Hey there, im back here again, after just doing what I wanted for about a year! Hasnt done me much good! Havent put on too much, as im not that big anyway, but have lost focus both at gym and diet. Im 44, 45 in Oct. I have def felt lack of energy recently, but not sure whether it is bad food, lack of sleep or age. Surely…

I would not recommend taking pre-workout for cardio! I sometimes take it for lifting, but once I took it before a spin class and wish i hadnt. I actually had to stop half way through, cause my heart kept stopping and starting, or so it felt. Was awful.

hah Im back too, after about a year of doing what I want, didnt really get anywhere, and ate whatever, but now need structure again. Nothing wrong with that :)

stay consistent!!

yes its a jim stoppini (?) from bodybuilding.com

i wouldnt take the title to heart! its not a quick fix. just something to try thats all.

I did that a few years ago, was very good and worked, but very hard!!

hi, im from London/Kent, not too active on here now, just lerking!

Do you need to warm up first or can you just stretch straight away? thanks

Bump please

I dont really have much time in my lunch hour to do stretching plus my routine. Can i do the stretching at home and also do I have to warm up my muscles first before i stretch or can I just go straight into it? ta

I sooo wished to go this year, but will have to wait until next year :(

Yes me too, I keep going back and looking each time I get an email. I shall not be purchasing :)

I am going to try something called metabolic conditioning. Its a bit more interesting than cardio :)

Havent read through this year and cant remember whether I Have done this post, but will put mine in anyways. https://www.fitbit.com/user/32JXDD had mine since xmas, love all the graphs and stuff, especially the sleep one. I have a sitting job too, but do walk quite a bit. Be good to start challenges. :)

thank you. I shall check it out and see what happens.

Ok ta. Just getting used to it. Liking it so far :)

How do you enable the negative calories? I have connected to here. Thanks

Got mine for Xmas and wearing now. Still eating bad but getting used to wearing it now and seeing what it does. Interested in the sleep part. Will find out tomorrow :)

yes im exactly the same. there is no way I will step on stage, too embarrassing for me, but want to look nice and muscly :smile:

I am a member of one in London and I love it. Feel really comfortable in there too. New equipment 4 months after I joined and get on well with both people who work and don't work there. Been goin lunchtime, and after work as well so must b good :)

:( dana came 2nd!! Kai to win please

Bump for iPod

I have just started my first proper bulk too. I want to get bigger and am looking forward to it too. I'm very early days (4 weeks) and goin until January for now to see how I get on. It's not long but will reassess when I get there

I'm 5 2 and :39, eating 2000 at the mo. Hoping to add again soon :)

Yes I have done this. Cooked oats for couple mins then added egg whites. 1 more min in micro. It gets all fluffy textured. Add peanut butter. Yum

I was really self conscious in the gym at first, although I knew what to do as I do it at home. Always the intimidation thing. But then I found a gym I am really comfortable in, all the people so nice it's makes all the difference. I am normally the only girl in the weight room but all the blokes are doin there own thing.…

Hah I have the same prob while spinning too! I have to blow my nose beforehand but still doesn't make any difference. I tried antihistamine but that didn't work. Other than sticking tissue up nostrils not sure wot to do :)

I plan to do this at lunchtime once a month at the gym for pure relaxation after 4/5 days there a week and working out at home :)

Hi I had it last September. Hope your not hurting too much! Just be careful you don't want to over do it. Listen to what the doc tells you. I got back to proper training probably just after 8 weeks I think. I didn't do much before that to be honest. I looked after it because I didn't want to pull the stitches inside. Just…
