Gemmill 34998 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I'd wager they had a better diet than you've had throughout your life though - less reliance on processed foods, more meat and two veg type meals. Anyway do some exercise. End off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 27221 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Put on only two pounds after two weeks holiday. Amazed as I ate far more shite during the day than normal plus drunk more often on a night. Was 11 stone, now 11.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get real, there's plenty of reasons why it's hard to get the time to exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And realistically, you do need money. Ridiculous to say there's no excuse not to exercise IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money for a gym membership is just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 I went for what was probably my most enjoyable run ever this morning. 10.77 miles, comfortable pace, a couple of podcasts to listen to. I hope that's earned me the right to slob about and watch football for the rest of the day. And eat. A lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they're in a pram or buggy you go for long walks. If they walk you go for walks/take them to a field and play football/have races on the beach/have dancing competitions in your front room/leave them with grandma or daddy for an hour while you do something active/go on the way home from work/do something while they're at school or nursery.

What about the kettle bells though? I completely agree with you I think (looking after kids IS exercise), but my response was to Dan I think.

Take them for a walk. Play sport with them. Exercise when they're napping/at school/in bed etc etc. Again, there's never really an excuse not to exercise. It basically boils down to whether you can be arsed to make time to exercise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19883 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Obviously I don't advocate exercise if you're not physically able. And CT might not be tbf looking at what he eats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JawD 31 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Keeping fit isnt all about going to the gym like and everyone should be doing something. "I havent got time" you need to add "to live" to the end of that a 30min walk a few times a week at a fast pace is one of the best things you can do at a minimal. As said, if you have kids they are a brilliant source of keeping yourself (and them) healthy. They were my reason for turning a corner in my own health and now I see being healthy as a lifestyle choice. Works for me, though I realise its not for everyone.
