Unexplained weight gain.

[Gray]

I havent been to the gym in about 2months , i only worry how much weight has gone back on, sensing more failure i am thinking about a few things

Since im now at o2, the job is 8hr days, for 5days a week (8/4, 9/5, 12/8 etc). Now that time is spent sitting down for hmmm about 6.5hrs of the day, no exercise at all. I like the job, the money is great, but my body is taking a battering because of it, at the end of the shift i dont go the gym, because the times i finish are when the gyms are full of other people, im self-concious, i wanna be undisturbed.

While i worked in farmfoods mind, i was always on the go, a lot of activity went into it, walking, use of the muscles in stretching and brushing/mopping up, usually i did 7-1 shifts, which was excellent, i could go in the gym and leave when no one was around, i even started swimming because i just wanted to get good, then, i got the job at o2 which would have been too much.

So im thinking about walking _just_ walking, go for a quiet stroll at night, not too far because this place isnt really meant for walking alone at night (like any other town probably).

But i was thinking of maybe going somewhere out of town, the countryside, and just walking, and walking, but i was wondering how much walking should be done? Its coming upto the Summer now, nice cool/warm weather, i was told 40mins workout for gym, but how much for walking? hmmm

Might start as soon as next week if possible.

i dont think there is such a limit on walking, its easy enough and you dont get bored with the scenery. id say plan your self out a round trip, see how long it takes, what the terrain is like and how you feel the next day. if you walk hills it can make your legs ache

even try joinin a rambling group whatsit, i think they just walk all day then you can meet new people and stuff.

This is an excellent book, written by a maniac but very good. This man retains one of the best physics for a man his age, its all about stamina and toning +strength but in the confinds of a prison cell, using simple technics and on a limited budget, well worth a read.

After I popped my knee for the third time playing rugby, I had to knock a lot on the head. I now walk at least 5 miles a day with my dogz. Agree with Gray walking is tops, especially for those that have been out of the circuit for years.
