I've not had an MD now for a least 5 years. Stopped at a service station one lunch time and was half way through a Big Mac when I realised I just was not enjoying it. Left it half eaten and never had one since. BK on the other had....

Pre-lockdown my wife managed the bar at a nightclub that was right next door to a McD's drive through. She used to go there regularly for food when she was working so to make up for it I just started making burgers at home instead. SO much better!
Also - if you like the sauce in a Big Mac but have realised that the burger is almost always dry and uninspiring, try making your own with this: https://angusandoink.com/products/macdaddy-burger-sauce-seasoning mix it with some mayo and Bob's yer mothers live-in lover!

I started running again a few months ago after a long break(at least 10 years) so I started with a 3 miler which turned into a 5 miler and didn't feel as though it was that difficult until two days later. Two days of no phys but lots of stretches and I was back out doing another 5 miler. Then Ive slowly began to add press ups, pull ups and sit ups and fell runs (love the burn) and I've gone back to a size 32 from a 34 already. I am not that fit/strong but I do enjoy doing it as I know all too well the rewards for getting out and pushing yourself. I stopped drinking alcohol 2 years ago and have cut out red meats, pork, excessive sugar and all processed foods and only cook fully nutritious meals. Im 36.
Start with a short walk and go from there(try to team up with partner/friends for encouragement)
Don't make any form of exercise an unpleasant activity.
Don't give up too much (like snacks, beers etc) straight away.
Never feel ashamed of your current fitness level or compare yourself to others.
And remember: Airsoft doesn't require you to pass any fitness tests to have a cracking day so ignore me and go large with extra cheese with that full fat coke/can of monster.

I broke my shoulder in August and so all thoughts of exercise went down the crapper. Which is a shame because I was getting into decent shape. Anything more than walking was just to painful. 8 months later and I’m only just getting to the point where I can think about running again and not just long walks. I’m looking forward to getting some nice seafront runs in now the weather is better.

To those of you that are, & can make that extra effort to get back in shape, whether its weight loss or training, well done ?,it'll benefit you in more than just Airsoft.
But to those of you that like myself (found out today I'm now waiting on at least 3 surgeries), & face a bigger struggle, but are determined to still get out there in the meantime, consider your loadouts ?,
more importantly don't feel the pressure to necessarily go "fully loaded", myself I've sorted a molle grab bag, pouches on the exterior mean I can access 2 pistol mags, 3 hi caps for any of my platforms & a 1L Nalgene bottle with ease, plus any bits I need to carry in the bag, fully loaded it still weighs about the same as my favourite warrior chest rig when it's EMPTY ffs, that's a big weight saving plus I'm not wrapped in many layers of tactical nylon, which in itself is enough to start you sweating before the first whistle.............
Just saying, if fitness or health is an issue at the mo, don't kill yourselves just to look more 'leet, it's not worth it & will definitely spoil your first games back ?

yeah, not been doing much lately. With the dark nights and weather I have not been cycling to the office (on days I am in!) and runs are loooow on the list. Now my lower back issue has resolved its self (for now) I need to get back into some running in the evenings and some bodyweight / dumbbell exercise other times.
Literally my Trevail 5kg plates every time I go into the shed:

I’ve been making pinhole solar cameras, so have needed to empty assorted Strongbow dark fruit & Kopperberg mini cans.
I’ve pretty much exhausted the garden pole, and just need to leave it up for much longer

Ive access to some land, which will give good landscapes. But I need good reason to head out there and case out some spots - that would also reduce the temptation to take it down for the results every time I look up at it

Good to hear all your excuses, I mean, efforts to stay in shape.
Im off for a bit of a jog/walk. It's going to be epic.

Jump ropes are fucking excellent for cardio and I would really recommend them to anyone who has trouble actually getting outside to run/etc - like me.
Seriously, £10 off Amazon or wherever and you've got a quick, fun way to do cardio indoors - and can go as slow as you like.
