Sign up to an event, be it a 5km, a 10km or a sprint triathlon and tell everyone. I did this last year and aside from the financial issue of the entry cost the fact that others know you've signed up spurs you on psychologically. Well, it did for me anyway. My brother in-law laughing at me when I told him of my first triathlon runs through my mind every time I train...

I have a pal that did that. He used an app called Couch-to-Triathlon to manage his fitness from none existent to enough to do a triathlon. It worked, he smashed it. Fair play.

Who needs a gym to lose that belly?

Just eat sensibly and do regular moderate levels of exercise such as walking 9k steps a day. The weight will fall off you....

Anybody can do it If they want (serious medical conditions excepted) you just need to keep it up and don't make it boring.... take the weekend off.

if you eat correctly then 9k steps a day is absolutely fine for weight loss. when my local gym shut in the first lockdown i decided to really track my food accurately and walk an hour plus a day, weight dropped off really well.

Tracking everything you eat is key, so is consistency of training.

RH fitness is what quite a few folks I know have had success with. It's cheap and lots of free info.

No real science to weight loss, just consistent efforts gets results.

Well if anybody is looking at tracking their fitness/ macros and was planning on using myfitnesspal, I can now tell you that its £15 a month to use the app fully and still get a boat load of ads.

Ive worked in the industry (in ways) for some time now and I can recommend using MacroFactor for food and weight logging. User interface is much better and set up with a bigger (and more importantly, more accurate) database of nutrition for half the price that myfitnesspal is now charging. Would strongly recommend if you're looking into tracking
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
