Really not liking the new LesMills releases...
I normally love these classes but since the new release's the only one I've enjoyed is GRIT cardio.

Does it have an affect??
Does alcohol have an effect on your weightloss even if youve included it within your daily calorie intake?

Its not really effecting my weightloss…

How do I sprint....
I know this sounds silly but I've never sprinted before and today as theres no Kettlebell Class on at the gym I was going to do some sprinting intervals but how do I do them? Do I just run as fast as my legs will take me for say 20 seconds then rest 30 seconds etc. :-(

Hi everyone I currently see a PT twice a week for 30 minutes, I know 30 minutes doesn't sound a lot but I work hard and 30 minutes is all I can afford.

Wahooo, I ran my first ever 5k...
And I felt EPIC! I hate running, I've tried to enjoy it numerous lengthy times with my husband, I tried treadmill and outside running but just loathed it. The thing I hated most about it was always catching my "second breath" (lack of controlled breathing) and just feeling weak whilst running. Last Summer I tried once more…

Why is this and IS it something I should correct now? When I do workout which involves glute squeezes etc I always make…

Hand grip when lifting...Ouch
Hi all I had 8x PT sessions before Xmas and we started doing the stiff legged deadlift (although from the numerous videos I've watched its more like the American Deadlift - is there much difference? Anyhow!) I got to weight 45kg which I loved except my hands hurt and I felt my grip was failing me, like my fingers literally…
