I live near a golf club and went there once for a pint and was stared at like i'd shat on the bar. It was a charity night and i thought going then and buying their stupid raffle tickets would be a way to i dunno, have a conversation or something.

You may as well have just shat on the bar then, no better opportunity.

I worked at Gleneagles once after the Masters. It took a couple of days before they let members back on the course. When they came I watched the people play (I believe it's £50,000/year membership). Good god they were awful. Every one of them. I mean truly awful. There was one dude with his two adult sons, meaning he's possibly paying £150k/year, and you'd think the clubs were made of rubber or something.

I'm awful too, but I'd be paying maybe £20 for four hours of hanging out with mates and getting some exercise.

Steps are all fine and good
Just keep moving any way you can

Best of all, find something you like that you can get kind of good at. Anything.
Tennis, biking, running, swimming, hurdles, weightlifting, whatever works.

sitting?

Yea, golf is hard. Did it once. Pass.

sitting?

If you can rock out in the chair, go for it

Sitting is not great tho

have gone through a good few months of misery with my back. Nothing major at all thankfully but enough to inhibit my jogging routine etc. After an MRI recently it has shown a bulged disc once again (had one years ago)

Do any of you have online classes recommendations for Pilates/Yoga? It is what has been advised for me by my physio.

Also looking into sourcing in-person local ones but doing them in my own time via links sent on e.g. would be more suitable for now rather than turning up to a hall a specific night of a week

I use doyogawithme.com quite a bit. You need to create an account, but a free account gets you access to a good bit of stuff (and there's loads of stuff if you're willing to pay)

There's Yoga With Adriene on Youtube that everyone raves about

Personally, I would think for something as serious as this - go to a few classes and have them monitor your form til you get it
It's easy to have bad posture and not see/realise it and tehrefore not get anything like the effect you want out of the activity

Again, I hate sounding like a cultist. But some of the DDP yoga success stories are mind blowing.

Have you had any experience with it?

I asked a lady in our run group what stretches she was doing for her hammies
And she showed me
Very little effect

Then she adjust my bum and chin (chin!) and the hamstrings instantly felt better.
Turns out she's a yoga teacher, but unbelievable stuff tehy can do alright

+1 to this. I did a weekly yoga class for a year or maybe 2 before I started on the online stuff

Yeah I've been doing it for years, had some success in losing weight on it for a couple of years then when covid hit I got serious about my diet as well and dropped 62 lbs in about 6 months. I've never been more flexible then I am in my 40;s. I've definitely got issues in my lower back and left hamstring but it help keep them as good as possible.

Ann Post Snr took it up in his late 60s and he loves it - it fairly trimmed him out too

I neglect it

Doing tons of other fitness stuff - but this is an area I need to address
i'm tight as a drum in lots of areas

Similar on the weight
Dropped about 50 since 2016 (I don't mess with kgs or that)
I'm just under 6'4"

Basically on a sine wave of 193 to 197 now

All those spikes are where people disagreed with me on Thumped and I stress ate my way out of it

Even doing a proper warm up and warm down can be helpful

I know this

And yet I am too stupid or lazy or recalcitrant to implement it

You are dead right tho
