Re: Am I a fit fat person?

Re: Am I a fit fat person?
wowzers... watch out for burnout..
im sure you know this already but its very important to have at least one rest day per week.
Creatine may work wonders and is something ill be looking it to eventually, but your muscle fibres need time to repair themselves.
Kudos to you for the effort though!

Quick update. Hit 50lb total weight loss this week, now 288lb and quickly heading toward a sub 20st weight for the first time in approx 13 years. Also completed first HM in 1h25:46 (slightly disappointed but had to stop three times due to numb glutes!) Managed 7956m on last 30min row, so knocking on...

Re: Am I a fit fat person?
Thanks Carl!
I have a training partner now for added encouragement. Will try for 8000+ metres/30mins before the year is out. Its a great feeling suddenly being able to sustain times that were simply unacheivable only weeks ago.
Getting fit is actually fun! who'd have thought it?...

Re: Am I a fit fat person?

Anyways, by august this year I tipped the scales at just over 150kg / 24st (im 6ft 1"). I bought my Concept2 last ye...
