My names Howard; as regards using the gym, I don't want to come across like I know it all, but I've been using the gym for over 40 years; back in the early days, very few joined up or used the gym. I joined the gym while I was at school; I was reasonably fit anyway. I'm about 5ft:6, with pretty broad shoulders at that time. I was pretty fit and did many sports during school and after school activities, such as football, swimming, subaqua diving, and basketball. So after I left school, I joined the gym; it was in 1979, it was a wrestlers gym, perfect for what I wanted to do, which was mainly cardio with a bit of weight training
