getting fit

[UncleBob]

Well, this thread has been a good one, so I'll bite I had a "hobby" which kept me in pretty trim condition up until my mid-twenties, but between getting out of that particular activity and the demands of work and night study, I lost fitness.

Coming back in a big way this year, though. I've been working back up (carefully) during the summer, and now it's thirty each of squats, sit-ups and press-ups to start the day, plus plenty of walking and some jogging. A visit to a physio sometime soon to see about the knees, and then it'll be onto one of the many good gyms in the city. I see some appealing 'boot camp' classes around town

Bootcamps, yes, I have to say I love the idea !!!

I am very proud and I think I would do anything what is required of me there, out of the fear of being ridiculised in public.

Thanks for the reminder

Thanks for that I am taking up the "hobby" again too.

I wholeheartedly agree on 'grabbing life'. It's the one piece of advice that elderly friends and relatives consistently give, and it's a good one. You only have one life, so why not make the most of it?

You are totally right, you will push yourself harder when in a group as you feel like you need to keep up with the rest. I am very fit(bragging ) but I push harder when I know I am being watched. And the good thing about a club or a group is everybody is in the same situation and everyone will encourage you. You will not only lose weight, but your confidence will improve, and you will make friends, once you get going it becomes addictive and you won't want to miss your training sessions

Hi, Warmcome..think I`ve been to the gym since I was born..lol...just keep goin x Milla

i lost the few pounds i had gained during last winter,
the frost led to idleness, too much cake and i gained @ 4 kilo.

i walked a lot for a couple of months and lost most of that.
i don't feel fit-does fit have a feeling?

how would you become fit? i used to run a mile on the
track, but it feels like you're dying sometimes
