The Gym/Fitness/Health thread

Quite often at lunchtime I will want to get outside for a bit of fresh air, but first I go in the kitchen make a sandwich and end up sitting back at my desk to eat it and then I answer a few emails and before I know it I'm on a call and have not had a proper break.
Am thinking maybe Huel would help because I could drink it whilst working and then get up and go for a walk outside without needing to go and make/eat a sandwich, hence nothing stopping me from actually going outside. I often hardly leave the house nowadays all week, just work and loaf.

I’d love to know your thoughts on Huel
All the fitness folk I know use a drink instead of a meal but I’m far from that at the moment t
 
still struggling massively to get into a consistent gym routine. I was so consistent when i worked 5 days a week in the office. This 3/2 split has really thrown my mentality out.
 
well it's been 3 years since i posted this thread and i thought i would return to it. Has much changed? Well i'm older and greyer.

As i mentioned in another thread, i'm back 5 days in the office, and that has totally transformed me. I am a creature of habit and consistency, so i've made a real effort to spend the last few months eating clean and hitting the gym nearly every day.

Lost a bit of weight, not at my 2019 peak so i need to keep going, but in the right direction at mo. I'm back to being able to do 6-8 pull ups (3 sets) which is a massive achievement now i'm 40.

Anyway, if anyone else thinking maybe they need to start getting into it, or already well seasoned, then this is the place.

Also some other tidbits, now taking creatine daily and i have seen a bit more, intensity to my workouts, a bit more pushing to failure. And apparently the benefits to the brain are starting to be well established so, if anyone also taking let me know
 
Been doing Orange Theory three times a week for a few years (approx 550 classes) HiT and was playing footy too. Been told due to a health issue being monitored that footy will have to take a back seat now due to the contact nature, and have been told to modify the intensity of my workouts at OT. Will be getting more into longer walks and cycling to augment my stuff. Need to get back to clean eating, I'm OK but can do better. Nearly 59 so just got to keep going!
 
Been in Hospital since Tuesday, keep having a random spike in my Blood Pressure, happens once every couple of months, Tuesday it was 200/120 with HR of 140. So called non emergency and here I am, 26 hours sitting and asleep in ER was an experience I won't wanna repeat so kind thankful they are now testing everything.

Weirdly my BP is recorded regular and healthy since, they gave me a BP pill to regulate it and it plummeted to 90/60 so they suspect there are random excretion of hormones or something that trigger the rise now and then. Likely here for another week.

If Spurs dont kill ya..

Good luck mate. My issues are connected to blood pressure too, and a related condition which requires monitoring to stay ahead of the need for surgery (it was randomly discovered back in 2017, rarely gets noticed/checked in others). GREAT they are testing everything!
