Get back on Mountain Bike starting with a couple of mile circuits and then further into local trails and alike. The big one is to try and start running. I haven't run since I was 14 and I couldn't do big distances then. Plus points I am 9st wet through and just need to get a bit of beef back on the frame. |
I started running again 4 years ago. I was pretty fit and healthy, but found I couldn't run very far without having to walk a bit, lungs were willing, but the rest of me wasn't. Best thing is start with a couch to 5k plan, an walk-run-walk and take if from there, Too easy to over do it too early on.
Oh, and early on, plan circular routes near your home, so that you are not too far away if you need to cut it off and head back.
Few weeks later, you will be running 10k no bother
Course, you could just try an push 10k straight out, but might pick up an injury. |

If I had space I'd buy a cage, bar, bench, plates and be quite happy. My garage is full of bikes, BBQs and tools hence having to mix it with the proles. |

did park run today, circa 27m30s, very crowded start, also didn't want to get my best trainers muddy, so didn't overtake much traffic at first, took me a lap to catch the 30m pacer who I know, chatted to him for half a lap, and then ran on
tbh I couldn't have done a whole lot better 25m maybe, I'm still chasing the 23m barrier, pb is about 23m10s
cycled there, then afterwards used the pull up bars in the parks little outdoor gym, met an old friend and was showing his young son how to do chins ups as he was very impressed I could do it from a full stretch getting his dad to lift him up to the bars and lower himself down |

I bought a kettlebell for home use whilst I can't get to the gym. I also bought a power tower (tm) which is currently sat outside in the back garden, waiting for warmer days to use
I find I can kettlebell without worrying about being cold outside.

personally, I work out at home and get good results (for me)
I get my cardio in a running club, or at park run though, I'd be too slack otherwise
never boxed, maybe wish I had, used to do full contact karate, never been so fit as then, I only did sparring, some of my mates went in the ring and gave it the full on. I wasn't very good, but it was fun, and I was stupidly fit. |

I went further and faster.
Still don't feel I'm pushing too hard but I'm definitely starting to notice a firming in the trouser department. |
