Different types of fit
Jump to: Newest in thread
I'm on a weight loss drive somewhat , at least until my love handles stop laughing at me in the mirror
I'm never gonna be a 6 pack type and that's fine as I'm more strongman build and I like shifting weights in the gym
How does everyone in here take care of themselves body wise ? |

I recently started training at the gym (started in August) and, according to my PT I’m making decent progress.
I’m already down 6kg (12lbs) and losing the stomach. Would I say I’m fit? Not 100% but I’m certainly in a better place than I was this time last year.  |

"I just don’t sit still.

Google Jim Fixx. He literally died jogging.
I'm not risking that. 😮😮"
Bugger. Misread that comment.
I thought it said 'I don't I just sit still' 🤦♂️🤦♂️

"Gym, long walks, I never eat junk food so that helps too never ? Yikes I'm not sure I could go totally without
Maybe once a month...I try to eat as clean as possible "
on all fairness I've been mindless snacking lately but I have quit smoking . I need to start looking at it as a treat again and not a coping mechanism |

I've gone the other way lately and put it on but I'm hoping to at least have lost the extra by the end of the year |

I maintain consistency by engaging in a diverse range of activities each week, such as running, spinning, hot yoga, and strength training at least twice a week. Remember that fat loss largely occurs in the kitchen, driven by creating a calorie deficit through mindful eating. Good luck and enjoy. |

Thing is with weight loss is consistency. Once you get into a routine with food, knowing what to eat etc, it makes weight loss a lot easier. Pair it with exercise and it’ll come off.
And cheat days do work, usually limit myself to something on a Saturday and thats about it.

that's what I'm looking at now where I just do it once a week and limit calories in the meantime |

Since about 45 I’ve focussed on keeping my body and mind strong, fit and healthy so that I can enjoy life into old age rather than aesthetics. So it’s a mix of weights , cardio and stuff I enjoy - boxing, swimming, hiking. I stopped owning cars a couple of years ago that’s really helped. I train around 5 times a week & do a lot of photo walks some days 25K steps |

I got some bag gloves yesterday . Funnily enough I bumped into an ex pro boxer I trained with today and he put me through a mini circuit after I'd done the weights

I don't do much for my health.
I'm trying to eat more meat and veg as my folates and iron are low again.
If you can walk, then do it often.
It's good for your mind as well as your circulatory and lymphatic system. Buy good walking footwear though.
I find the happier I am the more likely I am to eat better and walk more.
I used to do swaps, but now I can't eat a lot of the healthier snack stuff I just limit my chocolate intake.
I still eat it but nowhere near what I used to eat.
Limit your alcohol and wheat products.
Keep thinking positively

I'm not so active anymore however once upon a time I was!
I was more than military fit even when I was 35.. ran circles around the 20 year old lads at the physical for the fire service.
Caught covid and now feel a decade older than I am!
So I watch what I eat! |
