and I'm starting by running a lot.
I went for a run with Buzz last week, then for a 30 minute run on Saturday and played football on Sunday.
I will hopefully go for a run again tonight depending on what time we finish. If not I will go for a run tomorrow night and Wednesday.
I'm going to start doing upper body again tonight as well, starting the press ups and sit ups. I had actually got a bit better but suspect things fell away the last couple of weeks so will need to push hard.
It isn't far but I have started to cycle to work which is good for my legs, but not my bum. I tried a high fibre diet but my stomach just doesn't allow it so need to just start doing more fitness work and avoid too many fats.
So, targets. These are the most important things for me now. I hope to be able to do the following in a month:
Run for 2 hours without stopping
Do 50 press ups
Do 100 sit ups
Do a single monkey bar
I can then kick on and work in a gym on all of those other things you keep talking about in August.
I will achieve this by:
Doing sit ups and press ups twice a day, every day, building up the number at a time.
Starting light weights three times a week and building up weight and number of repetitions
Going for 3 runs a week increasing the length each time over the month
Continuing to Cycle to work and asking Paul to take me for one extra cycle ride a week... I'm not very confident on the olde bike yet.
Any other suggestions for simple first steps?

Mate. This is all awesome targets, and very achievable. Stick with it, and update the group regularly, even if you are not hitting your targets.
A quick point on your diet. Fat is not actually bad for you, as long as it is unsaturated (ie. nuts, vegetable oil, fish etc). Sugar is the real enemy! Therefore, try and avoid chocolate, sugar in tea, all carbs (which the body turns to sugar straight away) and other sugary items (donuts, candy, etc). As well as being bad for weight, energy levels and other issues, is actually generally really bad for our health!
Yeah good work Josh - how have you got on since you published this? Keep us informed - be a good way to motivate continued performance.
Agree with Si on the diet - you can't out train a bad diet - its 70% food, particularly at our creeping age!
