About 3 years ago following my 60th birthday my GP recommended I have a comprehensive heart check. Although I felt fine, it disclosed that a lifetime of relatively sedentary but stressful work, sporadic exercise and undisciplined eating and drinking, had wrought the usual havoc-moderate coronary and carotid artery disease, blood pressure and body weight outside normal limits.
Although the treating doctors did not suggest I was about to die, they prescribed a pot pourri of daily medications and gently hinted that changing my life style might be a good idea-otherwise…. I was, however, quite shocked: whatever remained of my youthful illusion of immortality vanished overnight. I was just another middle aged (elderly?) male on the downhill slide to oblivion. In short it was a wakeup call.
By chance I stumbled into the Regenesis Gym at Edgecliff and met up with Jarrat Wood, Personal Trainer.
