Run 10+k twice a week.
BJJ/mma twice a week.
I'm in pretty good shape, but often think my main exercise is running around after my two small children. I never sit down (thinking about it, that includes at work- I have to walk around all the time).
I'm talking about being slightly overweight, rather than being bang on their ideal weight.

Football is rubbish.
I've done several half Marathons (1hr 58 best time)and loads of 10k's (48m.52 best time)
Im 45 and 13.5st, but paying the price for a lot of Karate, Judo, Surfing, running and living...
At least I don't touch wine, cider or spirits and it's only 4.5%. A pint every quarter hour is my general rule of thumb. This is why I am still lean 6'2" and 13 stone odd with no gut. At 41 I've actually grown an inch in the last ten years as well. It must be the real ale. It's good for you. Suppose wine and spirits have calories in them too?
One pint of 4.5% decent stuff has about 250 calories. Two eggs fried in oil for breakfast have about 200 calories. A bowl of porridge without milk (euw) has about 150 calories Who wants to eat eggs or porridge for sustenance? It's a no brainer.
Basically I hate being inside and can't concentrate sitting watching TV and that there is the trick to keeping slim I reckon. Do something and do it all the time, don't just sit there unless you've been doing that something all day.
Think I'II go for a walk to the pub in a half hour or so. Obviously, being stuck in a city centre not everyone has that privilege though, but if you do and only if you want to lose weight, then you only have yourself to blame I reckon, which I don't think is the be all of being healthy. Octatonic is right, you can be lean and packed with muscle but still seriously unhealthy. Also, say cross country or marathon running, if you are heavier built, you are carrying all that extra weight as well, so working your heart even harder.
People weren't meant to be that tall or that lean. Look at your average SAS or Special Forces, they are all proper human height of 5'8" or 10" or something. People built like me flake out in the cold and start fitting. We're supposed to be a little tubby, its healthy.
Besides, extremely fat people couldn't handle my level of anxiety and insanity. Possibly with the exception of Emp.
But over 40 it's harder as your metabolism slows down. For most blokes it starts in their 30's.
Is Wolf from Gladiators really a good look? I donno, I think the Jury is out on that one.
I certainly need to get back into some sort of shape, as I get breathless climing the stairs these days... Plus my diet could be better...
I don't have the facts to back that but - but defiantly personal experience. I play a lot of football....a couple of lads I play with have been pro and semi pro - now they've packed on the beef through drinking and eating but can do 90 minutes in reasonable style. I've got other mates - musicians and pot heads - who have six packs and not an ounce of flab on em' but couldn't run for 5 minutes even if the late garage was closing and they were out of Rizla.
So your friends with the beef have built up good CVE, while the pot heads haven't, but they could do quickly.
I scoffed half a pack of Oreo's yesterday. Being able to do that kind of thing and still be lean is why I run..
My feedback thread is here.
I,m 6ft 1 and 13 3/4 stone I eat fairly healthily and cycle or run. I usually do 8 miles on the bike and 1-2 knees allowing.
It's a balance, I'm slightly overweight, slightly fit and slightly happy.
You can look hench and still drop dead from a poor diet, it's less likely than if you are a sofa slob but you probably need to put the effort 60/40 into Diet then exercise.
The more out of shape you get, the harder it is to get back but it is worth it. Value your body it's the only one you have and no amount of money gets you a new one.
Remember we are all going to fit in a same size hole in the ground at the end.
I wish I'd started 20 years earlier.
I used to cycle about 100 miles a week and i loved it. Then i got a swanky new car and met a lady and became lazy.
I eat so/so. I haven't eaten meat or fish in five months. And I do feel better for that.
I really need to get back on it. My job is shite at the moment. And I know some exercise would lift my spirits I have some kettlebells, an elliptical trainer and my bike. So no excuse. I think watching a sports film once a week may help.
My feedback thread is here.
that's sounds more like it - my FB friends 3100 + in 2hr though? ridiculous! He did I think 29 miles in just under 2hrs for 3100+ calories. I'm sure he liked posting his rides...and believed his far fetched calorie burn.
I think everyone would agree mile to mile a run is FAR more taxing on the body and thus burns many more calories. Who could run 26 miles (a marathon!) not me...well not in any kind of decent time lol But cycling that distance would be very easy. Of course how quickly you'd do it would vary from person to person but I'd guess any able bodied person could do that on a bike..unlike running.
