Ha! Nah.. don't need your boys club! :o

Currently running once a week about 3/4 miles which is rubbish.

Hoping to step it up a bit to twice in the week as well as add on some strength stuff.... weights :p

I like doing classes. GymBox has pole classes too which I've enjoyed before. :cool:

Very unfit... considering this time last year I had just completed the Marathon!

I joined GymBox and am booked onto Rave and Pole class this evening.

Over a year since being on a pole so we will see how it goes! :D

Interesting article in The Metro today about protein shakes for women... the article recommends 1g of protein per 1kg of weight... hmm so 65g (will weigh myself later although I never use it as a basis for weightloss) a day.

Will take some photos tonight.

Need to think this log through... I think it will be a mixture of weekly achievements, diet log and articles e.g. the above. So a bit different to the ones you gymrats have.

There really shouldn't be too much difference between male and female nutrition, quantities should vary on bodyweight.

I'd say that 1g/kg is too low to be convenient, 1.5g/kg would be better.

Also, as I'm sure FF will say, there is absolutely no need for protein shakes beyond a convenient and cheap way to top up daily protein intake.

Daly says it takes years of discipline and good genetics to build serious muscle. ‘Women just don’t have the testosterone for it,’ he says. ‘A lot of women talk about toning their legs or bottom but you can’t actually tone a muscle. What toning really means is reducing your body fat percentage and increasing your muscle mass.‘Women freak out at the thought of gaining muscle but that is actually what gives the toned, firm look.

Am I reading this right? Actual good advice published in mainstream press? Mind fully blown.

brb preparing for a world of hardbodies.

PS good to see log. Wanna see how freak in' huge, solid, thick and tight you can get.
 
BB will be doing some classes, typical gym stuff, but I'm thinking of doing a hybrid 5x5 routine based loosely around the SL type of workout. Incorporating all the big lifts, squats, deads, bench, rows, OHP.

I need/want to keep it really simple. However, I won't be able to offer much guidance in terms of form checking except for the few times we may get to train together.

I will be doing a measure of her calorie intake. We do eat well, and despite being fairly inactive we haven't turned into massive blobs. That's mainly because I don't buy **** food - which she loves unfortunately. She's got a sweet tooth and like to eat all that sort of crap. However, I do all the shopping ;)

Unfortunately she's not a fan of eggs :rolleyes: so will have to be cute for getting extra fats and protein into the diet, but even if it means a protein shake, I'm sure we can find one that she enjoys.

Watch this space as you see a couple about to have the biggest fight on an internet forum! :D
 
Avocados and nuts!

Also, don't forget RDLs... :cool:

You can cover the basics of form fairly quickly, mostly focus on spinal stability, external rotation of the femur, and getting those scaps in the back pocket for everything.
 
Hmmm! :p

I'm going to start off with classes at the moment and then in a couple of weeks get a bit more of a routine going.

Last night I went to a class called Rave.

It is basically aerobics on those mini trampolines... and actuality good for your core and stability as you have to focus on not falling off.

You get glowsticks and the music is :cool:

Also did some running and shoulder work in prep for the Pole class, which I found frustrating as I need to re-visit it when I am stronger and leaner and they use stage poles which are not connected to the ceiling... never used them before.
