Apart from that it's mainly been hard work at OP Lifestyle fitness in JLT. 2-3 interval training sessions per work and i don't stop until I've hit 1000 calories burned at each session.

I recently switched from cardio training to simple moves with heavy weights (check out the stronglifts app) - completely changed everything. Well worth trying if you stall on the cardio.

It's all about genetics. I'm half lizard and keep the snake head in my boxers.

Let's say i lift 10 reps, wait 45 seconds and repeat 10 times. Do i enter 3 mins of weights or 11 min?

Genetics! Plus of course your state of hydration, metabolism and how hard you're working.

And as for Fitbits and the like -- proven that they're usually way-off in determining calorie burn.

There's also scientific evidence that exercise doesn't have a huge impact on weight loss: a 6-pack is made 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym.

Watch this space.

If you can master a few Olympic lifting moves it will really help , i don't do more than 6 types of lift and will always front that with a run/bike/swim option .
