The Weightloss/ Getting Fit Thread!

Just got a fitbit recently and went for a walk today along the beach and have done 13500 steps!

Really has motivated me so far to get moving more. Apparently 10000 is a good target to aim for everyday. Doesn't help when the weather is * outside though. If the weather is bad I am going to use the exercise bike. Here is hoping I start shedding the pounds!

 

Find weights so much more enjoyable than cardio (which really bores me). Think I need to ramp up the cardio and cut back on beer to shift the last bit of weight around the middle. Arms, chest and legs are looking good now, I suspect mainly because of my good diet.

 

Did a 'sweatbox' circuit session this morning at the gym. Working in pairs. 3 laps running around the hall while your partner does a particular exercise. 12 different exercises in total. Exercises were all bodyweight stuff such as planks, side planks, frog jumps, lunges, press ups, bear crawls, sprinters, t presses etc. * now.

 

Been lazy past week.But forced my sel to gym the day,done 66 minutes on the bike coverin 18 mile.Feelin good for it.

 

Giving it laldy on the exercise bike at the moment while browsing the forum. Don't feel like I am doing any exercise. Watching the tv or on been on your phone takes your mind of the fact you are actually doing exercise.

Ended up doing 10km there. Definitely going to aim for getting on the bike twice a day. Doing 30mins each time. Then will build up to an hour twice a day.

 

I find the bike the best for anxiety.done another 18 mile the day on it.

 

Doesn't quite beat actually been out on the bike but when the weather is * it's great.

 

Honestly be good to go out in a bicycle,but my motor skills are *,wouldnt be long before i got hit with a bus.Lol.

 

Have any of you ever had dry needle done on a muscle?

Had it done on my hamstring last year and it worked wonders. Both hamstrings bothering me the last few weeks so tempted to get it again on both, but * me it's an uncomfortable experience.

 

Have you tried stretching often, for at least a minute at a time? Or ibuprofen or deep heat?

 

Have tried them all yeah with some success, just seems to be something that I'm going to have niggling at me at some point every season.

I probably need to be more consistent with stretching and do it constantly rather than just when I'm feeling tight.

 

Went out a 10k run first thing this morning and then walked about 10-15k

Can see me not being able to walk tomorrow

 

This healthy business has really paid off. I have lost 8 pounds since last Wednesday.

 

I'm down to 173.8lbs as of this morning... this is usually where I come off the rails as I approach sub 170lbs

Downloaded the Men'sHealth Primal 9 app last week. Have been going to the gym 4 times a week for the past 2 months & whilst I've noticed a change in my body, I'd expect more for the amount of time I spend in the gym, plus the fact I've cut all the * out my diet. The change I've noticed since using the App though has been frightening. Its basically a 9 week training programme with excercises & meal plans. I thought I was in relatively good shape, until I tried the work-outs. Unbelievable. App is initially free & gives a bit of a teaser, but costs £48 for the full 9 week programme. Well worth it IMO considering some personal trainers charge £20/£30 per hour..

 

* hate leg day

 

I'm a fan. Can feel the pain of it more.

 

Gym in Holland . Who can use a consistent left-wing gym here?
