I walk and cycle everywhere and before the RSI used to do a bit of home working out… just stretches, pushups, situps and weights really. It’s pretty easy.

Of course, being a skinny little fucker I don’t have to worry too much about weight gain…

Re: exercise. I know you wrote that you despise competition, but give fencing some consideration. It’s a great workout, it’s fun, it fulfils those D’Artagnan fantasies so many of us have kicking around in the back of our skulls… ahem.

Anyway, I don’t know what the situation is like in the UK, but here (Western Canada) most clubs supply all your equipment if you sign up for lessons, and you can buy it all for about $150 to $200 Canadian (I’m guessing 75 to 100 pounds). Cheaper than exercise equipment.

Exercise? Well I was forced into it by my back/ neck trouble, so if I have to do stretching/ walking/ running/ yoga/ sitting on exercise bike, I don’t see why you shouldn’t! Actually, there really is an endorphin release which helps. That and not being in pain. Chris does a certain amount of weight-lifting but I find that very dull. An ipod certainly helps with the running.
