Hi everyone,

My name is Mike and I am a Dad of two young girls.

I want to life a healthier lifestyle both mentally and physically. I live and work in Chesterfield, Derbyshire.

Welcome... Iโ€™m in Derbyshire too but right up in the north west corner. Great place to come with those goals, this will help mentally and physically a lot. Also, well done for doing this and setting a good example to your two daughters... show them that being fit and healthy takes some effort but is so worthwhile. Keep enjoying it, and youโ€™ll be amazed how quickly you progress.
