Contemplated some January challenges but I'm off the scale unfit/overweight. As others have said... I'd generally want to improve health fitness, keep earning and be doing stuff with my kids. But another part of me wants to live on a desert island or other remote isolation or some substantial challenge...but then that feels selfish when you have a young family, so then I'm looking at holidays like active / adventure, although somewhat limited by one of my kids health issues (location wise) but still if nothing else it's a distraction to the next couple of months, think I'll be glad to see the days lengthen and getting kids out in the water.

Used to like doing weights and some boxercise/bjj stuff but not since my twenties, started picking up injuries going into my thirties, get away with sporadically training and punishing your body earlier in life. In hindsight I'd have moved somewhere with wilderness on the doorstep I think. Kids are settled in school now, I've grown tired of driving an hour each way for a short mooch. Going to have to find something other than just my walks, I have a kick about with the kids each week but I don't relish it. I've actually signed them up for a club now to have a kick about,so no more of that. I've always enjoyed swimming, might start off with some lessons and see where it leads.... Get a bike mate . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have only partaken in cycling in recent years to bike the dog, it's bearable but it's one thing on a summers evening, on a certain lane or two, but downright dangerous and not something I can say I've enjoyed since I was 13 cycling around rural Berkshire when it bore me freedom and adventure, or maybe 6 mile cycle to bus/ cinema.... Unless you mean a exercise bike?. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
