Editor getting fit4fifty!

warrington-worldwide Editor Gary Skentelbery has embarked on a fit4fifty campaign while at the same time helping raise funds for two local good causes.
“A review of recent holiday snaps and with the scales starting to creak at nearly 18 stone and my half-century looming on the horizon, it inspired me to get “fit4fifty.”
“Having previously been on a diet, which nearly killed me – quite literally, I decided it was time for some urgent action and have enlisted the help of personal trainer.”
“My first dieting experience in my early 30s left me in hospital with gallstones and an operation, which didn’t quite work out, resulting in emergency surgery and accidentally over dosing on morphine! That diet involved cutting all fatty foods out of my diet – which effectively caused my gallbladder to pack in.
“A second diet in my 40s saw me shed a couple of stone but as soon as I ended it the weight, as it does for many people, piled back on.”
Now with a proper diet plan recommended by Paul Mason from Cheshire Personal Training, which included a 30 day de-tox, cutting out all processed foods, caffeine, chocolate, bread and alcohol, the weight has started to fall off.
Paul has more than 30 years experience in the health and fitness industry.
“To maintain the weight loss I now have a new fitness regime, which I can work around my busy schedule and a healthy diet 80 per cent of the time. If I stick to this I am told the weight will stay off – especially after re-booting my metabolism, which had become very sluggish,” added Gary.
” As well as improving my health I also intend to improve the wealth of two local charities I am involved with, The Tim Parry Foundation4Peace, where I am a patron and the “Warrington Disability Partnership, where I am a trustee.
“By going public with my campaign it will help me retain focus and hopefully inspire others to get themselves back into shape.
