Sludge's post earlier made me think about mental health and how exercise can be important to, and a regular form of exercise can help.

Anyway, after this week is done (got a bit on) I'm going to start small with runs and slowly build up to a comfortable distance I can do a few times a week (I've read daily can sometimes have a negative impact)

As I'm mid 30s and a generally well liked bloke in my local area I'm not too worried about self defence for defence reasons, but I think a regular class of some sort would also help with routine. Anyone have any suggestions? I can't be arsed with a boxing gym as it'll be full of try hards and wannabes and I'm not looking for sparring with a few young lads who would knock me around the ring as I breathe out my arse.. any suggestions please?
