  • So glad I found Mfp cos neither WW or JC would accept me as I have a medical condition, so they can stick it! Was so angry but now I'm happy with weight loss and still have my $$!

Injury wise I have heard you can get tight IT band syndrome which is a tendon at the side of your knee which gets inflamed during repetitive excercises so now I know to ice it and massage it after work out and stretch…

  • Its ground up Linseed, Sunflower seed and almonds and you can buy it in a bag $4 ish from BIN INN (NZ) or healtheries make it too. It thickens it up good, and you can add it to smoothies with banana n milk- yum! Lol and if i didnt have a bowel condition I would probably say it keeps you regular to hehe.

  • YES YES and YES!! Down here in NZ you get fried really quickly but when I was in Europe I got sunburnt quite badly even with sunscreen so the northern hemisphere is getting higher UV exposure. I use Neutrogena factor 70 on body and factor 100 on my face as Im on a drug that makes you burn easily. NZ has a high rate of…

  • Yeah i agree with you, I used to go to gym 6 day a week WITH a personal trainer but never got the results I wanted, now Ive lost 6kg since feb, toning up nicely and it is achieveable, sustainable and you can eat more but burn it off before bed is my mantra! All the best with your goals.

  • I do my HIIT workout on the exerbike and keep my hands on its sensors, do this also when I pedal up off the seat so that it can accurately track my calories. I just copy 20 min of spin RPM classes that I have done, and put the stereo on loud!
    in How do you log your HIIT? Comment by nursekj May 2011
  • Think Cardio, resistance and a touch of pilates, Its a great all over work out. When you think about it we generally have stronger legs from all the walking we do but by doing freestyle you are building your upper body strength. It improves your lung capacity too. So try some hand paddles, leg floats and some fins to do…
