Made a New Year Resolution to lose 4.4kg by end of January to get to 88kg. My Type 2 Diabetes has been in remission for 2 years now and weight has come down from an all time high of 146 kg. Weekly, I am doing 5 x 30 min sessions in the morning along with an average of 40 mins weights and three after...

Thank you all. Rowing has been a key part of it for me. I continue to do 4-6 hours a week. This is the last one I filmed on Saturday.

Thanks all.

Super impressed. A couple questions: 1) how tall are you? 2) did you get injured at all over the past yr? 3) how are you managing the 10-12 hrs/wk of exercise on your body both injury wise and fatigue wise? I am doing 5-6 hrs a week, 51 yrs old, down 10 kg with at least 15 to go, so your example is...

Just posted up using Imgbb with a new thread, but only thumbnails work.

Before & after training & diet change…one year of diet only and then another year with exercise, cardio consisting of mainly rowing for 9 months and then weight training added. Down from 146kg to 92kg with a target weight of 85kg. Waist size down from 46 inches to 34 inches so far. Top size down fro...

It helps to burn the glucose directly and transport it into the muscles without insulin. Reducing carbohydrates in the diet helps also much for T2D and overweight, as the hormonal reaction of the body to food changes and hunger is controlled in a better way. Yep. Well I have come down from an all t...

I have read that short (slow or moderate) 5-10 min workouts immediately after lunch (after each eating generally) are good. Yes, just a walk is good, I try to do that within 30 mins of eating.

This week’s training to keep my BG levels steady and weight loss going… Monday AM 45 min HR Zone 2 rowing session Monday PM 10 min elliptical trainer + 65 min weights session at gym (chest / triceps) Tuesday AM 30 min HIIT rowing session Tuesday PM 10 min elliptical trainer + 60 min weights session ...

Great to see others similar.

It would be quite difficult to lose 30kg’s without dietary change.

It’s now been a year since I started exercising and built it up over the months. Rowing is my preferred cardio, but I have now starting a split programme each day with cardio in the morning and resistance training in the afternoon. I use my concept 2 at home in the morning and go to a gym in the aft...

Thanks, goal is to get to 85kg and continue training.

I have been doing a mix of training for the past year now. My cardio is 90% rowing and I do 3 sessions per week at home. 2 x 60-80 min at heart rate zone 2 and one HIIT session at 40-50 mins. So roughly 3 -4 hours a week. I go to the gym to do resistance training 3-4 days a week depending on how I f...
