Welcome to Getting Fit Again!

How many of have us have started a home fitness program or gym schedule only to give up and go back to a generally, unhealthy lifestyle.

I woke up one day and said this has to change. I decided I did not want to hear a doctor say "You could have avoided this medical condition had you stopped living your sedentary lifestyle."

NO WAY DO I WANT TO HEAR THOSE WORDS.

I am determinded not to die before my time - determined to give my family many years of healthy life. Consequently I will be focussing on 10plus gym-free fitness and 20mins (10+10 minutes) walking 5 days a week and I'll make a weekly journal, in words and audio.

(Week by week progress also audio and map)

The WHO website: "The lack of physical activity is a major underlying cause of death, disease, and disability . . . More than two million deaths each year are attributable to physical inactivity . . ." Full story here.

Web Comment: "Am 70 years old, play golf about 4 times a week and would like to become physically more flexible. Have no ailments or constraints and want to keep it that way. It is a great myth that you shrivel up and die after the age of 55. Life goes on. Running, walking, or crawling. Much of it - Our choice."
