DAFC Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Tried those exercises for a week now, feeling a difference already. For the first weekend in ages didn't have one piece of junk food, kept going into the kitchen during the break in a film but just drank some water. I guess it will get easier over time when your body gets used to not eating shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan-bufc Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm at the point where My diet isnt 100% but whenever I eat shite like a Chinese, McDonald's etc, I feel like shit and need to do some sort of exercise to counter it. Suppose it's progress though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mak Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Look up the word 'progress' in the nearest pocket dictionary you can find. Report back. God speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now still am eating them. That's not progress to me. Edited February 26, 2013 by aidan-bufc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mak Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well I was eating them. I now still am eating them. That's not progress to me. My tone earlier didn't really do me any favours. What I was trying to communicate was that if you feel that you have to do corrective training to compensate for eating 'bad' food then that's a bit problematic. Bringing up orthorexia was a bit over the top, but it is indicative of a slightly disordered relationship with food. There's nothing wrong with eating foods you enjoy from time to time within the context of a healthy diet. Basically the way you're doing it now is actually right, so you don't need to feel guilty or do extra training to compensate. That's what I should've said in the first place rather than trying to be smart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more than a few people who get guilty when they have a takeaway etc and absolutely pound the gym to atone for their sins. S'mental. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's loads of good information on the internet, so wouldn't necessarily bother with buying anything. http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/nutrition would be a good place to start. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arch Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Was looking for some advice chaps. I go to the gym say 3-4 times a week. Enjoy using most of the different lifting machines, leg machines etc but I hate all running machines. Just find treadmill, exercise bike and cross trainer all really boring and can only ever do them for 5-10 minutes at a time. I can never really make classes cause I work till 6, and by the time I arrived the first one's usually started, and I'm always starving and want to get home, so can't be arsed waiting for a later class. Is there a more interesting way to get your cardio in at the gym, if you don't like running machines and don't have time for classes? I always stretch at the gym before I start but my legs are quite stiff recently so not sure if that's related to lack of cardio or what.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However i only ever use them for HIIT and it makes it relatively interesting as you are always changing speed, plus you are not spending a ridiculous amount of time on the machie. Failing that, it is coming into spring/summer so could be worth hitting the pavements 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems to equate cardio with running. I fucking hate running too, so I don't do much of it, it really is deathly dull. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had training last night, it was basically running and squats for an hour. The top of my legs are fucking agony today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dindeleux Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I bought a digital skipping rope and try to do as many as I can at the end of every work out. It's really tougher than I thought it would be but very good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
