Chess players and fitness
On yahoo there is an article about symptoms of a heart attack. Do chess players have to or need to focus on fitness (not just for chess) but a healthy heart and avoid cholesterol, high blood pressure issues etc? Chess is a sport or a hobby (dependent on what definition you look at) but should one just have their work life and chess or does one need to keep fit as well?
Taking chess in the Midlands a level up!

Re: Chess players and fitness
I think Chess players are not very fit to be honest........but depends really, I know Rosalin Keiron runs in marathons.
My fitness is
4-6 90 minutes weights
8-10 HIIT cardio sessions
3 or 4 pre comp , 1-3 hour martial arts work.
Sadly......Im a awful chess player , so don't really count towards your Q
