Create a health/weight loss/fitness thread for the new year?

[Brynglas]

My January routine is a 10,000 kettlebell swing challenge, works out at around 300-350 kettle bell swings a day. Great cardio and strength workout that gets me ready for what is usually my first ski trip in February. It's much easier on the knees than running and I can get a useful workout in a relatively short period of time.

1800 swings done do far this year/ month so a way to go yet.

It's getting late for this too be counted as new year, you guys up for starting a thread now? I've already started trying to get some weight off and get fitter again and I'm sure that there's a few others as well

Just as soon as i finish this large tub of Celebrations i'm on it.

Ha ha, good point Stevie, get them knocked back and then start


10,000 Kettlebell swings!! that's good going, i've never done it, I presume you approve of the exercise...

 

[Brynglas]

They're great tools, particularly if, like me, you're in your 'late 20's' (cough).

You're going against nature, if I'd been meant to be able to bend over and touch my toes I'd have evolved with feet on my knees.

Oi !
I'm a little fat lady these days, and I can still touch my toes. Can't see them unless I bend over right enough

I'm trying Doc's eat a little less move a little more EALLMALM, and have quietly taken off over another half a stone since December.
Himself does the 5:2 thing to keep his (congenital) BP stable, and while I'm not for starving two days a week, I'll live on a lot less than usual on those days and see how it goes.

Exercise is a problem; my joints ache, I have R.A. and right now my shoulder feels like it's got some demented wee devil shoving a red hot pitchfork into it

I think the 5:2 has potential
