Hello lovely people 
Interested to know what type of exercise everybody carries out.. what do you find really works for you??
Also people who like to go to the gym what sort of things do you do there?
I need a set plan in my head of what I'm going to do!! Lol thanks x
I'm currently training for a half marathon, so I'm running at least 4 x per week. I also love to cycle (10+ miles a time). I do weights as well (when I force myself) and have a TRX that goes over the top of a door. There are loads of free workout videos on YouTube (HasFit have a useful beginners dumbbell workout). Aldi have weights and mats in this week at good prices if you need any.
I did used to go to the gym - great things to do are rowing and spinning for all-over workouts. Also free weights (rather than machines) or bodyweight exercises are good as they use more than one muscle group.
It's a good idea to build up your muscle strength as muscle burns calories even after your workout. Also working out to get your heart really pumping if you can gives an "afterburner" effect.
I will now stop talking! Sorry!
Good luck
Wow go you!! Yeah I do love to cycle and walk a lot as well just want to mix it up a bit and maybe start in the gym! Will have to try some of your suggestions!
Thank you and good luck with your half marathon training!
I started walking a year ago, and now walk with two local walking groups as well as by myself. I find the commitment of walking with others helps keep me motivated, good luck, x
Yeah I also like to walk! Wasn't sure how good that was for you and whether it was worth joining the gym and doing other exercise as well! Walking group sounds fun tho! Thank you
Read recently for weight loss that regular walking, especially spread throughout the day, was good for fat loss ☺ I think it was as much regular movement as anything ☺ But for fat loss and body size, diet is the most important, exercise is more for body shape ☺ Ideally a combination of both ☺ Get in that kitchen and get chopping! ! Lol 😄😄😄
Lol yeah the meal prepping will begin tonight!!! Just want to make sure I'm doing everything right! Haha im so pumped this time round to reach my goal and also this forum is super motivating so hopefully we all get where we want to be
Hello Tasha and welcome to the forum.
My exercise routine varies, depending upon the time of year.
For example, from mid spring to early October, the months are largely dominated by running at least 3 times a week, especially along the beach on a nice, hot summer’s afternoon or warm summer evening.
During the colder months of the year, I tend to ease off on running outdoors, to allow the body an opportunity to rest.
Instead, I’ll concentrate upon resistance workouts in the gym to maintain muscular strength and endurance of my legs. I still perform resistance exercise in the gym during summer months, just not as frequently, as I’d rather be out running when the weather is nice.
If I can’t be bothered to go the gym, I’ll perform a self-devised HIIT circuit that includes mountain climbers, burpees (killer), power jacks, press ups, rotating planks, etc.
However, regardless of the season, once a week, I’ll always ensure that I perform a 20 minute HIIT workout upon the StairMaster (as I did yesterday evening).
My New Years’ exercise resolution, however, is to practice yoga or pilates more frequently than I currently do. My gym (JD) offers both, so I intend to participate, to maintain suppleness and flexibility.
Hi! Thank you
Really sounds like you have it all figured out I might have to steal some of your tips! I'm thinking I need to lose a bit of weight through cardio and resistance before I begin strength and toning but I'm no expert so I'm open to ideas! Have just bought a new bike so going to try and get out on that a few nights a week along with early mornings in the gym! - thinking cross trainer, treadmill, but not too sure what else!
Your resistance sounds cool that's also what I need to do!
