June 30, 20186 yr Health is everything in life. I am following an exercise to put off my belly fat. But not eating healthy food :P :P But its working so well.
June 30, 20186 yr Live healthy and fit life with gym. Exercise every day. I have lost 5 in a week. :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: Edited June 30, 20186 yr by Flory
July 13, 20186 yr Went to the gym again for the first time in 6 months, yay. Maybe I'll be able to get to sleep tonight.
August 10, 20186 yr Some how ended up signing up for a gym membership with people from work and agreeing to go with them before work. How do I let myself get talking into this shit
August 16, 20186 yr Author Going to the gym about 3/4 days a week over the summer - having separate days for legs, shoulders, chest and arms. Every session has a 5 minute sprint session on the treadmill (20 secs on, 10 secs off) at about 18km/h and a plank. Got the World Cup weight off again at least :lol:

Got the World Cup weight off again at least :lol: I'd swap out arms for back in that routine and then just tag biceps/triceps on at the end of a session I currently do shoulders/biceps, chest/abs, legs/abs and back/triceps and then a day of cardio and abs if I can fit it in.

Fair enough, half the time I end up mixing arms with chest and shoulders anyway! Do you recommend any exercises for back?
August 16, 20186 yr Joined the Pure Gym near where I live at the start of August as it was £20 a month cheaper than my local gym and it's open 24/7. I'm really enjoying it and it's got me in the mood to do well this time. I'm just wanting to lose weight for now before toning and doing weights and stuff so I've been trying to go 3-4 times a week, doing half an hour on the cross trainer and half an hour of either walking or biking. My thighs are my problem area (I can have the thinnest waist ever but the inside leg never seems to be big enough in the pant area :lol:) so I'm aiming to lose an inch or two off these, as well as my gut and man boobs! Currently lost just over a stone since the start of the year, but I'd lost that quite fast and had plateau'd so wanting to actually properly do it. I'm trying to cut down my food intake as well but that's harder than any gym workout. :(
August 16, 20186 yr Does anyone have any tips for losing inches in those areas (thigh/gut/moob)? I'm looking at losing weight generally, but if these were to go a bit faster that would be perfect! :lol: I've seen online that the cross trainer is a good way to go, and it's probably best as I have issues with my feet and having a low impact machine helps massively!
August 16, 20186 yr Fair enough, half the time I end up mixing arms with chest and shoulders anyway! Do you recommend any exercises for back? Barbell rows Dumbell rows Pull ups Chin ups Lateral pull downs There are a few good machines too, just make sure you train your lower back too!

If you've issues with your feet then probably the cross trainer, exercise bikes or rowing machine is probably good (would avoid running full stop.. it's bad for your joints). Best thing to do in your position is don't try to cut corners, your weight is diet controlled mainly so if you are looking to cut body fat then you have to adjust your diet with exercise otherwise it's counter productive. Doing high intensity classes would probably be good.. circuit training would be what I would recommend. The hardest part of training is pushing your body that extra 5% which people rarely do (myself included) but if you have a mini personal trainer then they'll push you and help you towards your goals.

Do rows all ready, could do with adding some lats in there! Lower back is definitely something I need to target, pretty much where all my fat is at the moment.

There are PTs available at my gym which I might try and utilise. I've started cutting down on portion sizes and the amounts of snacks that I eat. I've got a goal weight for Christmas which I think is achievable so I just need to keep going. I've not done any running since I finished the Great North Run three years ago, I was in so much pain for weeks afterwards that I thought I'd done some permanent damage. :(

Rows are good as are pull downs, there are loads of machines for back. Do you squat? You can also train your lower back slightly squatting.

Snacks and unhealthy stuff are fine as long as they are in moderation, you need to treat your body still. The main thing is just keeping going. I think PTs are a massive waste of money for fitness, only use them if you are wanting to learn techniques for lifting weights etc. and even then I would use them for 5-10 hours max as they just want your money. I think circuit training would be really good for you, if you have a bit of extra fat then you might want to convert it to muscle mass.
September 14, 20186 yr Might be thinking of joining a gym, which I feel will help take my mind off things.
September 15, 20186 yr I've been able to get to the gym more in the long summer I've had but I'm not sure whether I'll carry on at Uni. There's a gym near where I'll be staying but I don't think I'll buy a membership, if I go I'd probably just pay for individual sessions.
