I train in the evenings usually.mon/wed/thurs from around 8pm-930pm.my gym is 2 min drive up the road and costs me just under £300 a year.I can go as many times as I want and swimming too if I fancy it.to be fair it's a great gym.plenty of loose weights,cable machines,etc,etc.it's just been kitted out with all new equipment(they get brand new gear in every 3 years).it's open til10pm every week night except Fri and open sat and sun although I don't usually go on a weekend unless I've missed a mid week session. I love it.

Dazmond,take on more work,earn more money,then you will be to knackered to go to the gym,or get a wife and kids then you won't have the time or money to go to the gym

I don't want anymore work.I've got plenty for my lifestyle.sod wife and kids.more hassle than their worth and they drain u of every last penny/energy and can turn men into shadows of their former selves (I've seen it happen!).over the course of a few years lots of married  get fatter and worn down with all their responsibilities and lose their soul.no thanks!

Hi - If my story can help/inspire anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation then please read on.

I'm 63 years old now and I  had a heart attack about 18 months ago, prior to this i was diagnosed with angina and had a stent fitted. The surgeon found 90% blockage in my artery but was confused by this as I have a healthy lifestyle, running, low fat diet etc.

My problem was diagnosed as hereditary so I had to start taking statins. I thought my running days were over but after starting my running regime from scratch again with the guidance of the cardiac rehabilitation team at the hospital I'm back up to 6miles every other day and slowly regaining my speed over this distance and slowly upping my weekly mileage. I'm in the ballot for the London marathon 2018, and using this as an inspiration to up my training sensibly but regularly, in line with a marathon training programme which I'll start around Christmas. 

In conclusion - for the sake of your family and loved ones  please have a fasting cholesterol test carried out by the doctor on a regular basis. As it turns out I was running full throttle on tough speed work training sessions with a 90% blockage in my heart and a cholesterol of 8.5.   

Peace & love

Scary stuff that jonny!

I have health anxiety issues that have just appeared over the last few years its a horrible thing to cope with.

Its started when my little boy was born, life became serious and l started to worry what would happen to my family if something happened to me.

Some days lm ok, some days l just get this feeling that something bad is gonna happen. Its not just my own health that makes me anxious, l worry about my familys health too.

 Suffer with heart palpitations and it used to scare me a lot, now lm learning to cope with it but somedays the fear sets in.
I have seen the cardiologist and had tests done etc, he says they are benign but l cant help feeling there is something wrong for this to happen. Its a head twister for sure.

My cholesterol was somewhere between 3-4 so l guess if its under 5.5 its ok??

It has affected my training and holds me back from pushing myself too hard but that could be a good thing l suppose.

But its good to hear you are recovering and being able to lead a normal life again, inspiring for sure!

Still do trad mostly 3/4 hours a day,
So for me that with some cycling , swimming and badminton added in is enough for me.
Some people take theories elves far too seriously with this stuff and their way is the highway .
Just enjoy it for freckles sake,

Dazmond, diet is KEY!

I have read your almost same height as me (6'3) but your weighing 17st.

What is your lean body mass? What is your waist to height ratio ratio? How much body fat are you carrying?

At 6'2 and 17 st if you are low bodyfat you must look like arnold shwarzenneger, do you?

High amounts of fish oil supps are linked to prostate cancer! It is better to eat oily fish x1 per week and non oily fish x1 per week.

Dazmond low body fat is the way to go, lm assuming you have plenty at your weight but l maybe wrong.

Body fat is highly eostrogenic and carcenogenic, it makes us lethargic and anti-energetic.

I have researched obsessively on the subject due to health issues and know more than most of the doctors l have encountered.

The doctors of the future will prescibe diets, not drugs. Mark my words!

What you put in is what you will get out!

If your lifting weights regulary your already ahead of the game, its anti ageing and pro-hormone. Dial in the diet.

no idea what my body mass is.my waist size is 38.people are often shocked when i say i weigh 17 stone as they expect someone of that weight to be a lot fatter.dont get me wrong im carrying a little bit round my waist but its not rolls of it!

i feel good/healthy most of the time so i must be doing something right.im not OCD with diet and training and wouldnt want to be but i do eat well most of the time and train hard but with adequate rest in between.
