The habit. It was part of the weekly routine. Going there and seeing familiar faces and saying hello or having a chat with instructors gave energy and made it social.

Equipment wise....I miss the boxing heavy bags.

What's with all the weight lifting people do these days? What happened to cardio? Or do you do a combo?

The showers in the gym are unreal!

What I miss most though, is the that the toilets in the gym in work are always empty, so they are the best place if you want to sneak off to have a nice long poo in peace.

Fair play man.

Curious to know if you were using Tom Kerridge recipes?

Lost over a stone in 2mths cooking like that without too much exercise.

Fair play to ya Thor! Sounds like you lost the weight by making healthy lifestyle changes rather than fad crash diets! Way more likely that the you will keep it off for good now.

I miss swimming laps in the pool, and gliding effortlessly past all those muscle bound young fellas who so obviously don't do enough cardio. As I plod past em, I usually do a flutter kick without my heels breaking the surface. The ensuing turbulence usually freaks em out and sends em scurrying towards the slow lane.
