I have done C25K, done triathlons, done fun runs - still hate running :) I can put up with treadmill jogging - almost "having fun" sometimes :) I guess some are born runners some are not - but it doesnt mean I shall not run :) I just dont "gravitate" towards that type of exercise - there are heaps of other things to chose…

i love rowing! both on water and indoors....excellent cardio exercise and great way of toning muscles! indoors I usually do it as a warm-up 3x500m or 2000m in one go...but I dont have patience to do it slow :) I use a concept2 and usually do 32spm and get 500m done in 2:07 or so.....after a 1500 I am usually tired enough…

I havent had a chance to do a C25K for about 14days now..Reason is: life got in the way. I did however complete a mini tri which had a 2KM run leg....the most I ever attempted to run..I used the technique learnt from C25K programme - ran in intervalls: 60sec jog, 60sec walk...and was over the moon for finishing! Now time…

on most occasions I am just riding - but when I am training for a tri then I train ....I am also planning to do a big distance ride later on the year (either 50 or 90kms - havent decided yet) and will start training for that after June :)

Apologies fellow Trim Taut and Terrific Aussies (and of course Kiwis) for not logging in the last 2 weeks but I was busy... I did a triathlon on Australia Day a MEDIUM Distance for the first time (I have done 3 short ones last year) and I managed to jog 2KMs - personal best :) in terms of distance..time it took - not that…

I would go with the numbers you get from your HRM - in my experience the exercise cal burnt numbers on MFP are overestimated...Your HRM gives a number for your effort - the numbers on MFP are an aggregate or someone who might be a completely different body type , fitness etc to you created an exercise- it is not accurate...

I love TRX at my gym...I usually do squats and lounges and some body pull ups..love it love it.. :)

I have timex triathlon watch and it has capacity to store 30laps...I just press the start when I start my first stroke...helps me monitor how long I have been swimming for .)

I do a lot for rowing, low row, low back weights, BodyPump classes, I carry shoping bags and nothing has helped to get rid of my bat wigs. I have built nice biceps and triceps but there is no muscle to build on the bottom of your arm..all the muscles are on the top or on the side...- once the fat is gone there loose skin…

I did W6D1 today morning 10JOG at 7.7 on the treadmill was fine and I beat my personal best in runnig 1000metres in 6.5 minutes and 1500m in the 1st 10mins...then I used my 5min "walk time" to do some leg curls and stretching and went back to the 2nd 10mins which was not easy. I did 5min jog at 7.6 then had to walk 1min…

or you wear shorts :) or tight long pants :)

I hate carrying anything with me for an open water swim...I usually wear either a tri watch which does the time measurement only or my HRM which unfortunately doesnt like salt water (ocean swims) so it stops halfway ....so I just acknowledge the distance I swam. If I am doing an event then I know the length of the course I…

I only lost 1kg since the start BUT I am happy with that especially as I am over the moon about the fact that even thought I have a BMI of 31 - I completed my 3rd triathlon on Sunday...I am a high on all week :)

This is going to be the bike I am going to get this year :)

my gym has vibration plates and has classes for them as well....those classes are hard..I wear my HRM and burn 400 cal in 45mins! I also use the plates after a spinning class for massage...they can be good but I wouldnt put my ENTIRE exercise regime on those plates..

I did a triathlon over the weekend. I didnt bring my own bike as the tri was held interstate and I didnt want to worry about the hussle of transporting a bike with the airlines...I rented one from a local bike store. And they fixed me up with an awesome 6061 flat bar road bike. It was an awesome ride! The bike was soo…

I managed to do W5D3 as 8R, 5W, 3R, 1W, 4R I dont think I will make it through W6D1 next week - I was not born a runner...running 10mins nonstop is hard...let alone TWICE! but I will give it a try.. I am already running WAY BETTER than I used to...I remember running 500metres nonstop for the 1st time in my life in October!…

thanks...already done that....moved down from 7.8 to 7.4.....7.4 feels "weird" - my legs "want to go a tiny bit faster"...If I go down to 7 I am power walking instead of jogging :(

I am stuck on W5D3....Even getting through that 8R is hard enough -I do have to stop and take a breathing break for about 20secs after 5mins..but then can carry on..I have no clue how I am ever going to get myself to W6D1 which 10MIN RUN in 1 go....I get bored at around 5-6mins..anyone any recommendations? much appreciated

I am not vegetarian. I eat meat. but industrial processed milk has ran havoc with my hormones and after years of trying to figure out when my dietitian recommended reducing my milk intake from 1 glass a day to 1 a week MOST of my hormone issues started to go away I am not agains milk intake - I am just flagging that there…

Milk -factory processed milk that is - is not good for all. Aside from those who have problem with digesting diary products MOST of the factory processed milk has EXTRA amounts of hormones in it. Ever wondered how come those cows can give sooooo much milk every single day?? Their food is pumped with hormones to increase…

rowing is low impact but high intensity :)

omg...thank you for fixing it up for me! much much appreciated :)

doesnt work for me...

My cycling goal for 2014 is to complete the "Gong" charity ride in October. It is in support of MS and goes from Sydney to Wollongong (South of Sydney). The short course is 58km, whilst the long course is 90km. I am new to distance cycling and "new" to cycling as well ( I couldnt ride for 7years AT ALL!) so I am aiming low…

I have 2 - 1 here with me in Sydney and 1 in Europe at my parent's place The one in the garage in Europe is a "no-name" MTB The one I use 4-5x a week here in Sydney is a Giant Liv Cypress 2013 DX Hybrid -SHINY SILVER COLOUR :) I usually rent a bike for my triathlons - in most cases it is some kind of a Giant Roadbike…

I would go with B - restart the C25K on the ground....that is what I am doing right now and the difference between running on the ground and on the treadmill is huge.... running on treadmill is much much easier for me...
