The "all jokes aside" pole fitness thread
The last thread I can find (and correct me if I'm wrong) fizzled out in 2011 - possibly due to the trolling. Have taken up pole fitness (no not dancing - after 2 hours of training there is nothing seductive about me on a pole :rotfl:) I love it (tho am black and blue and my 4 years old can climb better than me) and have…

Advice for someone completely new to gyms and trying to slim
Hi everyone, Recently, I have noted that I have, sadly, put on quite a bit of weight. I am aware of why I have put it on but I want to get it off.

Help with recent gait analysis

Just bought 2 second hand dual suspension mountain bikes for £40 :T, and have replaced the brake pads on the front of the one that I will be riding as they were none existent, but now they squeak :rotfl:, is this because the pads have a coating that needs to wear off or have I done something wrong?
