Fasting for weight control, and so much more WOW!
Has anyone else had any experience with fasting. When I was a younger man and in the Forces I had it forced upon me once or twice(few dozen times), but nothing I ever intentionally set out to do. Right now my triathlon training is going just great, though a little behind with the swimming, and my diet is so healthy. But…

Training was going full steam and so well and then a low mood kicked in.
Here is a bit of an odd thing I am going through mentally. I have had a few ups and downs over the past few years, biggest being my ill mother who passed away last year after a long battle with MS. My fitness has never been so neglected like it has been over the last few years, though I did train on the odd occassion and…

Training going like a dream then I hit a low mood 5 days ago
Had this on another board, but think it might have been the wrong place. Here is a bit of an odd thing I am going through mentally. I have had a few ups and downs over the past few years, biggest being my ill mother who passed away last year after a long battle with MS. My fitness has never been so neglected like it has…

Is this the smell of natural testosterone
This is going to sound really odd, but this has happened to me many times in the past.. I have been back in training to get fit this year, and apart from a very sad family event it has all gone well. I am hitting the cardio like a maniac, running, cycling, spins, circuit training and much more, I getting that heart pumping…

Anyone using a nutribullet to maintain weight.
Was just wondering if many of you have been using the nutribullet? I started juicing quite a while back, and as much as I had some strong pluses for doing so, it was nothing compared to the nutribullet. It has been the single best thing I have ever done to maintain my weight, and with no or little pain or suffering. I…

Back again for a good 2016, or better even.
Hi yet again, but hopefully here to stay now. Had a good start to last year, then a load of family stuff got in the way with my Mum sadly passing away in the New Year after 25 years with MS. I am now need to shed a good 14lb, but I was roughly at the same point last year, maybe a little more now. Any way, just wanted to…

How much does an extra 30 pounds effect your running?
I am just getting back into running at the age of 54 and with 30 pounds more weight to carry. As a 30 year old I was running sub 80 minutes half marathons as routine. Now I am am that heavy looking slow chubby guy with no bounce in his pace. But I have stopped smoking since I was running those great times, 12 years stopped…

My routine with weights
I basically have my weekly workouts sorted, plenty of cardio which I am quite happy with at the moment and need little advice or help(going well), and with the weights I am more concerned with doing big muscle group core exercises etc. I have broken it down to three separate sessions, and with 2 days off between sessions.…

Thinking about the next step in a few months, lifestyle health rather than binge training/diet
So far so good... Training is going well, diet is going mostly well with just the odd wobble, no red wine(no booze fullstop) and my mind is focused enough to get me to my initial early goal/aim. But it is early days, and as most of us know the secret to a happy healthy body is in lifestyle and not constant programs and…

Do not neglect the Mind
Not sure is it is a big deal on this site, but I have found in the last decade or so it is as important to work on the Mind as much as bashing those miles out or lifting that extra few Kg/Lb, maybe more so. I read a lot and even attended a few courses about meditation, relaxation methods, still the mind etc etc. Though not…

Two choices, fit and active or fat, unhealthy and miserable in older age.
I have been back down the gym again today, and for so early on in the year I am getting the feeling that I am starting out on a good solid base, there is something in this muscle memory marlarky... Did a good solid hour of cardio then got out quick, one of my old habits. But later I got quite reflective, New Year and all…

Just how buffed up can a 50 something year old get
Just give me some hope here Guys :-) I have had my off moments with training, but have generally worked out most of my life, cardio and strength. I can still knock out 50 press ups even after being lazy for a few months, and a sub 40 minute 5 mile run is still easy enough, and I can bench press a few reps at 85kg. But the…

Legs
I am one of many weight trainers who have over the years has committed the cardinal sin of never working those legs nearly enough. I have also not been training for a good few months now for one reason or another, so also need to shed a few pounds. I am going to do plenty of rowing(concept 2, which I love) and cycling,…

Diet and fitness going well.. but sleeping badly and moody.
Have been on a healthy diet(1400cal) for three weeks now where I have also cut out sugar and alcohol to a huge extent and as good as cut out all processed foods, I also started fitness training again. In many ways I already feel good, blood pressure back to perfect and weight slowly coming off, and my body shape improving.…
