Can I do more if I feel I can....
Hey All So I just started getting back into running a couple of weeks ago but due to not wanting to injure myself of course I've really slowed it down (like slower than slow) and I'm thoroughly enjoying it...The past few runs I've managed between 2.3km - 2.7km. I do these runs in the morning but come late afternoon I feel…

Stronglifts question
Hi All I want to try the Stronglifts programme but as I will be working out at home what's the alternative to a Bench Press as I don't have a bench - can this be done lay on the floor? Also am I allowed to add any other exercises in like Hip Thrusts or Glute Bridges?

Feeling positive....
Hi All Today I am feeling positive :-) Just thought I'd share. I posted on here a couple of weeks ago about wanting some advice/support to break my cycle in terms of my eating habits etc. I've just been concentrating on being kind to myself and I've worked out twice this week! A kettlebell workout which lasted 15 minutes…

Needing support/advice
Hi All I really want to get serious about losing this weight but I'm stuck in that cycle of sticking to it for 2-3 days then I eat something "bad" and the whole cycle begins again and again and I'm kinda fedup of it as I've been like this for a good 12 months but I don't quite know how to get myself out of this. I've even…

Cholesterol (the LDL part)....
Hi All I wonder if you could advise on how to lower my Cholesterol following my blood results from the Doctors. Bit of background....I'm 35years, 5ft 3in, 12st (not massively overweight but still overweight), I don't work out as much as I used too (prior to maybe 6 months ago I worked out 3-4x a week) but do walk around…

Resting Heart Rate question
Hi All My resting heart rate according to my fitbit seems to be going up by 1bpm each day and I'm not really sure why as these past two weeks I've made positive changes to my eating and drinking...Monday it was 67, Tues and Weds 68, Thurs 69 and today 70. I know fitness trackers are not 100% accurate but the pattern I…

How do you get the most of out of walking?
Hi All On average I take around 11,500 steps but as I have a desk job the majority of these steps come from the 45 minute walk in the morning to work (home to childs school then from school to work) then 30 minutes walking home after work but how can I get the most out of this walk by turning it into a more intense walk as…

I'm confused....Are Carbs really bad?
OK so I'm confused...I'm one of these people who reads/researches/watches numerous videos etc but is also a sponge and takes things in to much! I became interested in IF about 12 months ago, I read books (Dr Berg, Dr Fung, Dr Mosley etc), watched videos and learnt a whole lot along the way (or so I thought). Just before…

Kettlebell Challenges
Hi All I fancy doing a Kettlebell Challenge and just wondered if anyone know of any I can follow that you have done yourselves. I love Kettlebells and have been doing the Fitness Blender workouts but I'm finding them boring so thought maybe an actual challenge might motivate me more. I currently use 10kg.

Feeling good...
This week I have worked out twice and I am feeling proud - just wanted to share. I have this nasty habit of doing to much, feelings of guilt if I miss a workout, overloading myself with information and then failing which is why I haven't worked out in a few months because I go all out 100% then burnout and do 0%!. This…

Wanting to get back into it....
Hi All I've been out the fitness game for a while and really wanting to get back into it. I'm thinking of starting off with my Kettlebell just to ease myself back in and wondered if anyone follows any good Kettlebell workout videos/programmes that I could try. My goal is just to get back into it :-) and to start off simple…

Working out with sore muscle (or shall I wait)?
Hi All I did a weight session on Wednesday having not done weights for about 4-5 weeks and I'm sore...like stiff legs sore, walking up/down stairs sore etc...Shall I wait another day or two before repeating my weight session until the muscle soreness has gone down a bit? Thanks

Low calorie snack idea for you...
Hi All Just discovered the SKYR Icelandic Yogurt which has 81cals per pot, 14g protein, 5.7g Carbs and 5.3g Sugar (incase anyway was interested) and its really nice! Its nice and thick. Just thought I'd share. x

Is a daily calorie goal....
Just your TDEE minus a percentage (15%, 20% etc) which in turn puts you in a deficit? MFP tells me if I want to maintain my weight with lightly active lifestyle then I’d have a goal of 1980 - is that my TDEE?

Advice and what would you do?
Hi all I’ve been following a lower body programme for a couple of weeks now but I don’t do any upper body mainly because I don’t enjoy it but I do understand its probably something I am going to have to incorporate. I’m not knew to weight training and have performed the compound movements such as OH press, deadlifts, bench…
