Why am I so apprehensive???
Last month I went to play competitive badminton with a friend. I was doing it as a way to add in different excercises to my routine. I was going to the gym 4 days a week doing weight and cardio. While we were playing a quick pick up game after warming up I went for a shot and twisted and my left knee came out of socket and…

I'm so devastated...
I finally came to that point in my life that I was determined to make a change. I got my gym membership, I got motivated and I found MFP! It's a slow process, I was losing about 1 lbs a week and happy with that, especially since I've hit double digits. I tried Zumba with a friend and really enjoyed it and had another…

The gym and some observations...
I go to my district council leisure centre. This is a very affordable option for me. In my short time I have observed a few things and thought I would see if anyone else notices the same things. First of all at the back of the gym is where all the free weights and cable weight machines are. This area is always occupied…

When should I try to start running?
I joined a local gym at the end of March. I've been going at least 4 days a week and I do 40 minutes of elliptical and 40 minutes of the treadmill. I just walk the treadmill but I want to start burning up more calories. I've never ran, I have good shoes, no physical or health problems but for some reason I am scared to…
