Sports & fitness MoneySaving

I hope someone can advise. At 64 I decided to retire from my 'main' job a month ago and already feel as though I'm losing strength. I worked in a shop, running around, carrying heavy stuff etc, with very few breaks during the day. I calculated that I walked or ran almost 10000 steps during the working day. I often walked a…

Wondering what apps, if any, people use for exercise? I find it difficult to just "go for a run", so I've treated myself to the full version of Zombies, Run!! as I've gotten right into the story. I do wish Dungeon Runner would come out for Android though :( Any more "fun" apps, rather than ones that just track mileage,…

Hi I have just turned the dressed old 30 lol and wanted to know when we have to stop HITT etc when in 30's with being so old, is there a age that can cause heart attacks etc?

Can anyone recommend a good bike for a low price (£200 at most). Hybrid/Mountain wanted. I think cycling on britain's roads is suicide, and the cycle paths here are in the country. But not true offroad/dirt track.

I am 37 years old, just contemplating to start running again but a little concerned on the impact on my "crunching knee" For the last 6 months or so my left knee, makes a soft crunching noise when I get up or walk up the stairs. When I press on it with no standing pressure it sort of creaks very quietly! There is no pain…

Hello I served my 12 month contract with my gym and continued paying on what I assumed was a rolling contract after the 12 months. However. when I cancelled my direct debit last week as I no longer wished to continue my membership at the gym, the gym has contacted me to say I still owe them money because I'm supposed to…

hi all I am just looking for some help about a golf membership which I have had. I took out a 3 year membership which I thought was up in august, when I contacted the company they told me I was currently coming to the end of my 4th year.

I have a problem with my ankles "rolling" inwards apparently its called over pronation, I have not ruled out a visit to the doctors etc but wondered if any of the fit people here could recommend a good insole that would provide me with some support thanks Arthur

I have recently returned to yoga ( hatha) and my old mat is getting a bit degraded , so I'm going to need to upgrade. While it seems from looking around there is a lot of potential to spend a lot on looks or 'bling' I'm not bothered by that, but I really do feel a draw to work on a natural surface. I have had a bit of a…

Hi Sorry if this is the wrong section. I have recently purchased and assembled a forza 8x6 goal post for my son and I'm struggling with the locking pins. They are U shaped with a single fat pin on the outside and 2 small pins on the inside. The 2 small pins don't fit the holes on the goal post. The single fat pin does…

Am a frequent gym goer for 2 years now and my gym wardrobe is Women's Fitnesswear Nike and Addidas tops and all are supposed to be 'dri-fit' or sweat wicking or whatever terminology they each use but I find despite that, I get really sweaty really quickly - in fact seemingly I suffer from it more now than I did when I…

I am looking for an exercise bike and found this site (http://www.restylefitness.co.uk/find/Exercise-Bikes) They sell returns cheaply and I was wondering if anyone had bought from them - are they trustworthy etc ? Any downsides ?

Is there any good powerkites for a beginner/intermediate which will get a good amount of pull on a low end budget?

As the title says i'm looking at running watches and fitness equipment for cardio work. I have recently started going to the gym, taking part in classes and I am planning on doing a marathon next year. What i'm finding if I can do the classes but I struggle to keep pace and run out of breath easy. Because I'm quite new to…

They are proven to enhance sleep and developed by Dr Jason Ellis at the Northbria University (Centre of Excellence for Sleep Science). Does anyone on here have one?

After many years away and now being fat and unfit, I'm getting into running again. Got all my new kit now.... Any tips on getting back into it? Was thinking about doing some fast walks first with maybe the odd jog in between as concerned about shin splints and muscle tiredness Trying to decrease the belly and moobs is a…

I have standard iPhone headphones which are great normally but when I'm running they don't quite stay put for long enough. I prefer the in-ear type to buds or massive over-ear ones. Any recommendations? Preferably under £15 as I don't run often enough to justify spending a premium. If people say wireless headphones are…
