    Right - I'll admit that I aien't in the best of shapes, far from it...

    I'm 5'10" and weigh just over 94kg [male of course] and 23 years old.

    I've piled on the weight over the past 4 years, to which previously I weighed at around 78kg. Reasons being that I've been a digging down a tad bit too much into me foods with a lack of excercise... :rolleyes:


    I've got me diet sorted out now, been on it strictly for the past 2 weeks and will stick to it with zeal from now on. I just need an output to burn off me weight now.


    What sort of suggestions would you give to ease my way into excercises and such? Currently I'm walking round the block [3km - It's a countryside, not a city block! :p ] 3 times a day - in the mornings, afternoons and evenings.

    Any advise would be greatly appreciated :)

    My advice (assuming your diet is correct, although maybe posting it up would help) would be to maybe try to involve some jogging into the walks. You won't able to run for a full 3km straight off, but having said that, unless you begin to try, your not going to ever be able to, if you see what I mean.
    I assume you're not in a gym (you never mentioned one). But perhaps some bodyweight exercises would be a good idea. Push-ups - again you mightn't be able for many, but keep pushing til you can. Sit-ups - ditto. Pull-ups/chin-ups - you can do these on a goal post after your jog. And maybe some bodyweight squats - harder than they look.

    The idea is to make it feel like you've gotten a work-out, which i daresay you don't from a 3k walk.

    And good luck.
