    @dawn16 YESSSS!!! I know how you feel, we think it’s a lot easier if we were younger....and we are right! But we have to pay a little price for our history of slacking! Just put your head down and go to work, don’t think about anything but the exact thing you have in front of you (push-up...

    @nicholasuk40 They are nuts, throw some burpees in there, mix up the exercises to suit your wants and have at it. I’m still a little ways from going back to them, but they sure got you going. If you cycle through exercises without doubling up too much on the specific muscles you can add rest...

    @helio I will wait patiently for your success post in a couple weeks, if you’re hear and thinking about it, you’re just millimetres from making it a reality. Stop thinking and just do, I promise you will see results and you will be hooked soon enough

    @eq1981 I was thinking that today....man 17-20 would be a lot easier if I was 250...at 225 I can’t even imagine. I’ve been thinking about Intermittent Fasting but I need to do a little more research before giving it a go. I like the idea though of limiting my eating times before moving into...

    @trutta 100% the same type. I’ve gone through what I’m doing now in my head for years. Just wake up one day, don’t even think about it and just do anything...by the next week you will be thinking about stuff to add or change. Walking has been awesome as well, just leave you place and go...

    @plans4good This has definitely been my kind of mantra 1 day at a time and little by little. I knew I wouldn’t make it this far if I went nuts. I’m lucky that my main crew of buddies and I have all been friends for 30+ years and they’ve jumped into it with me or have been a major support...

    @jaxy I wish I had some military focus, I can imagine this is a huge Benefit for you. And I agree, I wish I had never stopped.... But you know what, fuck it, we can’t go back but we can dam well learn. I’m ok with the back 9 being my better half! Liquor hasn’t been an issue for me as I’m not...

    @appalonia Yes! I did the same thing, turned the tiles are in our condo living room into a workout area with those pads, it’s been great. Awesome job man!

    Long post alert So here I was, 42, and the Corona Virus gets real. The last 20ish years have been a bit abysmal in terms of fitness and really taking care of my health. After some self reflection I decided I’m going to come out of this thing a better person than I went into it. Gyms closed...
