For most people, the route to losing weight and getting fit is removing the parts of your lifestyle that stop this happening. Usually for us blokes it is too much alcohol, carbs/fat and not enough movement.
I guess if you dont permanently alter that balance, nothing will really happen.

Just had an ECG after feeling faint over the last 2 days, mine was 38 after walking down a corridor to the monitoring room. I’m only posting this because I want the forum record.
I think it's disgusting how people treated Lance Armstrong after what he achieved winning 7 Tour De France titles on drugs.
When I was on drugs, I couldn't even find my bike.
Even better, after a 24 hour monitor it recorded 37. Bjorn Borg I'm coming to get you! (Standard resting, not on the vinegar stroke)
Good news though, these episodes of Sinus bradycardia are not an issue and LVH has been excluded. I have Isolate multifocal VE's and Isolated SVE's including couplets, I don't know what any of this means but I've been discharged, which can only be good.
They also said I had 9 dropped beats. Which made me think, if you are going to monitor me at gigs at least come over and say hello!
Does anybody know what this stuff means? I just have a letter with no particular explanation.....
Mines 58bpm btw
You might even have a condition that is causing the low heart rate

When they told me Benny's - Mamma Mia!
It was in 5/4!!
From memory, and probably missing some details, but hopefully correct generally......
LVH - left ventricular hypertrophy. The left ventricle is the chamber of the heart that pumps blood out into your body, after its been filled with oxygen from your lungs. Bit like the fuel pump on a car.
If it has to work unusually hard, as in (for example) cases of constricted blood vessels (from say high blood pressure, or fat build up in vessels), then the ventricle (which is muscular) gets larger and thicker. Same reason a bicep gets larger if you lift weights. This LVH then makes you more susceptible to a heart attack and irregular heart beats, which in extreme cases cause the heart to simply spasm and stop (sudden death).
So, NOT having LVH is therefore good! Many people with high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol have a degree of LVH, as do some athletes.
VE/SVE - essentially unexpected extra beats of the heart. Everyone gets them to a greater or lesser degree. People who have them a lot, and regularly, often can have atrial fibrillation, which if uncontrolled can lead to a stroke.
You can get these extra beats from alcohol - when you wake up in the night after a session with a thudding heart? That's this sort of thing as booze can affect your heart rhythm.
Sinus bradychardia - the sinus (for short) is a bundle of nerve tissue in your heart that controls the beat. It is like a battery that radiates electrical impulses through your heart to make it contract. When you stimulate it or inhibit it directly, it alters the rate and force of your heart beat. If you take a heart out of the body and keep it alive, it will beat at about 120bpm, generated by the sinus area. Your nervous system (vagus nerve) puts a brake on this naturally. When this goes awry, you can get irregular beating (arrhythmias).
Why do I know this stuff - university and work.
You obviously don't have anything to worry about!
I heard some famous fell runner had a resting heart rate of 30-something, which is borderline dangerous.
My feedback thread is here.
No, my Garmin was way, way out. ECG or portable eloctrode monitor only
