There are conflicting studies both for and against this... I don't have the energy to workout properly if I haven't eaten (therefore burning fewer calories), experiment and find what works for you.

I find an apple or banana works great. The sugars are digested quickly so it can be eaten about 20 min before I workout and light enough that it doesn't upset my stomach.

I have tried a number of PTs in my time but I have only ever had 1 which I thought was worth the money (sadly his visa got revoked!) I have issues with blood pressure and bad joints which means I need to be careful about the intensity/form of what I do and he was really great at accommodating those needs while still making…

Thanks guys... good to know other people can see some change!

Wins my vote!

You will definitely be adding muscle and losing fat. I am in your position... have been lifting weights for about 4 months (barely any cardio) and eating at a deficit and my weight has actually increased by about 1/2lb as well as my measurements remaining almost the same. That said, I have my body composition tested via…

I love reverse crunches on a bench, they really work your lower abs.

It makes me sad that no one got the joke. :-(

I did Muay Thai for a a couple of years and it is definitely a great workout. That said, the level of difficulty will depend on your trainer and how hard they push you. My trainer specialized in fight training and was kind of insane, my first session I nearly threw up within 30 minutes. If you're worried, let them know…

His smoothies don't seem to have enough fibrous greens or protein to…
