Can Fat Men Do An Iron Man Pt 3 – Total Immersion Swimming
I have regained 60lbs (having lost 170lbs); I have arthritic knees; I fall off my bike more regularly than Evel Knievel (look him up, Millennials) and I cannot swim. So my decision to sign up for an Ironman event in 2018 may seem a little reckless and a tad foolish. And it probably is. Ok, […]

Can Fat Men Do An Iron Man – Chapter Two

Can Fat Men Do…An Iron Man?
On Jan 9th 2011, I weighed myself and noted with horror the reading on the scale. 354lbs. On Jan 10th 2011, I told the world that I would run a marathon. Well, I told my office and a few people politely smiled and a few people laughed. How many times had I promised to myself […]

We sent Martin Dixon along to test it out and give us the view on whether it’s suitable for bigger guys. *********** Without knowing anything about it, even the term “fat electrocution” filled me with equal parts dread […]
Does 10,000 Steps Work For Weight Loss?
Stand-up comedian and MAN v FAT member Freddy Quinne is currently challenging himself to a no-gym weight loss experiment. Rather than spending £30 per month on a gym, he’s spending the same budget on an alternative healthy device. This month he’s spent his cash on a pedometer. The Chinese philosopher and founder of Taoism Lao […]
Can Fat Men Do CrossFit?
Over on Facebook we’ve always enjoyed giving a bit of grief to the very vocal CrossFit community, just because very occasionally they can sound the eensiest bit like a cult and because we’re jerks like that. One passionate CrossFitter and MAN v FAT member Mike Halewood got in touch to defend his hobby, so we took […]
#ProjectGarry The Results: Did A Bootcamp Make A Difference?

For me it is a perfect boost for that initial […]

It’s fair to say that we’re more excited than Joffrey Lannister at a public execution. Now, regardless of whether you’re feeling more like Samwell Tarly than Jamie Lannester and regardless […]
