As it's the start of a New Year, I thought I'd create a 2024 thread where all you gym and fitness freaks can discuss how you keep in shape and give each other diet and workout advice!

 

Do you prefer sports or running to keep yourselves in shape!?

I like to do weights about four days a week including 2 sessions with a Personal Trainer. I'm reluctant to do free weights and they gym I go to is such, I'm unlikely to fined a buddy so the trainer means I can try deadlifts and benchpresses. I also like to do the odd spin class at the gym and 5km Parkrun. I used to be able to do 5k in 25.5 mins but gone up to over 31 since Covid (don't run anything like as much as I did a few years back).

 

Big thing would be to lose body fat too - I love sweet stuff and carbs generally too much but feel like I'm in the zone for it and after a family dinner on Sunday have a good month of no sweet treats, crisps and really reduce bread.
