3 days since you started the thread, how much exercise has been done.

Do you have access to any gear Blacky, or are you looking for what you can do with Bodyweight alone?
Ok - well I have been to the gym each day. 3kms on a treadmill in one form or another.
Day one I clocked a 22:40, day two was 22:05 and today was 21:05.
I have looked into the triathlon thing and like the idea of it. Step 1 is 1 month of daily exercise. After that Ill step it up. I have drawn up a plan and will try and stick to it. Consistancy will be my biggest challenge.

My personal motivator is pain. I kinda like pain, and see how far I can go with it. I love when the elements make it tough.
At this stage I'm not concerned about my body weight. Just my fitness level, and mobility.
I do have access to gym equipment, but have no idea how to use any of it, and would rather not learn by trial and error. If I had access to an instructor I might consider it, but in the meantime Im sticking with what I know.
I have been to the gym a few times and feel pretty ok, except I am tired (might be more to do with my recent cold than the exercise). However, I have an insatiable thirst. Ive been drinking like 4l of water a day. Odd...

You're one of those weirdos that runs about with a gas mask on, aren't you?

I'm definitely not a fitness guru but wanted to mention some things I've seen -
1. In a Michael Mosely fitness doco it was pointed out that mornings is actually the worst time to exercise as it takes a while for the bodys 'rhythyms' to rise into day mode after a nights sleep. Basically going from slow (resting) to fast (exercising) isn't good. (Not to be confused with exercise bursts.)

◢Can I exercise on a fast day?
There is good evidence that people who exercise in the fasted state burn more fat. In one study men who exercised before breakfast burnt more fat than those who exercised afterwards. Exercise can also be a useful distraction if you begin feeling peckish. Don?t, however, attempt to do a lot of endurance training on a fasting day and if you feel uncomfortable, stop.
2. A recent story on 60 minutes pointed out the dangers of breath holding that swimmers (competitors) are encouraged to use. No benefits have been found using this technique. Many people (kids mainly) have died from it - it's called 'shallow water blackout'. Constant breath holding eventually tricks the brain and it forgets to send the "breath now" signal.
