Go slow - then go slower!!! Kind of like running at walking pace. Pretend you're holding an egg between your thumb and forefinger so you don't clench your fists and don't clench your teeth!!!

I did the 30 day shred and it wasn't until the third week that things started to change on the scales. I remember asking others about it and lots of people had the same - third week! The main aim is to look and feel better - stronger, lean muscles are heavier for the volume they occupy than fat, so you may weigh slightly…

The 1200 calories INCLUDES the deficit - you don't need to eat less than that. I agree with the others that you may need to eat more to get moving. When you take your dogs, does it get your heart rate up? If it doesn't, try walking a bit faster, or walk faster for five minutes and slower for five minutes.

Why don't you try eating five meals a day - every three-four hours - and only eating protein and salad/veg. Palm-sized portion of protein and two palm-sized portions of salad/veg. Works for me and easy to do.

I use that too Sam and have never had any problems with it. Fast delivery too!

I'm in!!

Go slower!!!! You're trying to run too fast - your body needs time to adjust!!! Go slower and build the time and then gradually build the speed

And you can start it today if you want as it's on YouTube!!!

Ask for a review at the gym - at mine, we can request a review every six weeks and you can have one more often if you're looking at something different like free weights. I try and change it around all the time - different lengths of time, different speeds, even changing the days throws your body away from what it's…

Well done! Keep at it - it can be so addictive can't it!

I'm in!

Strange isn't it that the study's by a man! Research by the University of Portsmouth (UK) shows that breasts can move 8inches (yes, that's 8 inches) when doing high impact exercise and that this is reduced significantly by a good supportive bra. I, for one, wouldn't want mine to be swinging in 8 inch circles when I was…

It is difficult to start, but it soon becomes a habit and then you get cross with yourself when you don't do it!!

You could try to see if you can eat cold veg! Sounds disgusting I know, but some is OK - broccoli and cauliflower for example - and you can just have that with your protein. What about boiled eggs? I'm a student too and I take nuts and/or seeds, carrot sticks/celery sticks/cucumber sticks with a small pot of humus, fruit…

South Yorkshire between Doncaster and Rotherham!!

Shock Absorber!! They also do specific running bras as well as high impact sports. The running bras are a much snugger fit, with less stretch in the material. I've tried others but come back to them!

If you've got access to the internet then you can get 30 day shred on YouTube for free. There are three levels and you start with level 1. You may have some difficulty with some of the cardio, but there is a modified version of each exercise. If you can't do the modified version, you just keep moving as much as you can.…

I've been looking at it today - so you definitely think it's worth the money? Do you think it's harder than Insanity, about the same, just different?
-
What about Tapout XT? You can get it from amazon
-
You can get 30 day shred for free on YouTube. What about trying a running programme? You shouldn't really be doing cardio and weight training on the same day when you are just starting.

There are loads of things on YouTube. Jillian Michaels has lots of DVDs and people have had a lot of success with them. I've heard people talk about fitnessblender, be-fit - lots of different types of exercises. Just type in the type of thing you're interested in and then go from there!!! There's recently been a thread…

From the reading I've done on here, heavy lifting tends to be free weights as it uses more muscles to stAbilise your body. I'm sure people will come and tell you what to do, but you can search on the forums for beginner heavy lifting, google strong lifts or PM me and I'll try to give you more info

Bruises on the hips from the hula hoop - it's where it's squidging the fat!! Just keep going if it's not painful - it goes away!! I had them on both sides, but they weren't painful. The more you do it, the easier it gets!!

I'm in. Just trying to build up my running, so it will be a lot of a challenge!!

If you look on the concept 2 rowing machine website, they have lots of different training plans for all sorts of people, as well as other information, including form. There is also info about Row Pro, where you can race against other people in the comfort of your own home!!

What about stationery shadow-boxing? Semi-squat position and punch it out. Gentle stretching of your achilles at the same time. I get achilles problems too and I find that I can go on the rower as long as i build into the full stretch carefully (1 mins arms only, 1 min move bottom about an inch forward, 1 min move bottom 3…
