But generally just want to get down to a decent weight and up to a decent level of fitness. I've been given a second chance and I don't want to waste it.
Well done LJ, liveSTRONG!!! |

good man, what about a hybrid bike as opposed to a road bike. It may be a bit more forgiving on your hip,

Cheers. Think I'd be fine on a normal bike. THere's little impact on the joint, as opposed to jogging. A mate in Canada just met a chap who had a hip replaced and was cycling across Canada. I'd love to do something like that in a few years' time.
YOU CAN DO IT!!! christ, i get up on my days off at 4am to go cycling, running and swimming. because i have a long term goal i am chasing that this level of commitment is what is required to realise that goal.. |

A lot of it is about mindset, from previous experience of diets and stuff. Everyone will have bumps along the way...visits home or holidays or illnesses. It's when we let these molehills become mountains that the problems compound. We just have to accept the fact that these bumps will happen and move on from them. Of course, it's all easier said than done...
what about aquafit? I am going to go on Thursday to the one at the Meridien Mina Seyahi :) |

2011 Dubai Marathon and one another 2012 Full IM Its hard though to get all the training in with a busy job and a young family. then after that, try to improve over the olympic distance and try to at least do 1 IM70.3 a year. Really, i just want to be fit and healthy to enjoy playing sport and encouraging my children. I want them to look up to their dad as a cool, fit guy, not a bloke out of the Royle family.. |

good on you. the last sentence is all you need really, sad thing though is it would put you in the absolute minority of people these days.

I'd advise you to find somewhere where you can meet other people and do classes together, get new mates and have fun, if you go to teh gym on your own and you're not keen you will never push yourself therefore not really do that much. When it cools down you should maybe go to Safa Park or somewhere and just go for a good hours walk. |
