Exercise !!!!

[Quak]

I really want a treadmill but the decent ones are not cheap are they? You put me to shame

 

[Spinoza]

I got mine half price in the January sale two years ago in JJB Bren - best £250 I've ever spent. Not the best but not the worst treadmill either. There were all-singing all-dancing ones for over a grand, but this one has done me proud!

You could buy one as a belated chrismas present to each other?

 

[Quak]

The missus does NOT run lol - she has asthma and low blood pressure - I tried many years ago to get her to come jogging with me but we got about 20 yards and she gave in and went home - however she is thinking about a rowing machine quite seriously at the mo - and is willing to sell the drums I bought her last year to make room in the attic...................(she has used them precisely twice and was amazed at how loud they were lol)

 

[Spinoza]

Ooooh, that's weird! I was just today thinking that I would like a drumkit - it must be very cathartic to hammer the bejaysus out of them!

What about ear plugs?

 

[Quak]

Think it is the effect on the neighbours she is thinking about

 

[Jim]

LOL, poor neighbours.

morning, bren how about a cross trainer instead?
i did 50 min walk yesterday on the beach - was gorgeous. bitter but blew away the cobwebs i tell you!

today
am - Shake weight - 100 leg masters and 5 mins cross trainer
pm - (hopefully) 5-10 mins step, 10-15 mins cross trainer. it really hurts your legs!

 

[Quak]

Ah god no, being so short they are the most uncomfortable experience I have ever had, have to reach far to much and feel like I am pulling my body out of shape, worry about my back as it has been a problem in the past!

 

[LVLLM]

ah never thought of that. they havent designed them very well then have they?

 

[Spinoza]

Yes I'd never have thought of that either Bren, but they would be darn near impossible if I was 11 inches shorter!

 

[LVLLM]

an extra 13 mins cross trainer and 10 mins step im getting there with the cross trainer - my legs are getting solid!

 

[Spinoza]

Good on you Vicky. I bet I couldn't do 3 minutes on a cross-trainer!

 

[LVLLM]

erm with your running - you would outdo me!

 

[Spinoza]

No, seriously - I'll get on next time I'm passing one and report back. Bet I throw the towel in after 30 seconds...

 

[LVLLM]

i reckon you would do half hour no problem xxx

 

[Quak]

I have actually got my backside in gear and done 3/4 hour walk with dogbert - he loved it as the grass was frosty so he did loads of headsurfing and throwing himself about lol

 

[Spinoza]

Awwww, what a cutie he sounds Bren!

 

[Dietkitty]

I have a bad back at the mo so not doing anything

 

[LVLLM]

morning
am 6 mins cross trainer, shake weight, 100 leg masters
pm - hoping for 20 mins cross trainer although my legs are hurting!, 10 mins step

 

[Quak]

Don't overdo it - still early days, you don't want to pull anything
