Emotional Breakdown at Yoga
So tonight, I tried Yoga for the first time in my life. It was hot yoga - Bikram. I am overweight at 190lbs and 5 foot 7 and very unflexible. I usually do bootcamp, run, crosstrainer, body weight exercises (callisthenics), Turbo Fire, etc. Never anything like yoga. So I read up on tips, I ate light before the class, and…

Fresh Gym Workout Idea!
I was getting bored with my gym workout of cross trainer or treadmill then weights, so I found this e-book that helps to mix it up a bit! One of the suggestions, which I followed, was to do 5 kilometers - but 1k on 5 different machines. I also mixed it up with adding 10 press ups or 10 crunches in between each kilometer. I…

For those who think they can't run or those starting running
Hello, I threw together my best 'beginner's tips' for another user who was asking for them and thought it is something I wish somebody had told me before.

USA's snub to UK terror victims
Edit: maybe the title should've been 'NBC's snub to UK terror victims' http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-19037588 What do people think about this? The Olympic Opening Ceremony happened on Friday night in the Stratford Arena (I was lucky enough to have a standing ticket for it). It seems that US media firm 'NBC'…

Requesting a message with a FR = self-importance
I have noticed on about 80% of people's profiles on here, there is a section which says: 'If you are going to Friend Request me - make sure you add a few sentences saying why you are adding me otherwise you will be DENIED' Is it just me or does this seem a bit self important? It makes me want to unfriend people who have…

Should I chuck in the towel for tonight?
Ok so I had a slightly unhealthy weekend - i ate pizza - but I was under my 1400 calorie goal. Monday I ate good - after 5 days I'm still at 196 - not a 0.1 difference.
