Diet & exercise buddy needed for 2014 :)

Thanks everyone!

I've written down the exercises they do and how many times etc so might give it another go without the video.

I think I just find it really demotivating watching them doing it so easily and I'm an exhausted sweating mess after 5 minutes!!

Hi All, do you mind if I join in also ?
I am in need of some serious weight loss, I have just bought a treadmill yesterday so I have started using that.
I did 15 mins yesterday evening and I have done 15 mins so far today
I am aiming to do at least half hour tonight.

I need some inspiration so hopefully joining in will help
Thanks Sammy

Bodyweight exercises - press-ups, pullups, squats, lunges, that kind of thing. Look up the NHS Strength & Flex program

I'd love a gym buddy but would just make myself feel really demotivated when I can barely run for 60 seconds and everyone else is running at like 10km/h for 30 mins+.

Not everyone hun... and it all takes time! If you are just getting back or into getting fit/eating better don't be so tough on yourself. It is never easy and you will have to work hard, but that's why it will be so much more rewarding x
