Mangled Ankle
Hi, Was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what to do tonight exercise wise? Some stupid one stood back on me on a night out (I will own up to having loads to drink that night, hence not feeling the pain until the following day) but, she's actually stood on my ankle socket. Over a week later, it's still…

Shopping
Hi everyone, I walked around a shopping mall for 2.5hrs last night trying on new shoes (feet are still killing me) so I decided to underestimate this and log it as 75mins of slow walking, 2mph! What does everyone else do, re logging it? I do not class this as every day activity as I either go to the gym, or go to the gym…

30DS - Level 3
Has anyone tried this? How much harder is it compared to L1 and L2? I'm sure if I'm willing my life away by trying it tonight instead of going to RPM for 60 mins!!!! I'd appreciate anyone giving me their views! P.s. I'm confident with L1, only done L2 a few times so far!

High Heart Rate
Hello, Right...I could do with some sound advice. I'm 31 and use a HRM for my gym classes. It's not uncommon for my heart rate to climb up to the 180s but I feel extremely uncomfortable when it gets this high.

Possible water weight gain??
I hope someone can help! It is possible to put 1kg on in water weight since Tuesday (3 days), right? Because that's what I've put on despite not going over my cals and doing 2hrs 15 of exercise, an hour being strength classes. I feel bloated too, grrr. Should I expect this to go down by my next weigh in on Tues next week?…

Sweat Bands
I know they were popular in the 80s but, does anyone use them?! I find that when I do my Body Pump class, my arm and hairline are getting a bit moist (sorry, couldn't think of a better way of saying it lol). Are they worth using? I just don't want to look like an 80s throw back! The 80s were painful enough as a kid let…

Right, so people switch these on as soon as they enter the work out area (right before getting onto a machine) then pause it inbetween equipment/classes OR...do you stop it when you go to the changing rooms?!

Weight gain from exercise, is this normal?
Hello, This week I've done RPM (spinning), body pump and I tried ViPR last night with a bit of cardio. Trying to weigh myself once a week max but curiosity got the better of me this morning and since Mon I'm 0.7kg heavier. I'm praying this will go down by Monday! I'm assuming this is normal due to muscles retaining water?…
