If I simply clean up my diet by cutting out the fast food, bread & carbs, chocolate, crisps & beer the weight comes off easily without having to follow plans

Briefs look good. Not sure the chest guard is necessary though. Early April Yorkshire wickets won't get up above thigh high even if you bang it in half way down.

Gents, what are your thoughts on kettlebell swings for stamina and aerobic capacity? I hate running and swimming doesn't do it for me either. Do kettlebell swings provide a good substitute for running?

Best way to improve aerobic capacity - interval training. Do that using the exercise type you like best!

Kettlebells certainly get your heart rate going!
Keep your reps up to 20 or so and it feels like I've tried to run a three!ha

3rd week as a vegan!, and regular workouts
My work shirts getting tight on the arms! And a co worker I've not seen for a few months commented on my weight loss

Have lost 6kg in just over month,with a bit of help from the blood sugar diet. The diet advocates exercise, plus ideally 10000 steps a day,which is more than you think -about 7k.
For the last couple of weeks the weight loss seemed to have stagnated a bit- then spent a couple of days in London where I literally walked everywhere- came back 2kg lighter. It's a fairly long road ahead of me,but some good progress has been made!

Wow ...  just catching up with this thread.

Personally I have maintained my 3 PT sessions a week and I can definitely feel my strength, endurance and recover are drastically improved.

I have however not really dropped any significant weight... I seem to fluctuate between 103 - 105 kg even if I weigh my self at the same time every day.

I can see my upper body getting bigger and my calf’s have more definition than I have seen ever but I still struggle to feel positive when the man boobs and tummy just don’t look like they are shrinking.

Diet is definitely holding me back so i’m Going to have to address it plain and simple.

Christmas challenge:

10 15kg medicine ball over the shoulder drops (wood chopper)
10 full push ups
10 burpees with a bar jump to the left and right in between
10 squats with an overhead bar lift with 30kg
10 alternate leg lunges (5each leg)

That’s my PTs Christmas challenge, best time wins. Ladies use a 10k ball and an empty bar 20kg)

So that’s 50 reps with the translation in between to get right... i’m currently Top of the leader board!

What time would you back yourself to get?

Another 3.5lb off this week.

3st 9.5lb off in total.

Would like to have at least 4 stone off before Christmas leaving around 4.5 stone left to shift after Christmas.

Last Friday we had to do 100 thrusters with a 30kg bar, 5 burpees on the minute every minute until the 100 reps were done. It took me 15.39 to do it. I was completely ruined after it. We then had to do another 25 mins of the session.

The trainers Dad has got cancer and has been helped by a local charity to get some bits and pieces for him. The trainer wants to do something in return to raise some money for the charity. He collared me this morning and i've now stupidly agreed to do a half marathon in february!!
