CarlosDopipi: Hi, It is organised by a new Fitness Industry in Nigeria. The firm that is also trying to bring 'the Biggest Looser Nigeria' programme on HITV. IT is a 5 day a week cardio/strength training programme. Also a lot of advice would be given by Fitness and Health Experts from the UK. It's gonna be fun and its really affordable!!!

CARLOSFITNESS

HITV is in receivership.

They have refused to come out of the woodworks!!

toshmann: Im a Liverpool fan and also a fan of any-team-against-man-u fan
And finally a fan of any-team-against-Chelsea
And a hater of barca, barca fans and messi

My objection is to the Barca/Messi reference,not cos am a total fan but u can only be hate Messi if you are success averse......used to love liverpool till they bought that poo called Suarez.
Any opponent of chelsea,Man-U and Jose mourinho has my undiluted support!

Yesterday,you were all rejoicing that barca lost,who is gonna have nightmares tonight
Two points:
1.Ronaldo needs the champion's league and Euro 2012 to outshine Messi,CL chance has bitten the dust and I don't see Spain,the Dutch and the german machines playing dead at the championship so.......
2.He who laughs last,Laughs best

@HG,
You just dey make my head swell like garri wey dem forget inside water..
You have caught the bug,am stoked!*kiss*

[quote author=Hour_Glass]Has anyone heard of Tabata Training? I weak o

http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/fitness_articles.asp?id=1720[/quote]Yes,its HIIT on drugs.never tried it and certainly don't see myself ever attempting it. Babe,the more you get into this stuff the more you come across.Ciao

agabaI23: You don't eat ogbono soup every day. A little to the right, a little to left and a little to the centre. Legies and squaties are nice stuff ;-) You've been awol by the way.

Naaaah,I dey mark register everyday(though sometimes am in the middle of something and can't post)I've just been lurking cos am adhering to my strict rule of keeping any unpleasant opinion to myself,our thread making the front page brought in different people,some of the comments posted I disagree with and since I don't want to go off on anyone lest I run them off or alienate them,I just siddon look.
My peeps posts on the other hand,I can't ignore.I know my ppl&my ppl know me.

@Freshface,
I really&do sincerely envy your mindset,self control the Lord granted me some(sensible eating+portion control) but the ability to not eat at all and be ok!!! .it takes a lot to eat LESS let alone completely skip meals,My only concern is that how do you make the transition to normal eating without plateauingunless you want to keep it up permanently.

Buchika: am interested on abs/core and by simple i mean something that i can incorporate in to the 45 minutes i allocate to work outs in a day.

There is no real need to isolate your abs/core exercises.what you need basically is just 10mins every other day of PLANKS&LEG RAISES,what basically works your abdominal muscles is full body strenght/weight training.
Have your ever watched all these Abokis/Males that offload heavy duty stuff like Bags of Cement,Rice,building blocks etc in action(especially with their shirts off),if you look closely you'll see their core muscles tensed up and 8 out 10 of them have ripped abdominals which to me is a nice statistics,you can check it out to obtain proof,don't just take my word for it.
One other effective abs/core workout is SPRINTING,its awesome but you might gork while attemptin it

@Buchika,
This is an addendum to what HG has provided,just go with the flow.

agabaI23: Na you did only sit up. You did not get to press up before you started speaking in tongues

I dey as you left me

Silly me,I thot it was squat&leg raises u prefer!


[quote author=Hour_Glass]How did I leave you?

10mins warm up/cool down, 30 mins run/jog on the treadmill, 20 mins on the elliptical trainer, 5 mins sit up/leg raises

I have one more day this week.[/quote]And you,stop distracting me from commenting on your dedication and progress,bravo my bad chick!!

mightlove: hey peeps, I am loving my body. I now believe the best way to lose weight is to do it gradually and tone up with weights while you lose. My body is so firm. My boobs and every other part of my body looks firm. Yes i still have a tummy but it is going gradually and firming up, it doesnt look flabby. I have lost weight in the past but didnt have a toned body because i achieved it through cardio only. Now i know the the importance of strength training as part of a weightloss program.
?

150% on Point,especially on the losing weight gradually part,it is the ONLY way that is guaranteed to be long lasting!

