Ladies who lift...?
I lift a little bit during my workouts but nothing major. How many ladies lift weights as part of their training? Also does anyone have any advice to help me to go from an amateur, to taking it a bit more seriously e.g. When/how do you increase the weight, and do you focus on how heavy it is, or reps? Would love to hear…

Upper body strength...
Ladies, how long did it take you to be able to do exercises such as pull ups. I haven't been training very long, but have started working out with a trainer. My bottom half is quite strong, but I feel like I really struggle with all the upper body exercises. I can't even lift my own body weight. I also struggle with some…

Is there anything that anyone else would like to do as a challenge for the…

Sugar Fast....
A colleague and I were talking about how much sugar we eat. I literally eat soooooo much sugar, it's not good at all!!! I eat multipacks of chocolates and there's always cake in my office.

Most Effective Exercises
Hey ladies! Just wondering what exercises you have found shave off the most calories. I'm trying to do a mix of cardio and strength training at the gym but I'm finding I'm not shrinking as much as when I used to just go out for long runs. Granted my diet isn't amazing but it wasn't when I used to run and I still got much…

Fasting/OMAD
Is anyone fasting or trying to eat one meal a day? I've been doing this for a few weeks and it has really been helping me! It's helped me not to think about food all day and has reduced my cravings.
