  • Reddit lurker here.
  • I find working out at home easier than going to the gym as my nearest gym is miles away and takes ages to get there. I'm more likely to workout as it's less hassle and less wasted time getting to the exercise. It'd be different if I was doing a team sport or something similar with friends, then I'd have that incentive to…
  • I take a good multi vitamin (ADAMs Mens Multi) twice a day, XTEND recovery drink before and during each work out, and drink at least one protein shake a day, Nutrisport P90. XTEND is really tasty and helps my recovery times by aiding absorption of my protein shake. The P90 is one of the highest protein to portion size…
  • Insanity if you want to push yourself, lots and lots of cardio. Turbo fire is another great choice as well.
  • There is a youtube channel? I didn't know that, off to youtube I go!
  • As the marriage ceremony means nothing to neither of us, for us it'd just be an expensive day with some friends and relatives that proves or changes nothing. We've discussed this many times and frankly large expensive wedding ceremony's disgust both of us as its so far from what a wedding should be. Doesn't mean that the…
  • I have all that with my partner of the last 18 years and we aren't married. We've lived together for 17 years in our own house, had kids for 10 years and always worked to a shared purpose. Marriage wouldn't change that or make it any different. Likewise marriage won't add commitment or a shared purpose that isn't already…
  • I really don't see the big deal with marriage if you are not religious, are you really saying that before you get married you would cheat and generally act disrespectfully to a long term partner? Is being married somehow going to make you a better person? You should be treating your partner with respect the moment you…
  • People who ask questions that were answered in the email they are replying to, so fricken lazy not reading the email I spent good time writing. Generic example: My Email: There are five puppies for sale. Their Next Email: How many puppies are for sale? People who push in front of you when standing in a crowd watching a…
  • My dog usually wakes me up at 5am ish for a walk, a quick 30 minute walk with the dog usually gets me ready to workout. The dog is too instant to let me lie in unless I'm very tired. Days I go into the office I have to leave at 6am, so I workout only in the evening when I'm in the office, no way I'm getting up at 4am to…
  • Mine is not a bad gift story but a lack of gifts. The in laws never buy me any presents, this I don't mind on my birthday as I simply don't see them around this point, but for Christmas it's always been awkward as they buy presents for my wife, the kids, each other, and anybody else present on the day (such as my Mom) so…

  • Anybody picked up MtG 2012 for the 360?
  • P90x Kenpo X+ is the most fun, I get the best results from P90x Shoulders & Arms, but it's a total killer.
  • Two fold, see how hard you are working so you know if you are being lazy, and to accurately track your calorie burn. If you are cutting the amount of calories you eat you need to eat back any extra deficit that you are below your target due to the exercise.
  • About 18 years ago at a part time job we both did while at Uni. She was going out with somebody else (a real scum bag) at the time so I had to wait a while before she'd broke up with him, got over him and then I made my move. Still loving every minute of it as she is such an amazing person, so pretty and my best friend.
  • Dumbbells or bands would be top of my list, bands are a great alternative to dumbbells. A Heart Rate Monitor would also rate pretty high for me. Rather than getting a Yoga mat I'd look at getting a padded exercise machine mat, I have one and its 6' by 4', gives me much more room to work out and the same level of…
  • I'm doing a Doubles Hybrid of P90x Weights/Yoga and the Cardio from Insanity. The Insanity Cardio is a big step up from the P90x workouts, it's not impossible but it does require that you give 100%, I typically work in the anaerobic zone for 55 to 60% of the workout, P90X Plyo has me at about half that. If you can make it…
  • I love working out to Girl Talk as well, I'm bouncing off the ceiling for my favourite parts. Heart Rate Monitor works the best for me, there is no hiding place if your heart rate isn't in it's target zone. When mine isn't high enough I just start cussing myself.
  • Not sure if it's just me, but she looks airbrushed to death in that picture.
  • A tank/muscle top, and short shorts.
  • I eat all of mine back, have been doing so since Feb, and lose weight. I plateau now and again but an increase in exercise intensity seems to shift it. Way I look at it is that I've cut my base calorie intake for the day a lot already (down to about 1400 from about 2400) as I aim to lose 2lb a week, I don't want to go any…
  • Sports Tracker also takes into account elevation. Also have you set your weight correctly in your application? Sports Tracker defaults to 40kg, and somebody weighing that much would burn a lot less than me.
  • Looking at the pictures I have set my ultimate target goal at 10% or less correctly. I am currently at about 22% fat, I was 35% fat when I started losing weight. Once I've got to my ultimate target weight I'm then planning on adding back 10 to 15 lbs of muscle, I'm building some now but not at the rate I can when I stop…
  • I'm similar, except I use an Android phone (Galaxy S II), Sport Tracker to track Heart Rate/route and Double twist to wirelessly sync my music. No need to carry separate devices.

  • 38 lbs down since end of February, 51 lbs to go.
  • If you get a bluetooth heart rate monitor then you can hook it up to your phone and have Endomondo track it for you.
  • I like weight training and Insanity Plyo (lots of jumping around). What about taking up a new hobby such as rowing or cycling if you get bored easy, or join a running club?
