Dr Gloom 21915 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 just did four tabata circuits with kettlebells. highly recommended for burning fat while maintaining lean muscle mass. it's basically a form of high intensity interval training either using weights or body weight excercises. more info here: http://tabatatraining.org/?p=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 That's me in for my third Great North Run. THIS will be the year that I do my training by actually running. Outside. Over long distances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonamental 0 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Blazing a trail. Got to admit I felt like a girl putting 30kg on the power bar instead of 70-80kg like normal but pleasantly surprised with how it works. I haven't tried that whole time under tension thing with the top end of what I can bench but doubt I'd get more than one or two reps. That's what I do normally! Although only just starting again and there's sod all of me (5'8'', 10st5), but still. Did my first 5k in a year on Tueday. 27.47. No idea how shit that is really. But managed to take it down by 40 seconds last night. Felt completely fucked afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mwhahaha. Seems a good success rate amongst the people I know who applied this year. I didn't get in through the ballot last year but got a charity place. Probably still do it for charity this year anyway, if I can decide on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 4725 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 13 stone 13.5 pounds of gorgeousness. Half a stone off so far and 3 weeks to lose another 7 pounds for my 1st March Target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ".5" pounds seemed VERY dubious to be. Led me and my inquisitive mind to investigate..... Either congratulations are in order for just managing to get yourself from obese to overweight, or you're rounding down from 14 stone to achieve it and lying to yourself. Keep it up, good luck with the target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it up, good luck with the target. I've just put 196 into the first random bmi scale that google provided and that would still be under 30 Not that Im bothered about BMI at the minute. In a couple of stones time I might look at all that a bit more seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I really don't get the bmi thing, according to it i'm 26.4 which makes me overweight which i'm not, i'm under 18% bodyfat apparently. Guess it's alright for a basic guide if you're out of shape and looking for a guide of what kinda weight you should be, but it can't make sense if you're athletic like While the formula previously called the Quetelet Index for BMI dates to the 19th century, the new term "body mass index" for the ratio and its popularity date to a paper published in the July edition of 1972 in the Journal of Chronic Diseases by Ancel Keys, which found the BMI to be the best proxy for body fat percentage among ratios of weight and height; the interest in measuring body fat being due to obesity becoming a discernible issue in prosperous Western societies. BMI was explicitly cited by Keys as being appropriate for population studies, and inappropriate for individual diagnosis. Nevertheless, due to its simplicity, it came to be widely used for individual diagnosis, despite its inappropriateness. BMI provided a simple numeric measure of a person's thickness or thinness, allowing health professionals to discuss overweight and underweight problems more objectively with their patients. However, BMI has become controversial because many people, including physicians, have come to rely on its apparent numerical authority for medical diagnosis, but that was never the BMI's purpose; it is meant to be used as a simple means of classifying sedentary (physically inactive) individuals, or rather, populations, with an average body composition. Seems the highlighted bits are key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is useful as a guide if you are totally out of shape. But the fitter you become the less useful it is. Muscle is heavier than fat so a 16st 5' 10" bodybuilder with 10% bodyfat would show with a high BMI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21915 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 i've said this a million times on here but bodyfat percentage is the best way to measure how in or out of shape you are, not weight. generally speaking, around 10% or less is athletic/lean. between 15-20% is healthy, over 20% is over weight and over 25% is obese. claiming to have lost half a stone in a couple of weeks is no indication at all that you have improved fitness or body composition. there's every chance CT is now sporting the "skinny fat" look. by starving himself and burning any muscle he might have had, his moobs and beer belly will almost certainly look worse. and his health won't have improved in the slightest. particularly as the weight will be back on within a couple of months. i'd be surprised if CT's bodyfat isn't over 25% going on what he posts on here.

Dr Gloom 21915 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 that's for men i should add. essential fat for men is 5%. i think for women it's much higher - around 12% or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Face 29 Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I don't get how you calculate body fat without mushing your entire body into a centrifuge...which would seem to negate the health benefits of improving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
