    HELP!!! How to lose that belly?

    I think that when you get into that routine with your diet and exercise, you find it very easy to stay in shape (that's if you're doing it right of course). The reason why most people fail is because they can't get through that first couple of weeks where it really is a shock to the system but...

    What Do You Think Of My Diet?

    Oh and 3500 - 4000 calories a day! I would find that pretty tough, for sure. I'm actually at my skinniest at the minute because of all the winter training, but I do tend to bulk up a little more in the summer. Heres a picture from the start of the cross country season where I'm slightly more...

    What Do You Think Of My Diet?

    Ha Ha, yeah that little scrawny thing next to me is actually quite quick over the longer distances and always gives me a good race, but I pipped him to the top of that hill! That race was actually a 4000m X-Country County (State) Championship and I finished 9th (I think my time was something...

    What Do You Think Of My Diet?

    Cheers Robert! I might as well eat and train like a pro athlete because I'm sure gonna be one, and not just anyone either; a London 2012 Olympic Gold medalalist! That's my dream and that's what keeps me motivated....Anyway I'm actually a bit taller than you guessed, but my Mum and Dad wouldn't...

    What Do You Think Of My Diet?

    I've been reading a few threads here in this section lately about diet and I recognise that there are a few knowledgeable people around (chess99, ano, orangeone). I felt I had a good diet before, no rubbishy fatty foods, but I always used to have a relatively small breakfast, small lunch, and...

    Adidas Porsche Design Tennis shoe anyone?

    I quite like the looks but I doubt any of it performs as well as the usual tennis gear. And adidas making rackets?......Don't think so.

    i need to run the mile in 6 minutes

    I'm sorry, but in my book running 6:00 minute miling for 3 miles should not be too much of a struggle for any fit male. I'm 14 years old and, admittely I train 5 times a week, but I can run a 10k (6.2 miles) in around 35 minutes. So a fit, 25 year old should not have a problem running half the...

    who is the worst bbc commentator?

    Andrew Castle sort of gets ignored by the other commentators especially when he asks them stupid questions that just do not need an answer. And it's funny after the match when Sue analysis it with the commentators she never asks Castle anything, he's just stuck at the back trying to but in!

    New Adidas on TW

    I've pre-ordered the YOC peachy colour top and the black shorts from a british website (for almost double the price!) and they should be arriving in early Jan. I'm really pleased with my order especially now I've seen these pics, I hope the shorts are as long as they look in this pic because...

    CC Feather III are here!

    Don't know whether anyone has seen or heard anything about this shoe yet but I have pics. There is also an all black colourway to come out and you can see pics of that colour on tennis direct online.com. I think that the 2s were better looking than this shoe, they kind of look like the A3s. Any...

    Developing bigger muscles and endurance

    I would suggest purchasing a swiss ball then do some research into what exercises you can do; there are plenty of websites about. The specific exercises I would suggest you do are jacknives, planks, trunk extensions, leg raises and hip raises (with your weight on one elbow). I do this and I feel...

    Federer very lucky to win all 4 of his slam titles last year!

    So in the A.O he had 2 or 3 close scares and in all other slams (apart from French) he had maybe one close game. I think you should look at past slam winners and see how many just cruised through the tournament; you won't find many. What Federer has done is set his level so high that if he drops...

    Strange...

    The thing about weight lifting stunting your growth is completely untrue! Doing quite light weights with high reps is actually very good for teenages... don't be put off by myths like these. As long as you are lifting sensibly with correct technique you will not get injured.

    Does under armour feel good?

    I have both under armour and nike pro long sleeved shirts and personally i prefer nike pro. It fits tighter, meaning it feels just like a second skin and feels more comfortable than the under armour. However I would try both because these things are just about personal preference...

    My highlight reel

    Yeah I agree that it looks like he's taking it easy with his mate, bit like when Roger play's with most of the tour! You obviously have game and I enjoyed your vid a lot but people shouldn't even try to rate you from that type of video. BTW where did you put your camera for that sort of court...

    back strengthening exercises

    http://www.askmen.com/sports/fitness_top_ten/36_fitness_list.html Number 10 is a great excercise for your lower back. If I was you though I would work on not just your lower back but your abs, abductors/aductors, glutes, quads in other words your core. This will greatly improve your tennis...
