get in shape

How many calories does everyone burn in an average gym session?

Does anybody have any excercise tips on how to get thighs like beyonce?

Thanks!

Has anybody found that weight training after cardio helps with weight/fat loss and toning?

Who wants to join in the challenge??!

In a week at the gym can you…

Use the Cross Trainer for 250 Mins?

AND/OR…

Use the Rowing Machine for 100 Mins?

I’m gonna try and do it.
Does anybody do it already?
Anybody wanna try?

This week at the gym…

439.16 Mins
3602.2 Calories

Overall…

Rowing Machine = 75.13 mins and 676.8 Calories
Cross Trainer = 121.13 mins and 1129 Calories
Treadmill = 112.11 mins and 696.4 Calories
Bike = 28.33 mins and 263 Calories
Bike (Resistance) = 73.26 and 465 Calories
Stairmaster = 27.27 and 414 Calories

Any comments let me know!

Oh, and forgot to add…(to the comment below)

Does anybody know why you burn so many calories on the stairmaster than anything else?

Because I’m burning about 20 every min. Whereas on most other things it ranges between 8-13 calories per min.

Some confusion over this as some people think I’m talking about 2 pedals which you move with your feet, I have one at home and I think they’re called a stepper??

But anyway…The one I’m talking about is the big high thing at the gym with the 3/4 rotating steps – Just like a mini escilator.

Does anybody use these? If so how long for? There was a guy at my gym that must have been on it for at least 45 mins! I thought that’s impossible – Just wanna know if it’s just me?

I use it for 10-15 mins, on a fat burning program which really changes the speed every few seconds.

Can anybody help?? x

Glute machine.

When I use it I can only really feel the effect in the back of my leg, not really my bum.

Do you have to feel your muscle has been worked to know it’s actually toned that part of you?

Thinking of buying some dumbbells for a home workouts. Is 1.5kg heavy enough for dumbbells?

Also thinking about buying a new book…

Smart girls do dumbbells – or something like that…

Anybody know if it’s any good? I think it’s quite new?

Did you know…

If you wanna look a little more toned before a night out just take a hot shower and then just turn to cold…Gradually!!

It tenses all of your muscles and makes you look slimmer.

Can’t remember where I read this, but I think it works and makes you feel more awake in the morning, also makes you warmer when you get out of the shower!
