Preworkout and BCAA
I am aware that you dont really need to consume either preworkout or BCAA. However I was gifted both as a christmas present and I would feel bad letting it go to waste if it can be somewhat useful. I take preworkout before all my workouts. I dont drink any other caffeine, so I feel a serious pump from it and I am a big…

Advice on exercise watches needed
I do not own a smartwatch (or even a watch). Ive considered buying a watch that would allow me to track my calories burned, but the options are endless and I am unsure what choice to go with. Some seem to be very pricey (Apple watch nike), whilst others seem to be as low as £50 for a watch. Which watch do you use, and what…

Lemon water
I love this stuff, but it takes me tons of effort to make, so I was wondering if you use a special tool to get the most juice of out the lemon and into the water? Atm Im cutting it into slices, then taking out the stones, then squezing it in there to get maximum out of it as I preffer it really strong

How to improve my balance
So I do a lot of different fitness classes (Spinning, zumba, circuits and body combat) and kickboxing and all of these classes I struggle with my balance.

How often should one lift?
How often should I lift heavy to ensure minimum loss of lbm? I do a lot of fitness classes (5 atm) and this lowers the time I have to lift, so I was wondering what is the minimum I can do for it to be effective?

Can't stay low on calories
Ive been on MFP for a while and stopped logging in the new year due to stress and commitments. I lost the majority of my weight on a 1200 calorie diet without any exercise. Now I workout everyday, doing various classes (zumba, spinning, bodycombat, pilates, eplitical training and such) and whenever I dont do a class I will…

Zone of Misery
Today I woke up after a horrible nights sleep with the worst stomach cramps and headache. Ive not been feeling too great the last couple of days after having 1-2 days after my carb flu where I felt okay.

Breakfast?
Do you or do you not? Is it okay not to eat breakfast? I typically force it down because I feel I should as thats the healthy thing to do (what ive always been told) however eating breakfast only tend to make me hungrier, when Im not hungry in the first place. Thoughts?

Overeating
So I realised when I went paleo (on 10th day now) that I overeat to the extreme. I realised this because I am always incredible full due to this new way of eating, yet I continue to eat. I tried buying some dark chocolate to help with cravings but have realised I cannot have that in the house so threw out the last I had…

Weight machines vs free weight
Ive read up a lot about how weight machines are not nearly as good as free weights, and today I joined a gym and went to my induction and had a costumised training program. I told the trainer I wanted to become stronger and healthier. We went around and he put 40 minutes of cardio on my programe and then he showed me some…
