Any fitness fanatics out there?

[mk2k41]

Hi guys and gals!

Just wondering if any of you lovely people were a bit of a fitness nut? If so, what do you do and what are you trying to achieve? I'm currently back at college training to be a personal trainer, so I have to take my training quite seriously since it wouldn't look very good to potential clients if they were already fitter than me... I've got several different workouts depending on which part of my body I'm working that day.

If anyone has any questions regarding anything fitness related, whether it be exercise, nutritional or anything else then feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer it! Just remember I'm not qualified yet so may not know the answer . It might be good as well if those of you that do follow some sort of program post up your routines as well for a bit of inspiration, or ideas for others.

Not a fanatic .... BUT

In the last 3 years have ran 54 Marathons including an 81 miler a 50 miler and 3 Ultra's also ran on a Track in Belfast for 24 hours and ran in relay with the Missus for 24 hours and completed 105 miles and a week and a half ago we ran in relay from Leeds to London 216 miles in 7 days.

I need to get fit again and then I can do some more

I walk to my car if that counts? I always think that if you don't drive your car enough, then it won't break, so people won't be able to fix it, that means they won't have a job, then they'll live off the stupid amount of tax I pay.

31yrs old ...... office job ....... do little to no exercise .......DRIVE EVERYWHERE!!!

What exercise could I do and what should I be eating? (bare in mind I will NEVER go to a gym)

Interested to hear your advice ...

not a fitness nut , but was pretty fit years ago until I wrecked my back in 95. I started about 7 weeks ago with my GP putting me on the Healthwise scheme. you get 3 months free at a local gym paid by the NHS, and the trainer gives you a fitness plane every few weeks to improve yourself once the 3 months is up I will be signing up for a years membership with the first 3 months at a reduced rate.

I can see why you describe yourself as not a fanatic!
So....what IS the name for the state beyond fanaticism?

Some say (Like the Stig) that it's MAD! But I have PTSD and so I am already mad and some say its inspirational

All done to raise awareness and for a good cause. used to be fitter

Heard about this, excellent idea!
