Back progress
Hi, I have been working out pretty consistently for some time now and started lifting heavy two months ago. My diet is generally healthy with the odd treat and I feel like I'm getting there slowing. I'm definitely a lot fitter than I've ever been and I'm really enjoying the strength training. I've been taking photos and…

Polar ft4 troubleshoot
Hi, I've only had my ft4 for about 6 months and it has stopped working. For a few days it was cutting out at the beginning of a workout. I restarted it and it was fine for the rest of the workout. Now it won't find my heart rate at all. I've changed the batteries on the transmitter and still no luck :( Does anyone have any…

Insanity making me hungry
People doing insanity are you always hungry?! I feel like I couldn't eat enough. I'm trying so hard to stick to my calories but it is getting difficult. I work until 8pm which means I'm not eating until 9/9.30. I have afternoon snacks of fruit, cheese sticks etc but it doesn't always help. Does anyone have any advice?

Fitness blender 8 week program calorie burn
Hey, I've been following the fitness blender 8 week program which I love but I've not been getting as high of a calorie burn (according to my HRM) as the program says I should get. A fair few of the workouts are stretches, weights and some other low impact and so I was wondering if the lower calorie burn reading may be…

The biggest loser
Hey, Does anybody have a season 7 YouTube playlist link for the biggest loser? I'm working my way through them but can't find one for season 7 :( I know I could watch them else where but I can only watch them on my iPad so I'm limited to which sites I can use.

Oh how times have changed!!
So my polar ft4 arrived today :) I had already done my workout for the day but I was so excited when it arrived that I decided to do more exercise :) I was glad to see that so far what I thought I have been burning is pretty accurate! So my success story is linked to the arrival of the HRM as it got me thinking about this…

Help - what kind of bean is this?
So I usually buy tinned chickpeas but the place where I buy them didn't have any and haven't done for a while (I live in a small town in Korea and it is the only shop I have seen them in). So I found what I thought were dried chickpeas and have soaked them over night, however I'm pretty sure they aren't chickpeas. Does…

The splits and bridge
So when I was younger I could do the splits and a bridge with no problem but now I am really lacking flexibility. Does anybody know of a good routine to boost flexibility? Preferably one that is free online somewhere like YouTube. I really want to be able to do these things again! Thanks for any help

Oven omelette
I am a HUGE fan of eggs but tend to stick to scrambling or frying them. Last night I looked up different ways to cook them and found this recipe http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oven-omelet/ Today I decided to make it for lunch however I did modify the recipe quite a bit (no potatoes or ham and I used one cheese slice instead…

Advice needed from swimmers
Hi, I currently swim for just over an hour, three times a week. During that time I swim 70 lengths (front crawl). In order to continue losing weight should I increase my stroke length or frequency? I don't want to have to swim for longer, I need the swim to be more intense. How do I do this? I live in Korea and as far as I…

Documentary
Hi, I just watched this documentary http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/way-beyond-weight/ I thought it was really interesting. It looks at the food children are eating and their perception of it. It also looks at the marketing of food aimed at children.

Eggs
I need help - I think I'm addicted to eggs! I've always loved them but recently I've been eating way too many. I have scrambled eggs (2 eggs) pretty much every day for lunch...

Sweating
This may seem daft but unless I am dripping in sweat after a work out I feel like I havent really done anything. For example I just did about 30 minutes of ab and arm toning but don't feel like it is enough... Does anyone else feel like this?

Daily exercise
I was just wondering how much time you spend exercising per day. I tend to work out for roughly 30 minutes in the morning and then another 30 minutes at night. On average I am burning about 500 calories per day using fitness blender and an exercise DVD ( these are very rough estimates though!) Is this enough or should I do…
