Brought to you by the Cloudy with a Chance of Pain research team, we are now recruiting for volunteers to take part in a 3-month study into activity and pain,...

Recently I joined a gym and have really been pushing myself to do sit ups and push ups. I worked on strength exercises today and I can totally feel it in my...

Hi, I'm April. Last week I joined the NHS health unlocked community, I have just started my second week of the NHS 12 week weight loss plan and this week I'm...

Hi All, I've just joined this group as summer is looming yet again and I want to enjoy it this year, without choosing clothing to cover up. I fall (just!)...

Hello world,  Finished week one today, W1R3 in the bag. Congrats to everyone out there who reached the goal for the day.  I had three rest days in a row due to...

I read a few of the posts about the 100 push -ups and tried week one - couldn't even do 2 proper ones - scary. So I thought even if it's just a starting point...

Today we dd deep squats facing a wall and from under a bar, both of which prevent you from leaning forward and force you to keep form: chest high, hips back....

I had actually printed out the '100 push up challenge ' from elsewhere ( the original version I think)  with a plan to DO it.. ( as an interesting experiment)...

We are already  in week two.  How is it going for everyone?

So, today we did 'Angie', one of the Crossfit 'Girls' workouts so named not because they are designed just for girls to do, but because, supposedly, the...

I went out for a run in the London sun this morning and ended up at one of my local parks.  I'm trying to add more Stregnth work in so I broke my run up and...

I've just done this exercise. You can see that core strength involves strenghthening many different abdominal muscles. Push ups are part of the picture but...

Great to find this forum as I am the Worlds worst at doing anything for my core so guided by a fellow runner I am now doing 1 minute of plank and 1 minute of...

Like many on here I use this forum to motivate myself to core and Stregnth work.  I'm using the 5x50 to really get some structure to this.  I have been...

this is the first time I have looked in this wing of the forum, despite being a long time C25k forum participant. I have to say I am quite shocked. C25k is...

Hi all. I just noticed this forum so have dutifully joined. I have tried this many times and given up half way through but as your all finishing it I thought I...

5x50 starts tomorrow http://www.5x50.org I'm using these 50 days to work religiously on my Stregnth and core and stretches.  I think my body is ready for this...

Another week under my belt and it's all stepping up a bit but I'm coping. I'm finding now I'm thinking more about form rather than just trying to get through...

I feel like it's all starting to make a difference now. I do two really good sessions a week as 1)that's what fitted in and 2) it just felt right. I do...

I've just finished the 100 push-up challenge - it stretched a bit from the six weeks it's supposed to take due to Christmas, holidays, life. Lost momentum on...

1st week under my belt. I know I keep saying that but I'm keeping my fingers crossed life is kind to me and I have a full six weeks till my next event and I...

I'm in my second week now. I've had to cut the shoulder push ups to when they have healed from the last session because I am coming back from frozen shoulder...

Hi, I'm back again. I am determined to get a grip of my core and strength. So new year new start. I've set all my apps back to the beginning. My aim is to...

Still not done my push ups. So busy right now. Strangely enough I've managed to find time for a 5km & 7 km. but not for three mins of push ups!!!. Must...

Just set out to week 3 day3 and found out I was actually on wk3 d2! Life has been getting in the way and my schedule has slipped but that's ok, I'll keep...

Things have been all over energy wise with losing one of my best friends but I am back into running and speed walking this week, which means I should get back...

Well, I managed 32 in my test last week, which would have been just enough to move on to week 5, but I really didn't see much point since there was no way I...

Not really coping here with week 4, column 2. Managed D1 OK (a little short on set 5) but the number is escalating quickly and by D2 I fell short on the 4th...
