Thanks so much for the link. Have it bookmarked and will be getting one. It sounds really good as well. I'm willing to try anything at this stage

I used to walk up a big steep hill before and had no problem with it but now I find it hard

That's the way to do it. Walk at a pace between regular distances, e.g. lamposts, then ease off for the same distance.

I find setting your own goals increases motivation too. If you've got a smartphone try downloading the app from endomondo.com. You can track your "workouts", whether it's walking, cycling, running or a number of other sports... and track your own record. It's not 100% accurate but close enough if you're wanting to record your improvements.

Good link TM. I'd heard of these to help the fairer sex when they're in labour but I hadn't thought of other applications.

They can be used to help ease pain on most part's of the body LR,
but they are not recomended in certain case's, ie:- if You have a pacemaker, and other things

quite a few pain management clinics issue TENS machines, they can be highly effective combined with other pain relieving measures. I last used one before my left hip was replaced, it certainly helped and well worth a try.

tosh mate · 01-05-2011, 23:35

any tips on how I can tone up ??
I weigh between 11.5 and 12 stone
and am just under 5'10"

If I were to say that it's a perfectly safe product that I highly recommend and someone with a slightly dodgy ticker were to have some and keel over it wouldn't be ideal.

Ah,the old ephedrine!

Thank you for clearing that up!

The old ephedrine plus caffeine to offer a slightly wider based kick and aspirin or similar to slow down the body's compensatory responses to the stimulant.

It was also slower than the kilo that had a fairly steep hill in it .... and I hate hills!!

Good advice, but if i was to listen to my body i'd get nothing done lol
