For me as soon as I've finished a work out I then eat and then chill or get things done in the house. But bugger doing that on my break. Yeah I definitely won’t be doing it on my lunch. That’s why I want to minimise workout times so I’m not wasting a lot of time at the gym, and would make it easier to force myself to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I used to train on my break every day. In and out and showered in 45-50 mins. Just have to be focussed and no messing about. I used to like it, get your training done during the working day and it feels like a separate quick shift after the break. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lichtie23 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just been to a “metabolic Monday” class that involved over 200 burpees. 45 minute class that really got a sweat on 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I am a member of another gym in Edinburgh and I’ll usually go for a sauna afterwards and get a coffee, it’s more of a health club than a gym though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Do you rush your food after your workout ? I don’t get a chance to train at my breaks now. I used to could manage to get a shake immediately after and then eat an hour later. It wasn’t ideal but doable. Now I could eat fine at my desk but don’t have a gym nearby so need to train after. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 You all sound like steroid munching maniacs. No way am I ever going to a P+B get together, you'll be comparing pectorals and having roid hissy fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a bannatynes membership, and it allows the use of similar level clubs so I use Newcraighall and Dunfermline. David Lloyd is the best in Edinburgh I think. The one at Newhaven. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How hot is the sauna? The problem I've found with these chain gyms is that they don't crank the sauna and steam room up high enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 First 10 days of the gym membership out the way. 5 visits. 4 involving relatively light weights covering most of the major muscle groups then 30-45 minutes of cardio, 1 session last night was just solid cardio with a 75 minute bike session, keeping the rpm stable but the resistance varying every 20 seconds from low to high and everything in between. Planning on 3 visits a week, will try and do 2 sessions a week with the weights and light cardio and the 3rd being heavy cardio. Not looking to bulk up or increase strength massively, mostly looking to tone up a bit and trim a bit of fat off the belly and waist. Will sporadically keep you all updated, just because. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me as soon as I've finished a work out I then eat and then chill or get things done in the house.But bugger doing that on my break. I used to enjoy going to the gym on lunch and would usually start work half an hour earlier to take a longer lunch so I could get a good hour in.Always found the afternoon would fly in too as opposed to having a heavy lunch and spending the rest of the day fighting off sleep. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moo Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I've not been to the gym in about 3 months now due to work and personal problems, out with my control so not had the energy tbh. I aimed at starting back after new year and mind putting a post up about it but I've not been since ffs. Anyway I'm quite confident in the gym when I'm there but I wouldn't say I'm an experienced lifter or anything but I do know how to perform most exercises with decent form. I do play football on weekends, just amateur level, nothing serious but I was looking at starting a program aimed at benefiting that. Obviously I'd want to aim at getting stronger, faster speed wise and more agile. I've looked online and I've came across many different programs. Some say to just go for compound exercises, some say isolation so not sure what would be better tbh.Anyone have a program on here that they use to benefit themselves for a sport such as football? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
