With dodgy knees the lower the impact the better for me. I was thinking about going on 2 walks a week for about 30 mins each time? Bearing in mind I have a very sedentary lifestyle other than lifting. | ||

 Sports an extremely muscular arse. Member 38, 6253 posts | When you say conditioning, do you literally just mean *not being a fat f**k* or do you like actually mean conditioning work for a sport? | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | I mean like not being a fat f**k, combining diet with this 'conditioning' (maybe it was the wrong word) but hopefully increasing general fitness when doing it | ||

If it's just exercising to get out the house there's nothing better than a bike ride, doesn't even have to be fast or difficult just go and cycle to somewhere you've not been before or for a long time near where you live. Sorts your life out and gets you ready for a f@#kin whopping roast dinner on a Sunday afternoon. | ||

 next comp I want to enter the platform via zipwire Member 4872, 992 posts SQ 237.5, BP 142.5, DL 265645.0 kgs @ 99kgs UnEq | Best conditioned and least of a fat f**k I've been in recent years in when I was doing BJJ. Find an activity/sport and do that once a week, if it's something enjoyable and interesting you'll stick with it. And then there's the bonus of developing a skill if you pick something like a martial art, or swimming or climbing or something. | ||

Member 4611, 630 posts SQ 160, BP 120, DL 210490.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq | thank you for the suggestions, I would love to go on a walk in the countryside, or if my knees could take it pick up a martial art. Swimming is also a nice idea! Its interesting to see what other people do - definitely need to do something | ||

 hermit Member 3904, 988 posts | Doing something that uses your whole body in a way that challenges balance, flexibility, co-ordination etc really helps fill in "the gaps" that only lifting weights leaves. It ties everything together and makes your body feel a whole lot better. If you want to stick to indoors could be martial arts like has already been suggested, boxing, some kind of gymnastics or even dancing! or for something that lets you get outdoors, simple playing football or sprinting. These help recovery imo, cycling is fun but I think it hinders recovery and doesn't have the benefit of using your whole body like other stuff. | ||

Worst thing is the effect of armbars and the like on pressing. | ||
