Exercise is good for you.

[Patti (baconater)]

Yeah. And no one knows you're doing it, if you can keep the grin off your face. ;)

[Jud]

Oh and men too!

[Kath]

What! Keep the men off your face? What thread have I stumbled upon?

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh you know our Jud.

Sex crazed.

[Jud]

Of course! I've got to keep warm somehow.

[Adam]

A basket! Patti, what a super idea.

[Patti (baconater)]

Thanks Adam. It takes effort to be this lazy, you know. ;)

[Jud]

Yay! I actually got out for a run this morning! Well I say run but I had to take Oscar so there were a few pee stops and rabbit sniffing sessions. It was only a 10 minute 'run' but all the same I finally did it.

[Simon (Highwayman)]

I used to go to the gym 4 times a week, cycle to work every day and run at weekends. After a knee injury I stopped everything. I am just realising that stopping has been a terrible mistake. I am going to start again after a weekend going up and down hills I feel better than I have for some considerable time

I spent the last 2 days wielding a hedge trimmer to cut down the weeds in the large vegetable patch. It works a treat (I just run it along the ground and it takes everything down) but involves a lot of bending.
So now I've a sore back.
Actually I have a cunning plan to cover the areas I've cleared with black plastic and stop anything re-growing. I want to cut down the time I spend weeding each year so I've more time for sowing/planting and tending stuff that is supposed to be growing.
No pain no gain?

Um - strimmer? :)

Holy Moses the walk to work is worse than the run with Oscar. I'm having to carry the laptop bag that I was left with last night Nd it keeps making my dress ride up! Aberdeen is getting an eye full this morning.

Hope you didn't keep stopping to pee and sniff rabbits like you did this morning!

[Jud]

No, not rabbits this time, I caught the scent of Mr Fox.

Yay :)

Well, I'm trying very hard to get to the gym regularly. When I was working on Knutsford it was fairly easy - Monday, Wednesday, Friday. However, since working here I am generally knackered on Mondays and travelling home on Friday.

I'm working on it though, got to the gym yesterday afternoon, I'm hoping for a swim tomorrow and the gym again on Thursday. Here's hoping.

It was so much easier with a day off in between.

[Patti (baconater)]

looking at the map, we walked at least 15 or 20 klics today. on 35C heat
exercise makes me sweaty.

[Shaun]

I was sweating yesterday after sparring for 30 minutes in the heat we've currently got! Waiting for it to cool down a little this evening before going for a jog.

[Kasia]

I am sweating just reading what you have been up to. Now, where's that biscuit?

Lol

[Shaun]

For those who can get apps on their phones, seek out the 7 minute workout. Do three sets of that and you'll get a sweat on. I really like it.

[Patti (baconater)]

Sweat???

No thanks.

You do it. I'll watch.

[Kath]

I'm just going yo exercise me teeth!

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh is my bacon buttie ready Ignite? Thank you!

[Andy]

My favourite (solo) exercise is swimming, but getting to the local baths is a bit of a pain so I tend to jog around our local park whenever the weather permits it. It's got a few hills which add a bit of a challenge (although getting past the ice cream vans without stopping for a 99 is the trickiest part).

[Patti (baconater)]

Oh well, if we're gonna discuss solo exercise.....

;)

Misery.

Great book that.

I can sort your dodgy ankle for you, Shaun.

Quick, Shaun! Get in your cockadoodie car and drive to the hills!

[Patti (baconater)]

Yes Shaun. Do.

I've been waiting...

[Shaun]

Great book. Rubbish film. I'd rather run to the hills though ;)

[Patti (baconater)]

Completely agree, Shaun.

Have you seen the new horror discussion thread I opened this morning?

[R.M.F.]

Is exercise good for you? I'll let people decide after telling them this story that was in the newspaper: A few years ago, when Boris Yeltsin died aged 82 (20 stone in weight, 6 bottles of vodka a day!) a fitness instructor aged 23 dropped dead on a treadmill...poor guy.

[Patti (baconater)]

Good grief!

I need to increase my vodka intake!

[Shaun]

People of all types die every day. Some have problems they don't know about, but I'd rather be a good looking corpse than an out of shape one ;)

[Jud]

You'd be a dream to dissect Shaun.

Oops did I just say that out loud?

[Patti (baconater)]

Lmao!

Some people really enjoy completing the Times Cryptic, so there must be in very rude health indeed (and perhaps laminate their newspaper too).

I'm so sorry.

True, but at least would be well preserved from that vodka! :)

..beginning with rats before moving on to women... Deary deary me!

[Elle]

Strength workout for tomorrow morning booked into with a friend. The guy who takes it is just the devil really. I always ache for days after.

Aren't all of you proud of me? I saw Jim's post hours ago and I've not said a word.

[Emma]

I am soooo missing exercise! It'll be a few days til I can get back to the gym and it can't come soon enough! Sorts out my head as well as my fitness!

[Michael]

I'll agree with that, Emma.

It's amazing the difference that a workout can make. I can go into the gym feeling fed up and annoyed, and come out feeling as bright as a button.

I pumped some furious iron tonight.

Mind you, the deluge of exposed penises in the changing rooms can be off putting.

Perhaps you should try pumping iron somewhere other than the male changing room?

[Patti (baconater)]

Hehehehehe.

I don't know why people bother with gyms. As somebody once said, the world is your gym - the mountains, the rocks, the trees!

That's ok so long as you have a pair of good knees on you, if you don't then you need a gym
