Now there is no way I can be considered overweight but look around most morris teams and you will probably see one or two rotund bodies.
Yet men still join us with the intention of using morris to loose weight.
Yes you will loose weight and yes you will most certainly get a lot fitter. If you lay off the beer as well then you may even become slim, but don't bank on it.
When Harry joined us a few years ago he confessed that he had two left feet was over six feet tall, overweight and unfit.
The first hour of learning he sweated gallons and couldn't understand why we weren't.
Today he is still over six feet tall, much fitter and does indeed way less than before he joined us.
