I've just been doing compound lifts, so: Squats Deadlifts Bench press Bent over rows Overhead press

Yes I'm in the UK where I have been running in the fields behind my house where I rarely see another person in the distance let alone near by. Would it be better to alternate weights and cardio on a 7 day cycle? Eg Run Weights Boxing Weights Run Weights Rest on day 7 Or Run Weights Boxing Weights Rest on day 5 then repeat…

Hi guys. Thinking of signing up for SSS. Wondering what people's results are like ?

Fat loss and lean muscle

Currently macros are set at 110g a day, but I struggle to meet it without consuming too much fat and calories

Hi, I'm trying to shed fat , with a longer term goal of building muscle

I do have a fitbit, but as estimates based on heart rate it doesn't calculate calories for weight sessions, only steps and cardio. Also works out daily burn, so I end up with allowance of 2000c one day and only 1400 on rest day. Different calories each day mean that I'm stuffed one day and starving another.

Not exactly the same no. I pick 3 exercises per muscle per week and do one of them each workout.

Gave it a go this morning. Managed much better than I expected to. Think to start with I might try 2 heavy full body and 1 lighter such as a body pump class . Thanks for the advice

Hmm didn't think of that. I assumed I shouldn't train a part until not sore. I just looked up some full body workouts. I completely misunderstood what they were. I assumed meant spending hours training every muscle each time, but am I correct in thinking it just means doing one exercise per muscle group each day ? That…

I've just been really sore this week. I'm open to giving anything a go really. Just need to find a programme to follow that I can stick to

Hmm. Interesting. At the moment I'm working each muscle group twice a week, with a 3 day split plus one full body a week with lighter weights. I'm worried that trying to do a full body workout every time would make me too sore and be very time consuming. Wouldn't even really know where to start.

So, do you think my current routine will be effective?

I've been doing 3 cardio days with a push/pull/legs 3 day split. Plus a body pump class. So each muscle group is hit from all angles once a week heavy (for me anyway) low rep, plus once a week light weight high rep. Been doing pump classes for couple years and have small muscle, but under fat. Only definition is in my…

That's why I'm alternating weights with cardio, and being careful with nutrition. How could I work a full body and still be able to do the cardio without them interfering with each other too much?

I'm doing a 3 day split so that I can also add 3 cArdio days and a rest day . Goal is to lose fat. I have built some muscle ovr last couple of years but its under too much fat. Only place can see any definition bus upper back and traps.

What is skinny fat?

Pretty much anything I read online that isn't by Les Mills states lifting heavy is better for building muscle and boosting metabolism. My goals are to continue to lose fat whilst building muscle. I enjoy classes, and would like to still do one a week.

Never lol. I weight train 3 times a week and the soreness is always present, it just dissipates slowly, just in time to do another session lol. I always do a warm up to get my muscles prepared for what's ahead. I never weight train 2 days in a row as recovery is crucial for muscles to repair. I also take a yoga class and a…

same thing happens to me. I am way under on workout days, but starving on non workout days. I put it down to having gotten used to a certain amount of food on workout days, plus muscles repairing. I tend to save some of my exercise calories for non workout days, so that by the end of the week all averages out. For example,…

Mine was mucking about like this for a while. I did a hard reset and deleted and reinstalled app, and all good now.

I do 3 x one hour group sessions each per week of cardio classes and weights spread over 4 days. On weekends I walk with my dog or swim. Try to have 1 or 2 rest days per week.

All apart from the runny nose and cough

Really fed up with it , as stopping me from tracking properly. Not done this in the 6 months I've been using Fitbit. It gives me extra calories, I eat them, then it takes them away again

Scales at gym

I'm in a similar situation to yourself. My BMI puts me a few points off of obese. However, my Body fat % is 35, and should be max 30, which i dont think is too bad considering what i used to weigh.I have lost over 4 stone, workout 5/6 days a week, including regular weight training. I have gone from a Uk size 20 to a UK…

Yeah, meant over by 10, not to 10 lol. 1% a month sounds realistic. I just want something to gauge not being fat anymore by really

I know it will take a long time, and the numbers will move slowly, but focusing on lower numbers makes me feel better

Sorry for typos, I don't eat clothes lol, meant calories
