Just curious, are you the full time carer of your child, or are you working and then caring for your child while your wife is at school?? The reason I'm asking is because what I'm about to tell you is what I always tell friend who says she's got no time to exercise either (she's a full time carer): ...

It really depends on what you were sick from. I've taken a week off every now and then due to work stress, headaches, injuries etc and was able to just jump straight back in it. But when I had to take a fortnight off due to the flu, I couldn't just pick it all back up again. I had to drop weights ba...

Now, I looked over your training routine. You are off to a great start! and I can definitely tell you are working hard! There are a few suggestions I would like to give if you did not mind. I would like to make sure it is ok with you before I post them. That's fine Danny, I need some input because ...

First off, do not be embarrassed about training. We are here to support you, I hope our support will help keep you motivated and help you reach your goals. Thank you :) If you don't mind, I would like some more details on your training, specifically, your lower body days, and your upper body days. ...

In regards to the comment about middle aged women, offensive seriously. Sorry, this isn't meant to be offensive, but most women that age participating are only doing so for their children or for the social side and not much else. I don't enjoy going up against them because I'm trying to be serious ...

Here are two photos. The first I took on January 28th, at that time, I was just about to start getting back into training after having a couple of months off. The second was taken today on the 13th of February. The time between the two was just over two weeks. http://imagecdn.bodybuilding.com/img/us...

I've had almost the same. I've recently bought myself a polar heart rate monitor and it had me at 184 bpm for jogging at 8.5 km/hr for 20 minutes on the treadmill. I think it's normal for me though. I'm not fit, but I'm not unfit either. I had a fitness test years ago and the PT was shocked at heart...

Well I've decided to suck it up and write one of these, so it might (EDIT: has) end up a little long. I'm always embarrassed about letting people know that I'm working out because I used to get a lot of negative reactions from the family for doing it (e.g. dad: "haha, you? going for a run? like...

Stuff the women who look at you weirdly for using weights and not spend hours on cardio machines And stuff the men who get annoyed at you using the free weights You are there for you, no one else I used to go to the gym when I was attending university and I loved free weights. The stick thin girls ...

I'm wanting to know if anyone has ever taken a chance to achieve their sporting dreams? I'm taking a huge risk in 2011 and I'm wondering if anyone has done it, did you succeed or not, and any advice? I originally intended to reduce working hours in 2010 to concentrate on karate. I believed it was y...

(I kept getting error pages too yesterday) These are some of what I do for karate, so a few include legs - repeat all on the opposite side: 1) Left foot forward - Shift in, Left jab, Right straight punch, Shift out 2) Left foot forward - Shift in, Left jab, Right straight punch, Left hook, Right upp...

I'm a bit split between two views on this one. This information is what I received while doing a Physical Education course and recent Fitness certificate (cert III) The mays are because there is no conclusive evidence for or against in the research I was provided. 1. Stretch after your warm up and a...

Ones that I love are V-Sits on a bench so that I can lay out flat without 'resting' Also (what I call) leg and hip raises. Lying flat on your back, slowly lift up your straight legs to vertical, then continue on and lift up your hips off the floor and pushing them towards the ceiling while making su...

If they don't have the information you're after, I'm sure they'll still be able to help you out.

I'm stepping up weight training to 4 days a week alternating upper and lower body rather than 3 days per week of a full body workout. I'm not sure if what I've got planned is too much. I have a tendency to try and push past limits because I really enjoy the feeling of satisfaction when completing a ...
