Are you fit?

Are you fit? Or should I say, do you do regular exercise?

A couple of years ago I was:

Running 2-3 times a week

Swimming twice a week

Down the gym 3 times a week

Kickboxing

Tai chi

Squash

And so on.

Now, I'm doing, well... nothing

Earlier today I was clowning around with my youngest daughter (who's 10) we had 'Jungle Is Massive' booming out of the TV and we was both strutting our stuff... don't ask!

It left me out of breath and also left me thinking I'd better get my arse back into gear on the exercise front.

Do you do any regular exercise?

I just started running 2 or 3 times a week. For 20 minutes. Might not keep it up.
But aside from that I don't get any exercise, just walking to work.

No I might get back into the habit of swimming at Hampstead Pond.

Or I might change a dietthat's 50/50 transfats and alcohol.

At the moment my life expectancy could be on a par with a Labour governments.

Tried a meal replacement diet but that made me very ill.

I'm not into any sports or anything, and certainly not going to the gym. But I wouldn't mind being a bit fitter. Don't want to die of heart disease at 50, or turn into a big fat lazy lump.

Exercise is a pain in the arse though.

I think Aaron might have misled you about what exercise is.....

Hahaha!

I haven't been working out much this winter. It's been a very cold one.
I'm going to be rather out of shape for my wedding next month I think.
Anyways, I normally run about 3 or 4 times a week. This past summer I biked an hour to and from work everyday and that made up my exercise.

Right now I have a bit of a belly. I blame school and the cold.

Shucks major info drop my fellow clogger.

Congratulations to you and Mrs Curt.

You going to have herrings at the wedding?

I used to be really fit. Played loads of football and cricket, did well in cross country and running and all that shizzle. Fast forward a couple of years at university and Christ, I can't run for more than a minute before I want to double up and be sick.

Oh I thought I had mentioned it before, either way thanks.

Actually we're getting married in Cuba next month, so the herrings will have to reception for when we get back. And the herring will be pickled of course!

Married in Cuba? Does Castro give you a free cigar?

Seriously that's majorly cool.

But you won't be able to invite DaButt.

I started running a couple of times a week and recently ran my first 5K fun run. I've got two more planned over the next few months. I'm probably fitter than I've ever been at the moment (and that's no great achievement!!)

The last of my four marathons was 10 years ago (18th April 1999 in London) and I'm now in the worst shape of my life. Not getting enough sleep, eating crap and not exercising. I did a duathlon in 2007 of two 5k runs and a 10k cycle but little else over the past 5 years.

It's something I've been thinking about especially now I'm 40 because if I don't do something now it'll be harder and harder get anything like a decent fitness level.

haha yea I felt bad about eliminating a lot of my American friends from the wedding by going to Cuba, but they all seemed pretty cool with it in the end.
As for the cigars, I get to bring back almost two boxes back + two bottles of rum! Hellz yea!
