    The Battle Cruiser, The Rub a Dub Dub.

    Will give it a try but if all the precautions have sucked the joy out of it won't bother again. Think a lot of people will have changed habits and it might have the same effect on pubs that the smoking ban had a few years ago. People get out of the habit and find other things to do.

    One last bit of advice, keep a diary of what you do and when and how you felt during and afterwards. It can be rewarding to look back and see how you have progressed. Also it gives you an idea of what you need as a recovery period between sessions.

    Agree, best to see how it fits in to your life before getting loads of equipment. Good luck.

    Also, remember to change things around and avoid doing the same thing all the time. If you don't alter what you do it gets boring, when that happens it becomes a drag and the next step is you just can't be arsed. As RoS said kettle bells are great and don't take up too much space. These days...

If you use it correctly and get the technique right (not difficult) it will exercise just about every muscle in your...

    Going on from what I said earlier, I used to run a bit (4 miles twice a week) but packed that in as I don't want to fuck up my knees. Got a turbo trainer and a bike and an ergo rower (luckily I have the space to put them) second hand off E Bay. They allow me to do a CV workout as and when it...

    A few years ago I noticed I was getting a bit 'heavy' so had to do something about it as am not very tall and was beginning to look barrel shaped. Changed what I ate, and like Hill said, stopped snacking on crisps and chocolate. Made sure I always had a bowl of porridge in the morning and about...

    Absolutely agree, they were inviting people to join in as they marched, very inclusive and friendly from what I saw.
