Popular Post GothicGhost Posted November 23 Popular Post Share Posted November 23 (edited) ,I was around 16 stone few years ago and over the years it been hard to shift the weight, I started running so I when airsoft with my son I could keep up and have fun without dying from exhaustion. So, over this year I have been running more and more, I started out slow from couch to 5K and in June I did my first race for life 10k event its so good getting across the finish line. I can now run the 10k distance without stopping and my current weight dropped to 13.4 stone at age 40 right now. Thanks.

Galvatron Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Really commendable work! Your health and wellbeing seem to have improved greatly from playing yet there is such ignorance that airsoft can be hugely beneficial.

Airsoft has so many health benefits, even being out and about in nature can reduce blood pressure, although some moments in airsoft don't always do that lol!. HIT! HIT! HIIIIIITTTTTTTT! 🤣 Cheers Cannonfodder, Krisz and Nick G 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymoose Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Good on you mate. So far, airsoft has only reduced the size of my bank balance. (Significantly) DanBow, Hotweeweejef, Krisz and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impulse Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Very nicely done! Airsoft is a great hobby because it gets you out and about and it's pretty physically intensive. Even me playing like a sneaky sniper I still find myself burning a tonne of calories every airsoft game day! Also, being in shape makes airsoft more enjoyable, at least it does for me. Being able to do more is always nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ButcherBill Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 Well as a fat lad, I usually enjoy my game days. Never much running involved tho, I don't get a chance to play very often but should make more of an effort TBH. ruskitseller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 That's one of the great things about this game, you can play at whatever pace you're comfortable with. Galvatron and Ian Bru 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannonfodder Posted November 24 Share Posted November 24 While I fortunately don't have to deal with the public at work I've had my share of mental health issues (along with probably a sprinkling of neurospicyness). The combination of being out in the countryside and having the distraction of the game to concentrate on really helps.

Just being ouside in the coutry does you a power of good .Lets you decompress and re centre yourself. Cannonfodder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParHunter Posted December 5 Share Posted December 5 (edited) Unfortunately I can’t say the say the same for myself. Once I’ve put on all my gear I weigh a lot more 😜 Edited December 5 by ParHunter Impulse and Rogerborg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madhouse Posted December 9 Share Posted December 9 Well done! Having taken my eye off the fitness ball of late, I'm now up to 15 stone. So this is just what I needed to kick my arse into gear! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
