nothing like an ECG for motivation
Last week I went to the docs because i had some pain in my upper abdomen. Now, i was pretty sure it was muscular as i had been working in the garden all weekend and despite being super painful overnight, it had eased by morning and i had no other symptoms. so i went to the docs anyway and she said she thinks its either…

Grrr, injured
Helping a mate move, we managed to drop steel workbench (that took 4 of us to lift) on to my foot. luckily i managed to pull it out before it got completely crushed, but it was definitely bruised and swollen and has put me out of comission for 4 or 5 days.

NSG's (Non Scale Goals)
Everyone on here seems to have their goal weights, with increments of mini goals before the UGW as they call it. And this of course is great, you need to know what you are striving for. Then on the other side, we have people bragging about their NSV's, or Non Scale Victories. People commenting on how they look, being able…

W2D1
Complete this tonight. breezed through it really. the sound in my rundouble app cut out at the end of run 4, so i ended up doing a 150 second run instead of a 90. i also made sure that my last interval was my quickest. did 3.56km in 31 mins.

Jeff Speakman diagnosed with Throat Cancer

It is operable but this means taking out the voice box. All this just as he had signed on for a part in the expendables 3 as well. There is a…

getting back into it
a year or more ago, i started on this site, i was logging everything, having good success etc etc. i plateaued a bit but that didnt bother me. i was still going to the gym, eating well, training and all that. then a few things went down hill. we ran low on money and my gym membership lapsed (which i got back up and running…

Why dont more people learn martial arts?
I was helping out my sensei in a shopping centre display last weekend, trying to bring more students to our school. When he was talking to them he made what i thought was a great point. People learn to swim so they dont drown if they fall in the water. they do first aid courses to help people that are injured. why isnt…

Calories Burnt - HRM vs Fitness Machine
So today i got my new heart rate monitor so i was keen to go to the gym to see if i burn the same or more than the machines at the gym were telling me. i anticipated that the machines underestimated. i knew that the machines could pick up the readings from a polar monitor, so i was pretty stoked that my dunlop reading was…

Change the Mindset
When it comes to weight loss, there are a lot of people out there that would think that they cant do it , or its too hard, or they just go at it half assed. Or even if they have been successful in the past, they will hit a hurdle and start complaining about plateus etc etc then go back to being lazy (all comments are…

Whats your gym routine
Hi All, Im looking at joining a gym on the weekend, which is scary because the last time i joined i barely went and wasted my money. but the main reason for not going was that they werent open at the times i wanted to go (usually late nights sunday afternoons) but this gym is 24 hours 7 days so that wont be an excuse any…

Whats on your clip board.
just hit paste and see what comes up... ---- Whilst Sony makes a decent camera, its lens range isn't great and is pricey for what it is. While you claim adding to your lens arsenal is the least of your worries, later on down the track as you start getting more into photography, you'll see what results other people are…

NSV - Running
Last octover when i decided to get fit, the only thing i changed was to start running. I figured that if i eat what im eating now but increase exercise i would lose weight right? sounded logical. well it did to some extent but not really. but thats another story. my goal is to be able to do a 12 km (7.5miles) race by…
