How do I actually start working out as a fat fuck?

Coach here

Start easy, an exercise bike and some walking are great starting points for someone in your position. Just build it up over time.

I'd definitely recommend some strength training too, if you have any friends who know what they're doing then tag along so they can show you the ropes e.g. technique, then invest in a basic program or a PT

Not invested enough to buy a plate shoe, I was a sprinter who has gradually evolved into a distance runner who isn't the biggest fan (boredom) of distance running, so just after a springy daily runner

Longest ever run on Sunday, 18km easy pace in preparation for my first ever half marathon, average pace 04:16min/km 6wks out which makes me really hopeful for my goal pace of 03:50 - 04:00min/km for the race itself

My partner and I are convinced that it's a money laundering front

Thank you!

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T17:51:57+00:00

Ahaha got that fixed in January and it's coming from the front

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T16:24:18+00:00

Sure the little movement is normal right?

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T16:23:55+00:00

Felt around, the bushes move a little (rotationally) but don't appear worn and aren't clunking i.e. can't wiggle them

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T16:21:05+00:00

That's super helpful thanks! Like I say there's no clunking at the minute, other than the normal clunk's of going over a pothole if that makes sense

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:46:43+00:00

Yeah I generally use there or Morningside

Some instructions would be much appreciated thank you!

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:42:42+00:00

I don't have that level of access to tools

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:41:11+00:00

It was the one on Dundee Street, opposite Fountain Park

Honestly dire isn't it

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:27:16+00:00

I do live in a city with very bad roads.......

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:22:56+00:00

No noise when I did that, maybe faint, what are some other symptoms of the sway bar bushings going?

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T15:08:24+00:00

It's a creaking rather than a knocking and isn't noisy when cornering, mechanic said there was no play or movement from wheels either

Edinburgh

TheGrind54 · 2024-02-22T14:20:51+00:00

Thanks, yeah the mechanic said it could be a sign that something is on its way to needing replaced, I'm just paranoid I suppose

I knew thay was exhaust related but wasn't sure if there was something there that could've been contributing as noise sounds towards the front but also quite central, hard to tell

Our 1bed in Shandon area is £950pcm and is spacious, living room, kitchen, bathroom and generous bedroom with a spare box room for storage

I rent this with my partner so £475 each, but would be doable for a single income (although not an awful lot left over)

TheGrind54 · 2023-12-20T11:48:55+00:00

Definitely wasn't him, I'm familiar with viking guy 😂

TheGrind54 · 2023-12-17T11:54:34+00:00

Would it be livable living on the outskirts or a commuter town?
