Lifestyle tips

Doesn't seem possible but when visiting a friends Parentswe went for a walk up a hill I hadn't walked in years and yet this time it was a lot less struggle. I've put on probably 2 stone since last I climbed it, yet somehow was pretty easy. is it possible to be heavy but still active?

Of course. Building muscle helps. I am 230+ pounds with a big belly, but still work out and enjoy bicycling, playing tennis, bowling, etc. We fatties can do whatever we like, we just jiggle more while doing it!

Did an 11 mile hike with heavy rucksacks on dartmoor at weekend. Want to do more. Was good fun if a little painful!
