky, it turns into pinball with an aisle or another…

I use the overhand hook grip until it fails me, then I pull out the straps.

I walk to and from the gym at a brisk pace (20 mins each way). That's my cardio. I also do street dance twice a week, so I don't bother with any serious cardio other than that.

The fat in peanut butter is not a bad thing. You need fat. Peanut butter is a great source of fat and protein, and whilst it's an acquired taste (not everyone like it), it's very much like marmite. You either love it or hate it. Personally? Can't get enough of the stuff. It is calorie dense, but it's good calories, and I…

And yet, there was no mention in that item that you should increase or reduce. They simply stated a proper level, and dispelled the myth that salt is bad for you, which seems to go around with people shouting not to take in any salt at all when they are training/dieting. They said nothing more.

It's a supplement. If the person training can get protein in whole food form, it's far more preferable to powder. However, if like me, eating that much in a day just makes you feel ill just from thinking about it, then powders are a god-send. I "eat" 5 times a day. However, 3 of those "meals" are shakes. It works for me…

Damnit Mel, i did not come in here to talk about the topic you're implying! I am disappoint! :)

You may wish to look into DTP, in that case. It's possible to do both, but very difficult and very, very stringent on what you take in.

QFT!

Hate to say it, but this isn't the messiah Nintendo want it to be. I predict a bad outcome for Nintendo on this, if you ask me. They're already struggling recently.

Street dance, 6 hour session preparing for a show last week. Stopping only for water breaks. 5,763 calories.

Haven't missed a day so far! :)

Depends if I'm on a rest day or training day.

It's difficult to show you, simply because you can't quantify how much fat that person has at various stages, or anything else for that matter. Things like the location of the muscle(s) in question, the body fat percentage, the height of the user, the weight. There is no "set picture" or "image".

I'm not a dog. I don't need treats when I do something good. I just get on with it and keep going. The reward is the physical change.

Just count them all and be done with it. Better to overestimate than under...

Why do I succeed? I succeed because I am willing to do the things you are not. I will fight against the odds. I will sacrifice. I am not shackled by fear, insecurity or doubt. I feel those emotions, but I drink them in and then swallow them away. I am motivated by accomplishment, not pride. Pride consumes the weak. If I…

Just make a note of the items you put on your plate, then add each one. Simples! Just tap them into your phone as you eat, if you don't want to make notes?

I weight train anywhere from 3 to 5 days a week. However, even on the rest days, I still do some cardio. Rest days don't have to mean zero exercise. My cardio is strong enough for my heart rate to elevate, but still allows me to hold a full conversation without putting in effort with breathing. I only do it for 20 minutes…

It doesn't matter when you take in your calories; just take them in. As for me, it's dinner, by necessity. I can't really bring food with me easily, so I bring prepared foods to work and eat properly at home.
