"I hated the gym but I have to get rid of my tummy to achieve a bikini body in 7 weeks (yeah I know I live in fantasy land). So I went to the torture chamber last night and joined properly to ensure ill go regularly. I really hate it. Had been eyeing up the bikes and thought they would be easier as I'm sitting down, but no they hurt, as do the cross trainer and running thing which I all but fell off as my legs had gone to jelly. I thought the rower would be ok too but no, again that bloody thing hurts. And the contraptions with weights attached, I can only have the lowest weights possible. So what do you hate the most, I think for me its the rower. Oh and does anyone know how long a complete novice should spend on each one. I was 10 mins on each. And what are those big space hopper beach balls for? " You can ask someone in the gym to help you. If you ask for an assessment they'll take you through all the machines and write you a program so you know what weights you should be liftin, how many minutes on each machine and what levels. | |||

"I used to do a cardio-vascular routine which involved moving from machine to machine doing 1-minute burnouts on each. You pick a machine like a rower, x-trainer, running machine to increase your stamina and alternate with a strength building machine like weights, bench press etc. Do a 30-machine routine and, given the 30 seconds it will take to transfer to the next machine, you get a full 45 minute workout. When you start each machine you have to give it all you have for the whole minute. The rest periods between each ensure you don't tire so quickly." Telling a complete beginner to do HIIT is going to end in disaster. Either get one of the gym trainers to sort you a sensible programme or better yet have a qualified L3 personal trainer design you a programme. You will save a bunch of time. Good luck with it. | |||

"Gym Equipment? Hate all of it Seriously, due to various permanent medical ailments or conditions, I'm very much restricted in what I could use, so all I can use would be a cycle on the lowest setting. I'm not allowed to use weights, I'm banned from running or high impact exercise. Don't mention swimming, as I swim like a brick; straight down to the bottom of the pool I even need water wings in the bath!! I have a stress ball I use each day " so sex is out the question also? | |||

"For those looking to lose fat mass, no amount of exercise will work as far as a good balanced diet. No point exercising if you just fuelling yourself with the wrong type of foods and liquids. Seek a good nutritionist to study your eating habits, and then follow their advise and guidence to eating and drinking properly. Then just do 30 mins of exercise a day that raises your heartbeat to make you sweat. Thats the problem with most weight problems.. its not the lack of exercise, its the amount of calories and the type that you consume! Did you know a pint of beer has approx 200 calories of which most are simple sugars (carbs). 200 calories is approximately 20 mins steady cycling. A simple binge drink on a friday night you could consume over 2000 bad calories (simple sugars) - thats nearly 200 mins on a cycle (3 hours!) When you start looking at how many bad calories a product of food has, and you realise how long that takes to work off - it completely puts of off eating bad foods sugary stuff, simple carbs (white bread etc), and forces to to eat right. " I dont want to lose fat mass so I dont need any nutritional information - I know enough. Im not bothered if I lose weight or not. I know that the gym works for me because it has done before. I hate exercise, I find it boring, Id rather be reading but going to the gym 3 times a week and then using a few weights and a series of sit ups worked wonders for my waist and hips last time. My waist really shrank, such a noticable difference. I have lost my level of fitness as I gave it up when the gym closed down and didnt go back, but it didnt half give me more pronounced curves. | |||
