the first rule of weight lifting is lift as heavy as you can with good form. If your last rep or two in each set is not a struggle the weight is too light....keep adding on each session til you get to somewhere where its a challenge....and dont forget to keep adding weight

as one of my favourite trainers likes to say...Movement is medicine She also adds in together is better but that may be a bit soppy for here ;)

Just one thing - there is no such thing as HIIT at moderate intensity....its either HIIT or its not. But in saying that exercise at moderate intensity is not a bad thing either... If you have a gym membership why not hit up a cardio class for some variety / fun. I LOVE group exercise and some of my best times have been…

Perhaps as well (and I dont mean this in a harsh way) they just assume you should be losing weight because you have mentioned on this board in the past that you do need to lose weight but that the doctor suggested your goal because of your illness for the minute should be to bulk regardless of what your actual weight is?…

I would also suggest you get your technique checked by the instructor just in case....we all think our technique is good but often times it isnt...and minor adjustments can help a lot

there is a balance to be found. If you are exercising more and there increasing the amount of energy expended it can be difficult to do that and not feel ravenous if you have materially reduced you calories. you have to think about whether or not you are eating sufficient calories to fuel your workouts....so eat some of…

While I am all for working hard an effective workout does not have to leave you on the ground feeling like you are about to die all of the time...its some you should build up to. For "newbies" simply being there and moving is brilliant...

liquid chalk is your friend...and PT once told me also to squeeze the bar as hard as i could and kind of roll it into my grip...

I'm a little bit heavier than you and in order for me to reach the 10 calorie a minute my HR needs to be above an average of about 155. A typical hour long spin/RPM class for me would burn in the region of 450-550 calories with peak HR's of 170-180....i.e. working PD hard. Good chance your hour of solo spinning is only…

The most important thing to remember in spin class is always listen to your body. The instructor is there to push everyone to their maximum but dont expect to be able to keep up with the class initially. Don't be afraid to sit down if you need to either. Also - if you are suffering knee pain the first thing I would suggest…

If your knees are hurting don't be doing the planks on your toes. The ONLY place you should be feeling a plank is in your core. If its in your back or your knees it will be much more effective to work from the knees...there is no shame in taking a lower option and performing the move correctly than trying the harder and…

Usually for me that means its time to buy a new strap....I generally go though one a year using it the same amount as you... You could always try giving it a thorough wash and see if that helps?
