Yep, I'm having problems with the belly too, it has reduced but not hugely. Around the sides haven't had much change. I'm only doing crunches at the moment.

I started jogging today in the glorious sunshine; where is the best place to get some decent running shades online, wasn't sure where else to post this. Does anyone know of any good sites.Comment

Its always last to go round the belly....
My weekly weigh in today and I've made it under 15 stone. Probably for the first time in 18 months. Fantastic!Comment

Awesome, awesome, awesome.
When I started with the PT she got me doing interval training. I could only manage 5 intervals without feeling like I was about to keel over and die. Made it to 11 intervals today.
That whole positive feedback cycle thing has kicked in for me now.
Plus the various exercises she's got me doing to strengthen the muscles around my dodgy knee are really paying off - it's soooo much better.
Happy days!Comment

Wanted to leave it a week to reply to see if I held up. Thanks for the advice sanchez.
It has been going fine so far. Same routine but I've just extended on what I was eating. Dropped four pounds which is okay.Comment

I've started working out over the last couple of weeks and while I'm definitly fitter from the jogging etc I'm finding it really difficult to gain muscle. I haven't really changed my diet but from next week I plan on supplementing it with more high protein foods like chicken and cheeses. A friend also recommeded creatine now I've heard that it can have some really horrid side effects most of which I'm sure are bull**** but you can never be to careful I guess. Any advice ?Comment

Any idea if doing just pushups will carve out a chiselled physique, and if yes, how many are we looking at?Comment

Um... Eventually. If you do lots of different types (wide stance, close stance, incline, decline etc.) and a lot of them. AFAIK you can use push ups to train your chest, triceps, upper back and to a lesser extent biceps.Originally posted by Kit View Post
You will have to do a lot if that is all you are going to do though but any amount is better than none!Comment

A couple of weeks isn't very long. Don't worry about creatine and all that stuff for the moment.Originally posted by Fargo View Post
Just keep going for a few more weeks and be sure to measure everything now so you can really see the difference, otherwise you are just left with how much weight you are pushing as your reference. I'm presuming you are working all the muscles you want to grow around 3 times a week pretty hard. Jogging could slow down the muscle growth, but that's not a good reason to stop jogging because your heart is the most important muscle!Comment

Not sure of the best place to buy (halfords?) but Bloc make excellent cheap sunglasses. A pair of stoats would server you well, although if you do running in low light conditions, you'll need polarising lenses or go for yellow (my choice).Originally posted by Miguel007 View PostComment

Wider stance with your arms should increase the pull on your chest.Comment
