Hi Dave,I've been working out for a couple of years, focusing on strengthening my core. I still have limits to what I can lift and carry, but it does help. I feel much better and am more agile than I've been for years. Good luck with your exercise plan.

100% Chris

4 yrs ago while working in the garden i was so out of breath while digging a hole to bury one of our cats that had passed away i had to stop and take a break. I was just under 15st but covid era just made things worse.

I decided i was either very unfit or something seriously wrong. I decided to start the gym and within 3-4mths i had lost 2st and was feeling a lot fitter. Went for 2 yrs to get myself fitter then took on a personal trainer for 10 sessions every 6mths just to push me a bit and give me new ideas to try on my own. (my wife also goes so we work together) A year ago we were asked to attend the ABS class and loved it altho quite hard work, that class changed to a circuit training class which was seriously hard work and then a friend we knew in the gym just thru going 3 times a week became a PT doing weight lifting and we thought we'll go to the first class to show some support for him and loved it.

I'm now 12st 11lbs but still love my crisps. 

Now i do the Barbell Blast class on Monday morning, Circuit class on Wed evening and on a Fri morning we do our own thing which is a combination of everything really.

I feel fitter now than i have done for 20 yrs. I dont have any issues doing jobs around the house and lifting gear at gigs isn't a problem now. Yes i do get the aching back when standing for long rehearsals and should definitely sit down more.

At a young 65 i'm doing good tho.

As my older brother keeps telling me "i don't eat unhealthy crisps, i eat potato snacks"
