My fitness journey

My fitness journey

The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.

So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

I cant say I'm fit @Ant7 but last 12mths the things that usually bring weight loss just dont, either its age or accountability here, prob both, even got script from dr and put on weight with it haha that was funny

@TAB Hey TABs was starting to worry about you. Even in my fittest days I couldnt not do a burpee .....I dont have the strength in my chest and never will have. Jane Fleming book sounds interesting I will look into that. I have a small courtyard out the back with a HUGE resident blue tongue who makes me run very fast every time I see him lol 😄

I used to use a exercise bike god it made a racket 🙂 and more recently a bike which I would go riding around the streets with son1. That is years ago though ....