HG&ML,
Osmosis as I know from my elementary biology knowledge is the only Movement that requires no input of ENERGY,The Molecule(Fat)in her body will dissipate into thin air,she just needs to "EXERCISE" faith.
She said she is sad;it gives me UTMOST joy to be @ a plateau since forever!

agabaI23: That's true sweetie. Mody, you know I am a good man. Experience has shown you that
HG, it is not what you think

@Agaba,Gentlemen don't kiss&tell
@HG,I plead the fifth!

@ALL,
How una dey.

@HG&AGABA,
Continue with your love/lust games.HG,when he begin show you his true colours do not come crying to me
@Buchika,
Classic example of "what you sow,you shall reap",you invested time,efforts and willpower,the reward is better health and a leaner frame.well done.
@ML,
Gone are the days of dragging the horse to the stream,the horse is HEAVIER&LESS INCLINED,all you can do is to just offhandedly encourage.
My sis-in-law is in"despair"cos she still looks heavy after 8mths of delivery,I tried o assist,i "helpfully&enthusiastically"prescribed a 30mins daily walking regime coupled with "sensible"eating for the next 3 months.she came back with "Am breastfeeding and Sad"..how does she expect to lose the weight?? By OSMOSIS!!!!

Echala: Lol, dont yall remember when I posted a picture of myself using two tubers of yam as dumbells, this was during the occupy nigeria protests.
The confusion may have come from other threads sha, my wife does some of her postings on 'female threads' using my device (cos I'm always logged on) - could be why hehe

You took the "Yam tuber a la dumb bells"right out of my keypad.

Freshface: Thank u hour-glass. Certainly not new to d weight thingy. I av been a yoyo girl for too long. [b][/b]I'm hoping to lose it this time and maintain it.

@Sweet
You are a funny soul,I know you are joking so I'll plead the fifth.

@THE OLD CARGOES ,
Howdy,Easter was good I believe

@Uche,pls cheer up,don't allow the sadness get the better of you,I hope you know the kind of strenght you possess cos its only ppl with great mental focus&self discipline that live the way we do.it can only get better.

@ML,Health is wealth,without sound health;motivation,discipline e.t.c is not worth Jack.we thank God for this precious gift

@Ronke,
Great substitutes,the reason we set aside time for exercise is cos modern living has changed the way nature designed our bodies to function
*shopping&cleaning days serve as workout days and I don't think twice about it.

@HG,
My paddy to sure,passionate!!

@Agaba,
You are making fun of my girl abi?and I warned her about you.*glaring and searching for the Pankere*

87kg@5'9 wasn't too big to start with,so am seconding HG's initial assessment.a 7kg drop in a month drop is something that is only likely to happen to someone of your height with another 20-30kg on your starting point.
All am waiting for is the poster with the magic formula/portion to WIPE off the remaining 7kg,any taker.
Good luck.

[quote author=Hour_Glass]@ modath did I not predict that guy giving me an incline today,although he did it just once but for like 2 mins, I was dying and it was at 7% incline, mad guy!! *he must not hear that o* and today the cool down was resistance training for 10 mins and another bad stretch for like 3 mins. I don do jo.[/quote] This is a guy after my heart.wish I could just go poof in the air and jus t appear @ your end.pity wishes ain't horses.

*Comic relief*
The yoruba attire; Iro&Buba does not lend itself to a not too overweight body ,my mum stayed with us over the weekend and we went for service together,she sat a distance from me.occassionally I'll catch her staring at me,I paid no mind to it till we got home and she commented that if she hadn't been resident in abuja here and knows am the one *Inflicting*this agony on myself,she'd have just concluded I was miserable and depressed cos my Iro&buba wasn't looking elegant on me.
She asked me to either gain some weight or just stick with my ankara.

@HG,
Bravo for the brilliant start,I'm just gonna ask for a favour,on your treadmill workout:could you indulge me and do a bit of intervals(Not HIIT just some minutes of taking it up a notch)to challenge your body a bit?steady state cardio is good but intervals just take it to another level.
I have found out that the distance I cover with jogging at mid/normal tempo almost wipes me out when am doing intervals,and it never gets easier(I don't do HIIT,what I do is more of MIIT,Fast pace walk downhill and run uphill)wish I could add a bit of sprint as well but i fit turn to cripple
