Martial art to get fit

[Spacebadger]

I don't like an idea of fighting with someone..

 

I applaud you wanting to lose weight, get fit and have fun, but it just doesn't sound like 'proper' MA's are your cup of tea really. Boxercise?

 

A few asides - building muscle is actually a beneficial weight loss concept. All muscle mass consumes energy (calories) even when you're sat watching TV, muscles are never totally inactive. However, that doesn't mean you should just try and beefcake yourself slim and buff, for health you need cardio fitness too. A good mix is climbing and running/cycling, Sheffield is *rammed* with places you can learn climbing, which is very sociable, challenging and open ended, really is good fun. Don't think you're too old either, I've seen total geriatrics doing the same routes as teenagers.

 

And of course you've the Peak on your doorstep....

Good advice Spacebadger. Personally I think a good circuit training / boot camp ticks all the boxes for Ralph. Mix of cardio and weights.
