    Well, i've done a good set of arms and tummy exercises tonight :)

    I really need to work on my food tomorrow, eating too much choccy! OH brought some back from Scotland as a gift, so i've had far too much access to it :o

    Hope the weather isn't too bad tomorrow, I may try and get out on the bike again.

    Going snowboarding tomorrow night, then badminton friday night, so at least I have some good cardio workouts coming up.. :D

    1.5 press ups today :T

    Night everyone ! My bed is calling :A

    Well done on the tummy and arms exercises - Keep it up:)

    well ive gone and done it

    i joined the gym, and ive goin every morning for a swim, as i dont get my induction til friday

    ive only swam for half hour then spent the other hour in the spa well i dont want to push myself too much too early do i :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    they are really friendly and have said when i ache to stop that this no pain no gain is rubbish, slowly slowly catchy monkey is the key for me, as ive not done any excersie in oooohhhhhh 15 years :eek:

    so ive taken my statistics down fron 1/7/08 and will then do it every month to check

    im going to do gym,- swim/spa - day off - gym - swim/spa,
    so ending the week gently ,

    Congratulations on taking the first step!!

    No pain no gain is a metaphor. Obviously if your in pain, pushing on through will probably do you harm:)

    What I take it to mean is that you should give in your all in what your doing (stop if it hurts though!), and whilst your muscles are recovering they will feel stiff (pain of sorts) - This is the pain I look for as it shows I've worked. It's not a pain really, but fits the metaphor :)

    Morning everyone :)

    "Oh what a beautiful moooooooooorning, oh what a beautiful day....I've got a beautiful feeling everything's going OUR way" :D....

    Don't ask me why I'm in such a good mood, could be the delayed reaction of the exercise...doubtful...but I really do hope everyone has a brilliant day today and good luck in acheiving all your daily goals :)

    Hello everyone!

    Another nice day up here in Yorkshire :) I hope it is elsewhere!

    Webitha - Well done on the gym, I certainly like the spa part ;)

    Sara - Ooooh, our own little ray of sunshine, keep it up! I could do with some of whatever you are on, I feel half dead today! :o

    Morning all...Well, did my hour's five-a-side yesterday, plus half hour or so on the wii fit...

    Planned a mountain bike ride for tonight, but G-G has me inspired - might try and do my second snowboarding lesson instead :)

    Never mind the fun, I just hope I don't tear a muscle lol:)

    Get off the sofa - You know it makes sense ;) You'll feel much better after even half an hours exercise......
