Nice topic. I was always fit and healthy. Done marathons and played sport until a football injury left me unable to walk properly. I was then a keen biker but the mileage I was putting in both off road and on road just caused me even more pain in the long run. Eventually i became scared of the pain I was causing myself and the inability to sleep because of it. I gave up and became a fat bastard. I hate it.
Anyhow, I have 2 fit and active kids. One is a football referee and the other has ambitions of representing GB in the olympics in the next 4 or 5 yrs. Instead of exercising I spend all my time helping them achieve their goals. Even though I have never had experience in my daughters sport I taught myself and now coach her against people who have decades of experience. I love it.
Isolation has changed this a bit. Instead of rushing home from work to blast off somewhere to train, we now do it at home. I have time to join in myself. We are able to schedule things a lot easier. I am now joining in with HIT circuits, normal circuits, cycling (flat track and no more spds) weight sessions. I don’t seem to be losing much weight but feel a lot better for it. I draw the line at going for a run because of my knees but I am definately fitter than I was before isolation.
With regards to eating we have changed our habits for the better. We make a plan for the entire week and stick to it. I don’t buy McDonald’s at work and I haven’t had sausage and chips for a couple of months now. I am eating more fresh cooked food, better food and more expensive food than ever before. But we are spending less because we eat together and eat the right things
