G'day
Sorry for the thread mine but I am very interested in these discussions. I am 6'1" and about 220. I have been trying to beat my genes all of my life and have a tendency to get fat fast. Add a love of beer, pastries and good food and it's a bad recipe. THE best ever exercise I have done is also the simplest to do, easiest to access, cheap and VERY effective.
Kettlebells.

I have tried weights, running, cycling, swimming, and personal trainers. All have been effective but nothing comes close to the effectiveness of Kettlebells. Check the 'swing' exercise out and think what position your body is in when in the attack position? Your wife will also love you for it....pounding power!
I don't sell them either!
