New to golf - what brand of clubs
I am looking for a new set of golf clubs and am happy to build my own set rather than buying a bag full of already selected clubs. I used to play many moons ago when I was a young teenager but now in my 30’s, would like to pick it up again. I’m not too fussed about what brands, mainly because I don’t know which are best.…

Recumbent Exercise Bike - Programmes
Hey everyone, I'd like to get a recumbent exercise bike, having tried one on holiday, however, I'm unsure how I'd monitor my progress/get workout plans etc. The one I had looked at was s NordicTrack one which would use the ifit platform, which has a monthly fee of say 12-14 quid I think, and there seems to be quite a few…

Fpro ball mastery starter kit – worth it?
I need opinions: I’ve been looking at the Fpro ball mastery starter kit which costs $176.00. There’s a coupon code sporty20 for 20% off, so the price becomes a bit more reasonable. It actually looks like a really cool gift idea for my son with the new season coming up. From what I’ve seen, the app comes with a huge amount…

Can a smart watch replace me carrying my phone?
Hi, I’m not sure if this is possible, I have never owned a fit or smart watch. I’m working through C25K and currently carrying my iphone with some ear buds.

I've let my exercise slip for a little while now. Used to do weights twice a week and a little jogging. Can anyone recommend social media people to follow or podcasts to listen to which are meant for people like me who've lapsed or are just getting started and need motivation?
