Having been married for 32 yeras [yep thats right 32] I can honestly say that the only way around some of the hard things is to avoid them until your partner is ready to take the first step for themselves. I was the one who needed to take the first step, not my wife and to be honest how she put up with me for so long…

If you are thinking of Sports Active 2 for your Wii, just take it really easy. I used it for about 3 weeks over last winter having had heart bypass surgey in July 2010, and low & behold it came to pass that I was taken back into hospital because the exercises using the band were too strenuous for the wired ribcage, as a…

Hi James, You were exactly right in your assumption of my original post re running tracks etc. I did not realise that what I asked had a background in the laws of physics, but thank you very much for the update initially I thought Coriolus was a disease of something. Many thanks for the great input. I actually now exercise…

That is the basic jist of it but more so when exercising out doors on runs, walks, cycling etc. The last few weeks I have been doing the same route but alternating between clockwise and anticlockwise, and for some unkown [as yet] reason it takes less time clockwise, albeit the route when measured is exactly the same…

I go to the gym twice a week as part of a cardio rehabilitation programme following heart surgery. It is really good, I also walk between 3 km's and 5.5 km's per day always in the morning before breakfast. This time last year I could only walk about 60 metres without having problems. Getting fit and staying fit is…

I never measure after being to the gym or any exercise, in fact I always try to measure at the same time of day [give or take 30 mins] and weraing the same clothes. I always use my Wii to weigh instead of bathroom scales and put them in the same spot on the floor. There can be so many variables when you measure, i.e. are…

Question When you weigh on the scales do you place them in exactly the same spot, and are they level - if not then I am afraid they will always give yoy a different reading. The Wii fit board on the other hand is effectively a digital transmitter to a computer and the computer software interprets the signals. As others…

From a blokes perspective, I am being supported in everything I do by my wonderfull wife of 30+ years. Whilst she may not be out there with me exercising at the early hours of dawn etc. She is my dietician and chef, as well as being a brilliant friend and partner. Without her I truly would be lost Since my cardiac surgery,…

Hi Jeff, To be honest I'd get to the doctors first and get a thorough check up done. I know you have to have them as a truck driver every now and then but the extra check may pay dividends. After all both my wife and I were convinced I was having a bad case of Indigestion, and 12 months later well you already know what…

Hey, everyone gets good and bad days, the main thing is not to let the bad ones take over your life !!!! live for today, and you never know what tomorrow may bring. set yourself an achievable goal, even if it means it might take longer to reach.

Having to start somewhere is the hardest thing to do. Having had to do it myself following a heart bypass operation the first thing I found was to exercise little but often. IE walking twice - three times a day for about 5mins, then biuld it up week by week until you are walking for 45 mins - 1 hr spread over the day if…

There are lots of Guys on here, the problem is finding them. I have been using MFP, since July this year. It has become one of my greatest assests even have it on my ipod in order to update things when I get back to the computer [can't afford and i phone just yet]. The main thing that got me onto this was having suffered a…
