The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

[Red_hot]

Anyone got any??

Think we should have a thread to share our experiences/tips with other members.

I'll start. I started running a couple of months ago and I am loving it. Up to 5k now and doing the 5k in Liverpool on May 5th for The Stroke Association. Started out doing interval training. Run 1 min, walk 2 and built it up like that. Struggled to walk for a minute at first and now I can run 40! Out tonight and I can't wait. Running makes me feel great, have lost a dress size, toned up and got fitter.

What's everyone else been doing?

Oh, and today I bought a Shake Weight. You know those things that make you look like you're giving someone a wank? Bingos will soon be history. Alex Gerrard said so.

Oh, and my diet tip for today is flaxseed. Sprinkle over cereal/stirfrys etc

As you are doing things for the "Stroke Association" you can play with my "Shake weight"

Tip of the day. Eat less calories than you burn.

This was my weight loss routine when I shed 3 stone:

Breakfast: Oats with soya milk and one scoop of whey protein

Snack: Yoghurt

Lunch: Tuna sandwich OR Salmon Omelette

Snack: Apple and cottage cheese

Dinner: Salmon/Chicken/Turkey with brown rice and vegetables.

Late Snack: Oat and banana smoothie.

Exercise: 3 days of HIIT sprints for 15 mins. 3 days of 5k gentle running on alternate days. Press-ups, situps and leg squats on each day.

On my rest day, I have a cheat. This means I binge on everything sweet and fattening. Absolute boss.

You definitely have to have a cheat day or you'd just get fed up! I like your menu, some good ideas there! How'd you make the oat and banana smoothie? Well done on the weight loss!!
