    I am off to do 30 minutes on the treadmill at 6kph (not quite up to 6mph). Then about 30 minutes of fixed weights. Would be walking up my ridge for about 2 hours total, but the weather here in Wales is yet again wet and miserable.

    I do agree though that my fitness regime is better suited to walking distances rather than pushing weights. Seem to lose more weight when upping the walking.

    Walking is the only thing I’m interested in now, to old to worry about gaining muscle.

    Plus I enjoy it as well.

    Circuits class called off late notice, maybe instructor was ill or something.

    So decided to go and test my running, see if i could do the same as i was before covid, which was the last time i was running on treadmills. 

    Done 5km in 30mins, which pleased me, same as i used to do. And plus not long back from 3 weeks holiday, where apart from scuba, i didn't do any exercise. So getting back to fitness.

    Happy enough, though would have preferred an hour's circuits.

    HIIT tomorrow evening, have booked a spin class just incase the instructor is still off. Good cardio workout, a proper spin class where they get you as if cycling up a hill, and working your arms as well. 

    I do 45 minutes at 6mph on the treadmill every day, keeps my weight down as I am not doing anything else currently, and keeps my fitness up.

    No interest in weight training anymore, don’t want to aggravate my right shoulder as it can give me pain.

    Same here brother. Oh, I am still in my drinking days to some extent. In my case, I found that after I stopped the drugs, I was able to resume drinking a little. Not for everyone for sure and some would say that I am a damn fool and they are likely right.

    I can’t do drinking or drugs anymore, just have a very addictive and self destructive personality. Surprised my recent medical tests have been really good.

    I worked with a guy who couldn't drink the stuff, turned him very quickly and all he wanted to do was fight everyone.

    Was never that way on anything else!

    I don’t know why it affects me that way, but it’s the only spirit that does that to me.

    I did a bit of 12hr nightshifts when younger,perpetually knackered I'm sure it shortens ones lifespan.

    2004 5/5 rotation in Geneva was the last,after that I refused any job which involved nights.

    Did one year of night shift around 20 years ago, really struggled sleeping, would have to sleep on my breaks to get through the night. Nearly crashed my car on the way home a few times by almost falling asleep. It’s not for everyone.

    The company did annual medical because of the effects on people’s health.
