No Have you ever copied a tv stunt and put yourself in hospital?

This is why I've swapped Salami, Cheese, Ginsters, Coke, Crisps, Popcorn, etc for eggs, fruit and water in most cases.

I just looked at the nerdfitness vids and they are the sort of thing I'm wanting to do at home but I need to work up to them. They don't look too dissimilar to what I'm doing now except that it doesn't have intervals. The thing I'm doing so far is intervals including half push ups, planking, crunches, lunges, etc.

Reducing the calories is my way of trying to lose weight really. The cardio like running and keep fit videos are really to try and get my heart rate up to increase some fitness. This strength fitness is intriguing though and I'll have a look but I don't know where to start. A major issue I have is that I really need to do…

Thanks :) What sort of resistance/weight training helps?

I'm hoping the same happens for me :) The blood pressure place aren't really helpful so I'm trying to do it myself. I'm just below hypertension so I'm only on the watch list for now but I'd like to get off that and feel healthier too.

I've just looked at my graph and the first 2 intervals where I struggled a bit was near to 10kph/6mph. I then slowed to about 8.5kph/5mph and this was easier. Walking sections were about 6kph/3mph. Defnitely helped slowing down so I'll set my app's intervals to about 5-6mph so I stay in a good range. Average pace was…

I'm not actually using the c25k app. I've programmed the intervals into runtastic pro so I can have the gps, graphs and vocal speed feedback while running. I've not actually considered strength/weights yet.

Thanks. This is an interval keep fit type video but without jumping because I found things like that a bit much to ease in. It's a challenge to do each day but I like that I'm doing something each day to get my heart rate up. Ok. That's good. Just to clarify, my cardio isn't to lose weight but to get my heart rate up and…
