Body Weight Exercises or Weight Lifting?
Which one should I do? Basically I have a choice: 1) Stay at my current gym - Lift heavy etc 2) Join the boxing gym which focus on body weight exercise, speed and punching drills. Both would cost £30 per month & I would have to quit one to afford the other. What would be more effective for fat loss? Please let me know.

Circuit Training & Weight Training
In theory if you went to the gym twice a day, could you get away with doing circuit training in the morning and heavy weights in the evening? Or would you do running in the morning instead?

Circuit Training
My gym is currently trying to push me into circuit training. Is it any good? I'm a simple man, all I do is eat healthy, lift heavy & run on the treadmill. If i'm feeling fancy I might take a multi and some fish oils. So if any of you have tried it please let me know what your thoughts are

My motivation has gone.

I will be trying the above as of today for at least 2 weeks! Cardio will be steady state on the treadmill for 30 minutes. (6.0km and 5% incline) Weight training will be split into upper and lower body, and on the days I don't do weight i'll throw in another cardio session. I will report back with my findings as well! I…

Weights
Should I even bother with them? Someone said to me that for rapid FAT loss, I should not bother with weights that much, and instead focus on HITT cardio everyday. Sure i'll lose muscle as well but I can always get that back when I start strength training again. That is apparently the reason why my weight loss is slow. What…

Why are you fat?
The answer is simple. For many years the body has consumed more cals than it has burned, therefore leaving leaving me with a spare tyre or 2! The battle for weight loss is definitely physical.. But it's worth not ignoring the mental aspect of it as well. Really look within yourself and find out WHY you got to the stage…
