Health or Get Fit Board

Brian Houlihan

Some board where we can share tips etc. on health fitness

precisely, i give three thumbs up

I have been sceptical to date about something like this, however having gone from 100kg to 83kg over the last few months (note the decline in my post rate), perhaps a "Get Fit" type board might be possible (/me looks at all the stressed-out, anxious, depressed and over-weight computer users on boards), but I don't think a Health or Medicine board is appropriate.

I'd very much appreciate a "get fit" board, cuz i'm trying to get fit at the mo and thing that a boards like that would be good.

Lifestyle seems a good idea.

So how about a board for this sort of content -
Health/Fitness
Food/Nutrition
Style/Fashion

Actually, that sounds good rather than the exclusivity afforded to Health and Fitness- I think we've needed a place to talk about fashion and clothes for a while now- dont know too many nudist, naturists that use boards so I think it would attract some traffic, if in the least being applicable to most

Some kind of board where folk can discuss fitness etc would definitely be a good idea - we have a few people who are pretty knowledgable about this stuff (Jak, logic1 and Trojan all come to mind) and rather a lot of people, like myself, who could do with eating a few less pies and spending more time running up and down hills ...

Turner

yes bring on Health/Fitness board.

I think this would be a good idea as well.

I have been on weight loss program for the last few months and I've lost approx 15kgs and plan to lose the same amount again so I'd love somewhere to ask advice etc.

Thumbs up from me.

Shinji, you eat ALL the pies!

Sounds like a good idea... I'll make it when CAKE tells me.

Theres plenty of lewdists to make up for them.

Brian Houlihan

glad to see ppl up for it

RicardoSmith

Good idea...but you'd have to make sure no one gives medical advice as that could cause legal problems. I know that the OcUk forums don't allow any medical advice for this reason.

Brian Houlihan

i found a ocuk forum but it was about computers, url for forum

DeVore

I'll be creating this soon, Brian and Jayk are mods.

It will be under sport.

Brian Houlihan

Hey,
Any idea when the offical date will be. I hope I can help you all by giving personal advice that has helped me lose the pounds. I'm not going to reccomend products etc. I am gonna help by giving normal tips like. Cardio 2-3 times a week, increasing pace or distance monthly etc.

I hope I can help people. And if I feel I am leaving people down I will step down. Also I promise to be dedicated, advertising the board, keeping it all in order etc. and I may and try get a fitness instructor or someone with good fitness to give us tips etc. and I may try start a weekly diary where we can all give updates of how we did this week, etc.

Again I am glad to be a help.

Thank you to everyone at boards.ie

DeVore

Thats created now under After Hours, its called Fitness.

They had a few medical threads in their General Discussion area but that was stopped as apparently they got legal advice not to allow that kind of subject on their forums, in case someone got duff info and acted on it and then sued 'em.

So they don't have one.

This might beof interest, but I can't read the full piece.
