I started off my first few months doing follow along workouts by a guy named Bullyjuice on youtube.Decided that I needed to do a bit more, I walk to and from work in the region of 4.6 to 5.3 miles a day with a 9-11kg rucksack at a fair lick, however I decided that my upper body was getting weak, so like a fool I had a go at the marsoc short card. I couldn't make all the reps but gave it a go. One to persevere with
Another skater, joy!, I’m continuing with my skating lessons.
Weight training is anaerobic exercise it doesn't provide good cardio exercise... To do that you have to raise your heart rate up to between 70-80% maximum heart rate (220 - your age)I'm a complete novice mate you'd probably laugh if you saw me but I would say youre pretty good to go with dumbbells and a pull up bar. You can get some good strength and cardio in just using them.
Also consider bodyweight strength training as a good place to start. Minimal equipment and space needed and construct a workout around what you CAN do for now.
Cardio is the hard bit.
But theres all sorts of ways you can get around it.
A good start could be doing what i think are called supersets where you do your sets between different exercises without rest and only rest when youve done 1 set of all the exercises.
That will get you panting. Also if you target the same muscle group in a couple of the different exercises one after another, thats supposed to be really good for building muscle, gets a good pump on.
Like i said though im just beginning, i live by "if in doubt, get google out"
Or youtube it.
So far so good though
Ive recently started pushbiking to work, wind blowing in my face all the way there, gets to the top of this hill, huffing and puffing...
Some lycra clad OAP comes cycling up from behind me, seemingly out of nowhere and says "Morning mate, hard work init!"
Then casually zoomed off like it was nothing i couldve swore at him if it wasn't so funny.

Just as a guide for those who don't know or know very little about different types of fitness.
Max Heart Rate = 220 - Your Age
Fat Burning = 60-70% max HR
(Long Walks 45mins + at approx 3mph)
Cardio-Vascular = 70-80% max HR
(Running, X-Trainer, Cycling, etc 45mins+)
Do those exercises minimum 2-3 sessions a week
Weight Training = Good all round body toning and strength..High Calorie Burn if your session is 2hrs +
Fat Burning and CV exercises are Aerobic none explosive actions.
Weight Training is Anaerobic with explosive movements.
For those that can.
Doing a mixture of all 3 will give you the best all round fitness and mobility.
And watch your daily calorie intake.
The average person only requires between 1500-2000 calories per day.
One 48g Snickers bar for instance is 244Kcal.... A McDonalds Big Mac on its own is over 500Kcal.
It soon mounts up if you aren't literally watching what you eat.
To lose weight you need to be in calorie deficit without starving yourself.
To maintain weight you have to find your personal calorie intake balance.
To gain weight.. Eat the contents of your pantry and sit and watch daytime TV
Are you going to get a competition outfit? They look so coolI wouldn’t go that far!
I’m keeping it quiet in here as I suspect a lot of members would mistake me for Bambi and I’d end up in a pot over an open fire in semi permanent camp.

I did say it was only a guide.. Most individuals on here aren't serious athletes.One point to note about heart rate training is that different exercises are different in terms of training zones and maximum heart rate.
For example for the same level of effort your HR gets higher when running than cycling. Indeed its quite possible to be unable to achieve the highest zone when cycling.
Also, there's so many issues with 220 minus age (200 minus age for women traditionally) that if you're serious about training with hr then investment in a professional assessment to find your VO2 max, max hr, etc might be worth it.
Or simply learn RPE levels instead. For example when I did try to take up running I kept in zone I needed to by every so often singing out loud. You can readily tell the zone by how easy that is and whether I need to ease off or push on a bit. Possibly a better gauge of effort.
