Press ups are really hard for women because we're built slightly differently, but I'm hoping bootcamp will improve my core body strength and allow me to develop my press ups :)

Jemhh! Thank you So much for that info! Lots to read there thank you :) I will look over those links and build myself up a weights programme to use at the gym :) I already do spin, bootcamp, cycling 7miles daily etc etc. i use the pool because I use the sauna, I can't see fitting swimming more into my routine than I…

Yes I do a bit of swimming after my sessions, try and do 20mins sauna/swim at least twice

I love my Fitbit charge. I won't be replacing it until they come out with one I can use underwater

For me, it's near on impossible for me to lose weight on training days. On training days I want to feel nourished, to eat whatever the hell I want to keep my mind alert and my body going. Up until a few weeks ago I was working out between 2-4 hours 6 days a week on top of a pretty exhausting daily routine and active work…

Slim fast is not great, if you want to replace meals with shakes, it's best to make up your own with protein and whatnot

I find it harder to diet when I'm training. If I eat at a decficit then train I feel crappy. So I've cut down the training, I eat 1 meal 3 times a week and then eat at maintenance the rest of the time. Means I can train hard and still lose weight.

Absolutely contribute, not in retaliation of their posts but just as you answering the question unconnected :-)

Yes that is a bit of a glitch isn't it. I'm used to it now though and really enjoy the combination of the two :-) The Fitbit has totally inspired me to do better with my eating. I train so much and burn a lot of calories but the Fitbit and MFP show me how important regulating my food is... It's so helpful I've lost 2.5kgs…

I managed to work it out, I needed to change the 'steps' on MFP to sync with the FitBit (which I thought would happen automatically) it has increased my steps but given me less calories to use (?) but that's okay, I can work with that. I just need to eat less, which will be really quite hard!

No I've not chosen a food plan in Fitbit It's all very confusing :-) I think I'll just go with what MFP says from importing from Fitbit (if it's doing that) though I would love to know how to make it work out my steps from Fitbit rather than from iPhone

I don't input my food into Fitbit as per the MFP instructions :-)

MFP seems to be basing its 'step count' on my iPhone steps? Which is also annoying. I'll get that data now, cheers

Thanks, this is the plan :-)

I'm not really interested in debates around IF, it has worked for me in the past and I would like to use it again. I think by all accounts a protein shake before or after heavy training is acceptable

I am 5'6 and 90kgs I've had great successes with 5:2 but havent been doing this for some time am planning on starting warrior diet tomorrow, I train a lot Mondays PT session + spin session + 2hr MMA session and 7 mile school run Tuesdays weights session and lots of cycling Wednesdays spin and MMA Thursdays active rest…

I typed my work-out schedule in the IF forum so I will copy it here, I think from what I've gathered, Having a whey-based shake before or after a work out is acceptable

I actually think that diet fads are responsible for quite a lot of my weight! They do you no favours in the long run. I have a new friend who is a Cambridge diet consultant and she drives me up the wall!

Yeah it's not the protein, I have been on a high protein diet for months and not had this problem, it's definitely the broccoli! I'm an assistant sports coach so my boss is my coach/trainer/mentor/friend. I do whatever he tells me to do basically because the man is a legend!

I do my daily abs and core work out at home, 50 crunchies 15 press ups 1min plank 30sec side plank 1min bridge plank side plank press ups bridge crunchies press ups standing plank 2min bridge and then a final 50 crunchies But I've just discovered the joy of the burpees so I've decided that I will incorporate 3x 20 of those…

I've found a 33min killah session gonna give it a bash tomorrow morning

anyone have any suggestions?

Well I think you do have to be careful about calories still, I don't log very often but then I don't really have the time! I think once mum has gone I will try the following diet Am - coffee with milk, protein shake, 1 x MRP - Lunchtime steak broccoli, MRP. - Usual family dinner (usually have spag Bol or stew or something)…

Between 1800-2500 depending on how hungry I am

2 hours consists of; 4x3mins skipping + 1min breaks inbetween (19minutes) Stretch and warm up (12mins) Shadow boxing x3 rounds (12mins) Bag work and/or sparring Pad work Abs Cool down Cycle home. I absolutely agree the issue is too little food generally rather than too much. My mum is here for a few days so having a little…

Hi, I should explain that I have to be at the gym so much because I am a boxing coach. It is my job to be at the gym! I coach 5-7 hours a week and work out 8-10 hours a week, depending on my routine and time schedules.

Yay t! You go for it buddy, food is fuel :-)

As someone who has lost huge amounts of weight (50kgs nearly I don't know what that is in pounds) and still has a good way to go, I can only say to you that you NEE(D to find something that you love. Its just like romance, it only works with what is perfect for you. For me it is boxing. I box 2 hours a day, every day apart…
