Your keep fit regime
Well, I don't really do 'regimes' .
I play cricket April to September but now its winter, squash for 40 mins on a Thursday, 40 mins badminton with my son on a Sunday and two session withe the men Sunday evening. Plus a walk in the park with the kids for an hour or two.
Can't be doing with gyms and fitbits. However need to get back into doing my 100 press ups and and sit ups when I fall out of bed. But that's not happening soon.lol
Other than that. No fitness plan at all !

Summer: cycling to work, hiking in the Alps, walking, scuba diving (ok, so diving isn't particularly sporty, but good exercise for the mind and lugging tanks around can be a bit of a workout!)
Winter: Skiing, swimming, badminton, cycling if the weather permits, walking.
Don't really have a regime, I just do what I enjoy doing when it suits and it keeps me in reasonable shape.

My Doc told me I need to lose weight in order to avoid liver damage.... so I took fitness tad more seriously.
My week looks something like this.
Mon 20 Min run during work lunch, followed by evening gym which is 10 min cardio and 50 min weights and if I feel adventurous I join the ladies in the pool for some of that aqua dance dance revolution good laugh that.
Tue is just a gym session day where I do 10 min warm up cardio followed by 50 min weights
Wed is another jog at work for 20 min and further 30-40 min spin session in the eve.
Thurs gym day 10 min cardio followed by 50 min weights sometimes go for a swim (but I cannot swim so I do not count that as cardio)
Fri another lunch time run usually 20 min followed by gym session in the eve
Sat Sunday, depends on the mood I either do 30/40 min cardio or sometimes weights.
that's about it. oh and I also started to monitor my food on my fitness pal, so from June 2018 until now I have lost 8.5 kg and its a steady drop so I guess it is working.

I walk more briskly to the car these days.
Plus I have always played badminton competitively in the area leagues at county level and train at club nights and play matches a few times a week in season. Doesn't stop me being a f4t b4st4rd though!
Should really got the gym, but have young kids that absorb all my free time (willingly) and don't want to miss out while they are young. SO any fitness has to fit around work, wife and kids.

ive not trained for 18 months really as i got injured after a strongman comp and it took a long time to recover so lost heart with it all, shame really as i was getting good results.
when i was training i was doing
monday - 5x5 strength training (squats/bench/deadlift) with some assistance lifting like close grip press,skull crushers,flat dumbell bench and calf raises
tuesday - strongman training (atlas stones 100kg stone 110kg stone 120kg stone 130kg stone then 100kg stone for reps over yolk, farmers walk 120kg per hand 10 meters to turn and back 10 meters x 3 times. if i had enough gas in the tank would do keg carry until failure with a 100kg keg
wednesday - 5x5 strength training (squat/overhead press/barbell row) with assistance exercises - calf raises, seated shoulder press, plate raises (no not raising a plate of food to my mouth lol) and single arm rows
thursday - rest
friday - 5x5 strength training - (squat/bench/deadlift) with assistance exercises - trap bar deadlifts for high reps, calf raises, dumbell flat bench
saturday - rest
sunday - strongman training - 800lb tyre flip x 5, sledgehammer tyre smash hiit training 60 seconds on 60 seconds off, log press starting off with 50kg training log up to 110kg comp size log, 180kg duck-walk for 15 meters turn and back x 3
i was really motivated 2 years ago on the run up to my comp, i trained for 3 months-never missed a set or rep, i was pulling 270kg on the deadlift and 220kg squats for reps. i tore my supinator muscle and it took well over 12 months for it to go back to normal. i then started telling myself that im too old for this type of training (38) and i just gave up. i have a garage set up that cost around £5k, i have my own heavy duty power rack, 300kg of weights, a selection of bars, trap bar, 100kg tyre, 200lb celtic strength comp log, duck walk etc etc but its all just gathering dust now and will probably be for sale soon.
i know its all in my head but when you dont believe in yourself it doesnt matter what anybody says. i love the strongman scene and i go to all of the shows with my mates and at one point i would have loved to compete at a higher level. i am a good size for it being 6ft 8 and 30 stone (although after 18 months of none training my fitness is woeful). i dont drink or take stupid drugs and i gave up smoking 5 years ago. i just eat..........alot...........very often lol
it seems the closer i get to 40 years old the more i dont believe i can do it.............stupid head.
