    C25K beginners - struggle with W1D1

    Thank you IrishMum!!! At least I know it is possible. I think I will try slowing down overall and jogging every second cycle. I am running outdoors - no gym membership at the mo and I thought the fresh air would help. The route I tried was quite hilly as well - I should probably have aimed to...

    A little help..

    Your bf is correct Winter - muscle tissue burns more calories than fat at rest - but remember it also weighs more that fat tissue - i would recommend taking your measurements and going by that if you plan to tone up a lot rather than just watching the scales (which might be disappointing if you...

    Hi all newbie looking for comments on EA Active sports comments

    I have both wii fit and EA Sports. EA sports is more serious and gives you a much better workout - the calories burnt are about the same but you feel more like you have been doing something on EA.

    Wii Fit & EA Sports Active anyone??

    Woodsylou - its about £25-30 for the game and it comes with the stuff you need - a strap for around your leg for the nunchuck and resistance bands. I will say - I have fallen off the wagon with 30 day challenge - but did lots of physical work in the garden at the weekend so not feeling too...

    How many?

    There are some online calculators which would tell you for your weight and height how many calories you should aim for a set target. I'm new and I don't think i am allowed to post links yet - but try googling "free weight loss calculator" or something similar. Good luck

    Does anyone still use curves?

    Its great if you have not excercised before or are out of shape. And you change excerises quickly so if you don't like one excerise you know you dont have long before you move on. I go for a one month membership every now and again to shape up a bit. I can't really afford to go all the time -...

    Hi all Thanks to you all for the warm welcome and supportive words. Becky - nice to meet a fellow wii fan!! My faves are boxing and hula hoop. I find the yoga and muscle training quite hard at the moment - not sure if I will ever be able to do "tree" or "jackknife" (I just do crunches...
