Hi have seen this advertised on ideal worls for £199 and called power tonic, although the original power plate is over £2000, has anyone bought this and seen a difference in their shape. There are a lot of cheaper models and even argos has one for sale, the instructer on ideal worls said your only allowed 10 minutes every other day on the machine, and it does seem to work a large part of ...

I am confused and wondered if someone could just explain this one thing please? I understand that when you exercise you should measure your body as well as weigh yourself because muscle is heavier than fat and you could lose inches but gain a few pounds now and then (that's defo right yeah?) But what I don't understand is what happens. Do you keep getting heavier and heavier because ...

Aaargh! Please can someone give me some help and a kick up the backside? I have never been a "sporty" type, I was rubbish at everything sports/fitness related at school, and since then have managed to get into exercise on and off, but never totally enjoying it. I really want to get fit, to lose a little bit of weight but mainly for my health, my Dad just narrowly missed out on having a ...

Hello! So I have wanted to do a half-marathon and eventually a marathon for the longest time but have always been scared of the running machine! I had an asthma attack when I was 15 or so after doing the 1800 metres at school which pretty much put paid to any running. So, I got on the treadmill a couple of weeks ago and was able to run (well jog - VERY slowly 7 km/h which I know ...

Then cross trainer for 10 mins (was my first day, exhausted) Loved it. Im going to be doing it 3 times a week, Mon, Wed and Fri. Plus im going to start eating healthier. I have 3 stone to ...

Hi Everyone, I've popped over from 'The Bar' for a bit of advice on how to shift cellulite. I'm 5' 10 weight just over 10st and I'm a size 10 just to give you all some idea. But I have the dreaded cellulite from my bum down to my knees, and we're not talkiing just a little bit. My legs look like they're someone elses and my knees are just huge and wobbly. The rest of me is toned. I ...

Has anyone got all of them? I've got the Ultimate Challenge one which I think is great, and just bought the new Cardio, Core and Stretch one which I haven't done yet, but have flicked through it and it looks SO similar to Ultimate Challenge. It was only £4 so I'm not too bothered, it'll make a bit of a change but I'm wondering whether to buy one of her other ones, but obviously don't want to ...
