I am really enjoying a level of fitness that I have not felt since I was younger so I am grateful for that.I did have to make a significant change in my life but is who I am now I will never go back.However I have been neglecting the gym the last few months.But my tree work and cycling have kept me in shape I believe.So this morning I ventured back.Truth is I found it easy.I am certainly still getting stronger.I shalt to get in three or four times a week.keep up the momentum.

I am back into the swing of things nutrition and training wise.I had six months to a year where I didn't, go often mainly due to the fact that after climbing or a heavy day cutting and moving timber I was tired.But I have had a second wind.Three years ago when I was contemplating giving up alcohol I needed a replacement for the pub.On my first day going up the staircase towards this gym I looked at this poster and thought one day I will realise I have become a new and improved me.I only ever wanted to lose weight and take my mind off drinking.Had a great two weeks back at it.Down to 98 kg now and getting stronger and stronger.Sleep improves...Tree climbing is easier than ever and groundwork just like Cardio .....I was always into Fitness as a kid and it has come full circle.Going to take the dog out now then get an hour in at the gym before a couple of small tree jobs.Happy days indeed.

Lots to catch up...too many to list now but suffice it to say I am nearing my goal of the performance version of the old me..I am now happier,healthier....and 16 kg lighter today! LIFT WEIGHT-GET IN SHAPE and It will change your life.

When I started lifting/moving weight i was told that everyday tasks and movements would become easier....that was an understatement.Everything becomes easier! The human body is an incredible machine[emoji880]

Great to hear you are back at it Big J. I,m currently into my first month of re-training after being inside 23 hours a day over the course of the Pandemic.I only have dumbbells but I am trying to get lean again and have shed 10 kg through cycling and a return to healthy eating.Lean muscle mass is my goal.
