Broken ribs and a torn rib cartilage. It's a nightmare injury because everything relies on the core.

Used to go to the gym, when I first began "Operation: stop being a fat bastard". But quickly got fed up of the snide remarks and giggling from those that lived there.

My gym is 5 minutes walk from my house the hardest part is walking up the big hill home after leg day

Used to go regularly in my twenties. Got married, kids, and gym predictably vanished. Beltline expands...six pack deflates

Separated now and hitting the gym 5-6x week for 45mins to an hour. Too busy to stay for longer. Belly is gone but getting that six pack back is a lot harder at 41!

Few times a week but it's all training for running. A fairly brutal interval session on the treadmill (1/4 or 1/2 mile repeats, easier to control than on the road) at least once a week, and a weights session every 4 or 5 days

I try to go 4 times a week, depending on how work was, sessions generally are between 1-2 hours. I alternate cardio and weight training heavy days.

The past 2 weeks I've slacked off, gone down to 3 days per week due to feeling a bit low.
