Fitness and lack of it.

[cryingfreeman]

Fitness is fine but I'm against overdoing it. Why? Because unless you are operating as a lone wolf survivalist, you'll be slowed down by the slowest members of your party, which in my case would be my two toddlers.

Another caution: contact sports. I don't get paid £100K a week playing professional football so do i really want to risk being lame in middle age having a kickabout with my mates?

Consider this list: severed hamstring, dislocated shoulder, crushed nerve in the leg, groin strain, crippling (literally) sciatica... I have suffered all of those and for what? I've been left with weakness in key parts of my body that I will never recover from.
