  • no unfortunately you cant unless you happen to have a heated room in your house haha. but if you like yoga you should try find a hot yoga studio near you as it combines yoga in a heated room to make it a workout as well and your way more flexible when your heated up. warning though you will sweat like anything!

  • Im an open water swimmer based in NZ so the climate lets me occasionally swim in the sea for my trainings but the best thing i ever brought was a swim mp3 player, they-re pretty cheap and really helped me get through some long sessions! although you dont want to rely on them as otherwise you start losing your technique

  • Hi, cool to hear you used to swim! Im a competitive swimmer (still trucking along) from New Zealand and havent found any swimmers/ex swimmers on here yet. Only 19 but started competing at 6 so been competing for the last 13 years. do you miss it much or was it a happy retirement? =)

  • What time do you work out? That makes a difference for me. If it's 5:30 a.m. or 6:00 p.m. [/quote] hey i work out at 4 so i try eat about half an hour before training so im not hungry at the start. Also the idea of egg whites sounds really good thanks!!
