Hey ladies, question. I want to get my knee checked out but trying to decide between a physiotherapist or an osteopath. . What do you think is better? I've never been to an osteopath. I posted this on another board but looking for more feedback

this is exactly what I NEEDED to hear for myself, so thank you. I came on hear looking for injury posts and this is perfect. I hurt my knee on saturday, twisted it in thai boxing and I've been sulking since ( today is tuesday) cos I haven't been able to exercise. It's actually starting to feel better but just it wobbles…

can someone fill me on about this? what does it involve? thanks

what is this??? is it a free workout or something you have to get on DVD??

Unfortunately newbie made…

Thank you !! I do Thai boxing about 4 days a week ( 1 hour class) and even in the short time I've been doing SL I've noticed a difference. . Stronger, balance is a bit better. But I do need to sort out my calories etc. Question, what ratios do you all use for protein, carbs and fat? And what calorie calculator do you think…

What about water, are you drinking enough? How is your iron intake??

Week 3 Today is Monday, workout A Squats - 40 kg/88 lbs Bench - 1 x bar only 20kg/44 lbs then 4 x 25kgs/55 lbs Row - 20 kg/44lbs ( I used a lighter bar and added on the weights , I need to work on form so that's why I'm using a lighter weight) Did some lunges and hip hikes in between sets, finished off with some push ups

I also do Muay Thai ! I log as Judo, karate, kick boxing, tae kwan do However I don't eat back my calories so I just put calories burnt as1

bump !

agree with stronglifts... there is even a group here called stronglifts 5x5 for woman !

alpine tea helped me but have this at night because in the morning..... you will need the toilet.. if you get what I mean.

Just wanna say... really like the support in this group just from reading through the posts. Makes doing 5x5 even better !

workout A for me on friday. First week done ! friday :smile: Squat 25kg /55lbs Bench press 3 sets at bar only 20 kg / 44lbs and 2 sets at 25kg / 55lbs Row 5 sets at 25kg / 55lbs Oh my I am getting into this !

yay thanks ! :lol:

bumping this what other things do you all like to put? I want to make some of these to take to work for breakfast

thanks for the response all ! I will stick to SL and in the off days do some core work Today was my first day on workout B Holy carp. Overhead press was SO HARD ! I just did the bar ( 20kg) and it was a struggle. Might stick to bar again next time. Did anyone else struggle with this at first? Deadlifts at a total of 40kg…

also adding zuzkalight and blogilates fitnessblender is great !

So this morning was my first 5x5 workout !! Think my shoulders are gonna ache later lol I notice a lot of you do other workouts after the 5x5, is this recommended? How do you choose/know what exercises to do ?? On the off days in between 5x5 I will work on core exercises. thanks!

maybe you are low on Iron ? speak to your doc before taking any iron medication
