well, I managed another 25 miles on the mountain bike last night, pretty hard work tbh - it was getting dark, so really had to push myself to get back...having a rest today, then will try some running tomorrow...

Good stuff Glass Half Empty & Idiophreak! :j :j

I've got quite a busy day today but I'll make sure I get an hour's exercise, probably on the home equipment

Morning all and how are we this fine day? (Even sounded half cheerful there)

My leg feels better and I'm gonna be hitting the gym this avvy. Can't catch up what I've lostthis week but next week will be a big one for me personally.

I think someone told me you can get a lotion for spider sense tingling, think they said it was called "spanish fly"?

Nah I don't think so. If that was the case the bad guys in the Spiderman films would've coated him in that stuff and taken him out in the first film!

Jeeez - you guys have been busy with the banter this morning already

I've just dragged myself up.. Got in at 11pm last night after 2 hrs of snowboarding and I feel like a train wreck! :laugh: My legs, arms, back, feet etc are killing me, but at least I know I pushed myself

I may or may not take to mountain bike out today..

Tomorrow i'm either snowboarding or playing badminton, or me and the bro-in-law had the crazy idea of maybe doing both :eek: but, we shall see if he can get the day off or not.

Sunday I am climbing Ingleborough if the weather is nice I did Pen-Y-Ghent a few months back, so it should be fun and hard work.

Apart from that, weights today I think.. I had a day off the weights yesterday, so i'm going to go for it again today. They still ache a little (well my Pecs do) so should I do more or not? My actuall biceps & triceps don't hurt.

Well done everyone! Especially Glass Half Empty who has started at the gym again, first session is always the hardest, but it should get more fun and easily from now on!

I guess it's just down to how much they hurt, really, I tend to leave mine while they're really sore (they just don't work as well, anyway), but once they're just feeling a little warm after a day of so, I tend to go dor it...You could always just to an arms workout and leave your pecs another day to recover...

It depends on how much they ache. This early into your resistance routine, it may be best to leave the pec weights and concentrate on other muscle groups.

I'm sure he won't!!

:rotfl: okay, okay, rollerblading it is.. I don't want to push you

Yeah, I will leave the pecs for today, or maybe do them this evening after they have had more time to rest. They don't hurt badly, just a little bit.

I've got a little wheel thing that I do my tummy with aswell now




That isn't me in the picture by the way...
