Hello all.

Just a stab in the dark. Is anyone taking part in the mens health survival of the fittest this year in London on the 17 November?

Very much considering it...

I have decided to enter this year. Thankfully, have a while to train. Has anyone else done one previously?

Out of interest, what kind of workouts are people doing on a daily basis?

Bought myself a rowing machine a couple of weeks ago (thank you overtime!) and using it is a lot tougher than I imagined! I'm pretty fit as it is but I really feel my legs working whilst I'm using it. Worth a try if you've never used one before.

For anyone looking to start off with some simple exercise, I found this website really helpful;

http://newbie-fitnes...ripped-5x5.html

It's a bit wordy but it explains stuff in simple terms without getting overly complex. It's a good way to start exercise and it can be done without a gym if you've got about £80 to shell out for equipment, a lot cheaper than a gym membership.

I thoroughly recommend UFC Trainer for the XBOX Kinect. It's a hell of a varied workout. I lost about 25lbs doing that and eating healthy.

I have heard alot regarding the insanity workout package recently. Done abit of research and it does look very good indeed. Although it needs to be as the price ranges from £100-£140.

I used to do 100/200 metres when I was at school. I'm much more interested in 5000/10000 metres now though. Much more strategy in it rather than just blatting around the track.

odd one this, just did about 46 miles on the bike, went for a pint of cola on the last stretch home to break up the nightmare bank. and my left arm at the top was twitching, like pulsating, legs fine, but i could feel it moving and it looked odd. freaked me out a little, any fitness types know what the Devil was going on!?

Same here, need to lace up the runners again. But for tonight it is interval training using a skipping rope and a kettlebell.

I will be rejoining the gym near where I work on Tuesday. I need to get back to somewhere with equipment, doing it at home just isn't cutting it any more.

Well that depends, if you are running it: then probably.

If you are driving it in your car whilst munching on a kfc: then probably not.

I rejoined the gym this week :)

Anyone got any good advice for a training programme to help me lose weight and tone up?

The way I work it is 3 x cardio + 2 x weights sessions per week when focusing on "cutting".

Vice versa for strength and muscle gains.

Cocentrate on cardio, create a calorie defecit from your basal metabolic rate (google will bring up a few calculators to find out your BMR) and clean your diet up :)

Ah so the basic sort of thing. I thought you were talking about something more specific.
