Will consider it. Mostly when I get home at the end of the day I just want to sleep never mind work out

If you can get a barbell and some weights you can start something like StrongLifts 5x5, you’d need a bench and eventually a squat rack but for the first couple of months you should be fine as you start with an empty bar and add 2.5kg each session to get your form right, so it’s good for adding to your “gym” slowly over time.
Just join a gym I say. I got 150 quid weights at home no longer being used. Wish I had joined gym from get go

Depends on your lifestyle. I don’t have a car to myself and have kids to look after so easier to get to the end of the garden than a gym. Also I live in Bedworth and all the gyms look like a handlebar moustache or a steroid addiction are entry requirements.
I've probably seen you there!Dunno about that..... i was a member at Capitol for over a decade and although i understand your point, people basically keep themselves to themselves.
My brother goes to Diamonds Gym in the middle of town and he's by no means a typical "gym freak" and he's got no complaints.
And i'm at Nuffield and you couldn't find a more commercial type gym full of normal people if you tried.
The ‘roid type gyms usually have plenty of regular gym goers and a very supportive community feel to them. The best gym I’ve ever been to was one and it was like stepping back into the 1970s; it was a proper spit and sawdust type. I’d rather go to one than a chain gym with posers looking at themselves inches from the mirror.Depends on your lifestyle.

If I don’t get it done by 8am it’s not happeningI try to start my day with exercise. Makes me feel more energised before work.
Tall guy.I've probably seen you there!
Weird stalker question but do you have tatted arms and just been wearing a red shirt?Tall guy.
Shaved/ginger hair. Always on the treadmill. Always wearing a running type vest. Always got a big pair of headphones on.
Several evening a week between 5:30 - 7:30 and at least one weekend morning around 8am - 10:30am
Tbf i loved it at Capitol, but had to face facts i'm a runner and the treadmills went down from 3 to 2 and i couldn't guarantee i could get on one every time.
The best gym ever in the area was the one at the Ricoh..... loads of equipment, lovely changing/steam/sauna, could run round the dirt-track beside the pitch. unfortunately it was closed down to make way for "Office Space" (ie Wasps)
Weird stalker question but do you have tatted arms and just been wearing a red shirt?
Wearing a red carnation and carrying a copy of the guardian no doubt.Nah i wasn't in there today, i was training down Godiva Harriers tonight.
I'll be in there tomorrow evening though....

Close lolIt sounds like you were typing this from the changing room.
Did you end up starting creatine?I'm back weight lifting but in calorie deficit. Not as strong as just 5 weeks ago but belly fat going at least. Will bulk in summer after hopeful holiday but for now I wanna get trim
Yeah did it for 5 weeks. Had people telling me I look tonk. Then I hurt myself and stopped training 5 weeks and I stopped taking it. Now back on it 4 days. DohDid you end up starting creatine?

I think it probably pre-dates your teaching days.I’ve been out the classroom too long, is “tonk” like hench?
About 430 yeahWere you down the Nuffield this evening?
Yeah it's a word I used when young. Kids still say hench or swoleI think it probably pre-dates your teaching days.
Yeah the same happened to me…I get the same when going through long periods of work stress. Makes you realise just how bad stress is for you.Sort of related to this but I'd got my resting heart rate down to 54 the day before the FA cup semi, exercising and pretty moderate boozing.
Immediately in the days after it jumped right up into the mid 60s. It's only just recovering into the mid 50s again now. I don't feel any less fit so can't explain the anomaly, stress?
Anybody tried ice / cold water therapy?
Sounds amazing in the loch to be fair!My missus has cold showers and has done some cold water stuff, (going in the sea, a Scottish loch etc), when it's freezing.
She loves it, I think you need to be a bit unhinged.

I do cold showers every morning for mental health. Not for weight loss?My missus has cold showers and has done some cold water stuff, (going in the sea, a Scottish loch etc), when it's freezing.
