I haven't eaten but I have got dressed properly for the first time since Sunday and I had a bath so that's something A lot of gyms offer a free day activity pass to try the place out, maybe call your local gym. Maybe talk to your doctor as well. It's horrible to read that you're feeling like this but you really do need to eat, even if only small meals. Am here if you want to talk x

I've always found that if I can build the exercise into the working day (i.e. running/cycling to work) it makes it more palatable at the start; but I do appreciate that with youngsters that wouldnt be easy. Have you considered trying to involve the littleun's in any exercise you'd be interested in? The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Originally posted by Lyons550 For the first time in my life I've actually joined a gym.

Even though I'm only in my mid 40s. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised with the ranges of age groups actually in there using all the equipment, from 20 up to 70... Both male and female. They definitely seems to be a change in people's attitude towards gyms and I definitely see it as a tool that the NHS can use in order to alleviate the pressures on the system moving forward over the next decade or so. How long before gym membership usurps bus passes for when you hit 60 in order to keep us fit and healthier for longer? Anyone else on here regular gym users? Yep. Go mon-fri every week. Love it. Get there early, send out all my quotes/invoices from the coffee shop. Then go upstairs do an hour of intense graft, skipping/punch bag/weights. Then sauna jacuzzi and out by 10:30am I go as much for my head as my body. Sometimes i walk up the stairs with loads going on in my head, after an hour I float back down the stairs. Love it, will maybe slow down a bit on the graft as I get older, but I’ll never stop it. Like on a night out, people are too busy worrying about what they look like to worry about anyone else. I talk to men and women from 20-70 years old, generally uplifting people that are trying to better themselves. You can’t be ‘to tired to go to the gym’, it gives you more energy and you sleep better. It’s never to late to sort your body or your head out. Can’t recommend the Gym enough. Michaela apart from the cost, no one ever regrets excercising. Good luck Edited by Casual (09 Nov 2017 6.54am)
