I agree with 'robbo' on checking with your GP first and with 'Sleepless' about giving yourself a goal.  As a London personal trainer, I have clients who want to get fit for charity treks or other outdoor activities such as snowboarding or surfing.  I ensure that their training combines a solid base of general fitness: cardiovascular conditioning together with strength.  In addition, my clients will also perform more 'event-specific' training - including hill running, balance training or performing 'pop-ups' (e.g. for surfing).

good idea to see the GP. saw mine in December and she told me to see the healthy living nurse (sounds nice I thought!)

She helped me with a fitness plan to fit in around family and work and also gave advice on food.

basically, start with small changes.

Ive lost 2 stone and can now fell run as well as I did 4 year. My blood pressure is spot on as well.

so it does work .

self motivation was my biggest trouble. read Zen Running. it gives good tips and stories as to how to apply Zen (empty mind) to your life.

Hi, I have just visited your site and the info you have covered has been of great interest to me.
