I''m 'starting' back exercising tomorrow.

didn't you say that two months ago Spuz? lol

Yeah I played football for 6 years in school but then I gave up on staying active. I'm trying to get back into things. It's always tough starting again but I'll make it through

Sweet. I never really stopped being active but i did switch from hardcore weight training to marathon running 4 years ago. The change was brutal on my body for the first year but now me and my girl run at least 5 miles every other morning. DST is awesome for morning runs.

I did say that a month ago, but I was living in a crackhouse where drugs got in the way of exercise. I am now living a whole different city at my nans, hopefully the anti-depressents don't make me too moody / tired because I want to get back into it. .

I used to be so fit and healthy, was captain of my hockey team a few years back but I stopped with everything. Just got to low I guess. Neeed to start pushing myself into doing it until it become routine again

I wish you the best Spuz as always. I hope things work out this time

At least im opening to my family and people instead of running away and hiding . It will be ok in the end!

Got in a whole mile today thanks to the encouragement of a workout buddy.

Military personal trainer is definitely encouragement.

Take it slow Roo. If you haven't been active let that daily mile be your limit for a couple of weeks until your body adjusts to it. Last thing you want while youre just starting to run is get injured.

Thanks man. I know I gotta take it slow.

I only ran that much because my friend was with me. I'll probably stick to 1/2 mile every other day for a couple weeks. Then slowly increase my amount. I'm taking a break today so tomorrow I will run my 1/2 mile.

That half of a mile today wasn't too bad. My little brother actually said he would ran with me. He ran the whole 1/2 mile with me and he's only 9 years of age. Just goes to show how real the struggle is for someone who is 260+ pounds and out of shape

Ballin. Do you have a pool nearby? Can also do some swimming as a way to reduce the stress on your joints.

No pool nearby unfortunately. I love swimming but I don't get to do it that often.
