Machines will isolate one set of muscles. If you want to tone your tummy, you need to incorporate weights and bodyweight exercises to focus on your abs, core and surrounding muscles (assuming there's not much fat over the top... if you have a layer of fat, do the above but also add cardio a couple of time per week!)... I…

How did it go for all you lovelies who looked at this in May? I just got BOD and am looking at starting the IM30 challenge... would really love support/someone to keep me accountable!

Yep... you a member of any of the gyms here?

Thank's all! Great starting point... I will do some research and work out a new plan from these! In term of the TRX equipment.. it's being fitted in my gym's refurb beginning of December so I imagine they'll have plenty when it arrives. Thanks again! The beefy men can be intimidating to ask at the gym and kinda look at me…

Thanks for your reply Concordancia!... these are dvd's? I don't have space to do home workouts and money is short (just spent £300 for the year gym membership!) Never thought to try press ups at counter or bench height... added to my list if that will help!

I read somewhere that it can take up to a month for your body to respond to a lifestyle change. So, if it's used to eating more and exercising less, it will support that my keeping storage for warmth etc. If it's used to eating well and exercising well, it will adapt but takes time. It's very common for people to not see…

I have this issue whenever my goal is not sufficient. This time around, I will be performing on stage in a few weeks so want to look my best. I have also brought some smaller sized ski sallopettes so if I don't lose it, it won't be able to go skiing this winter! Not to mention... muffin top pics (I have some from a couple…

Where are you based? I'm in the UK and find Sports Direct are great for bargain workout clothes! I have shorts and 3/4 leggins from them for £12-£15. Also... my most comfortable workout tops were from Primark this Summer! Suprising but wonderful!

Hey... I wonder if this post might help you... http://www.oneresult.com/articles/nutrition/nutritional-facts-peanut-butter

Never used one. Never needed one. I guess that depends on your own motivation and need to control. If it helps to control your heart rate to motivate you then sure, great, get one. If not... I don't really see what difference it would make?

Personally I think it's a mixture of reasons... 1. Short term effects - sugar spike 2. Taste Buds 3. Media/Community/Acceptance Of course the short term effect is a sugar spike and our bodies are designed to crave that when they think we are in need of it... especially when we haven't eaten enough and are in need of…

I'm a gym girl... can't deal with the cold so well! I bared it one winter while training for a marathon (I lost a lot of weight that way!... put it back on after though :neutral_face: ) So, make your choice of gym or outdoor but don't accept the excuse of cold to stop you exercising! Also... feeling embarrassed I…

He got scared when I took him to the dungeon

JEEZ! I AM SHOCKED! No. Not at your muffin top... at all these people who don't quite seem to understand.... I have the same muffin top. No your bikini isn't too small (I know)... when you move it you can still see the curve where the muffin top starts. This is just the shape of your body (and mine for that matter...) I…

friedly... although all family are evil secretly.. mwahaha

I pack a gym bag before bed... if im not up in time to go before work, the bags comes to work and I'm not allowed home until I've been... it's been 1 week and starting to become a routine :)
