Tweedledee Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Around town I can sometimes manage to do the mile in as little as 2 minutes, and find it less strenuous if I use the cruise control Cazz and BAZ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I did athletics at school and clocked: 100yds 11.8 secs 1/5 mile (yes, really!) 54 secs 440 yds 63 secs 880 yds 2 mins 38 secs mile 5 mins 52 secs These days I just walk lunchtimes and with my dog but then I'm 6!. I recently did 17 283 steps in a day while away on holiday. Biggest barrier to exercise is time. It has to be balanced with work, family activities and astronomy.

philjay Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 Used to do 200 miles a week on push bike, touring and commuting not too many years ago. Century rides were common place and I was a keen off roader. 2013 saw the end to all that after consultant telling me I was almost the fittest guy in the cemetery.

Daz Type-R Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I've been doing that for the last 6 weeks, lost 11 lbs so far, got another stone to loose to get to my ideal weight. M. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parklife2uk Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Anybody else looking to shed a few lbs before the year is up? Me! We're doing the Santa Fun Run (5K) at the beginning of December as a family and so have started training. Got worried at the start as my weight was 16 st and at 5'10" I think I need to shed a few pounds! Finding it hard pounding the streets....

A few years back I was touching 18 stone at your height, now I'm a tad over 13st, I found the cross trainer was a good start to shifting the timber lol Try running on grass, I run a lot of road and its started to take its toll on my knees. Good luck with the run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz Type-R Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) You hitting the gym or just dieting? Both, but as other members on here will tell you, I do like my food, i`m eating a proper sized portion of food per meal now (i.e, not enough for 2 or 3 people) and also doing cardio at the gym (in about 90 minutes I burn 600 calories doing cardio alone, the rest of the time is weights), so now im eating properly and exercising, the weights falling off. I`m also contemplating taking my kickboxing up again, had to stop fighting in the ring for health reasons but may take up the training again, just don't do the competitions ETC?

Cazz Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 And me, but it's a long slow road with the battle of taking different medications, one that not only increase my appetite, but one that also takes my energy away. But it's all going in the right direction! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I have to be realistic about things like weight loss and exercise. Since getting my new job, I am working harder and I just don't have as much spare time. More exercise would mean less sleep, less family time and, worst of all, less astronomy. I'm just hoping to lose the weight I gained this year, maintain my walking level and cut down a bit more on sugar. I will be monitoring things like sleep, depression and stress levels.

Regular exercise when done safely has only positive benefits Phil. The literature is very supportive of regular exercise reducing levels of stress and supporting the alleviation of depression (as an adjunct to other therapy) and improves sleep cycle.
