of course!

Went to a Shitness First gym in the gong with a mate, man that place is ballsack. Full of roidies, skinny wanna be alpha’s walking like they have watermelons under their arm pits/puffing out their imaginary chest and a few cute girls.

Think i will stick to my old school type gyms!

I bought myself a skipping rope the other day.

It’s the thought that counts.

Started running again this week. Haven’t done ANY exercise all year. Nothing. It’s safe to say I’m am more unfit now than I have ever been.

Ran 2.5k on Monday and again last night. By the end of it I was hurting big time LOL. Took me about 12-13 minutes too.  red face

Will keep this up a few times a week for the next week or so. Hopefully I’ll be able to start increasing my distances and speed after this.

Signed up for tough mudder in January, so I have some serious work to do before then.

Coach to 5k haha cool. I was just talking to my sister about this, she’s been doing it for a while and she’s twice as fit as the last time I saw her. Go for it Tobi.

Myself, I’m trying to work out every second day and build muscles that support my joint for snowboarding. Also a bit of extra muscle to land on is good I think.
I’m also about to buy a cheap mountain bike to work on my legs. I’m told it’s the best thing you can do to strengthen the muscles to support your knees.

Ha ha my issue is that I don’t stick with the f*&king; program.

I’ll start doing C25K then I’ll stop going to the gym for a while due to work/uni and then I’ll start going back and I’ll start doing weights again instead.

Need to learn to stick with the program and go on a regular basis.

That’s the hardest part, but it’s so important.
