sshhhhh...keep her talking while I tidy up a bit!Welcome home Jamrox, hope we haven't made too much of a mess while you've been away.
Ah,@Pollylocks you have a bodyblade? Do you recommend it? I am looking for new exercise. Have been trying resistance bands. Ok, except for the exercises that need you to anchor the band to a door handle. Yeah right, my weight pulling on a band attached to the door handle. I have visions of launching said door handle like an Exocet missile.
Thanks @Pollylocks....I've had a bodyblade for ages @Pipp, it was stuck in the cupboard till I joined when we used to be New You in 42....its great fun, takes a while to get used to though, the co-ordination, it takes you over first of all until you get into the habit of it.....you stand or sit still when you use it but don't let that fool you, it will give you a bloody good workout lol......I can't manage more than ten minutes and as far as I remember, they recommend a couple of minutes when you first start..
Especially zand and me!OK Jamrox....we've all been as good as gold while you've been away...........
Just living up to my reputation as a creep!Especially zand and me!
Oh I so empathise!I'm not enthusiastic and often get on my bike under duress. What I am is overweight, diabetic and with higher BP than I or my GP like so I'm finding fear as good a motivator as you can get. I've made excuses for 20 years about my weight and lack,of exercise- I figure that I'd like another 20 yrs to make excuses about things so I have to get off my derrière the size of a small African state and peddle.
I think it's called being human, Zand! I do not care for exercise either! Unless it's walking on my own listening to music!OK so there's something I've been meaning to say ever since @Pollylocks was brave a while back. This is something I am extremely ashamed of. The reason I haven't exercised much this week is 'cos I've had other things to sort out. On Friday it was hot and I was thirsty so I had 2 cans of cider and one of lager. That's not OK because I shouldn't be drinking at all because I have a problem with alcohol. So I've not been exercising because I've had to sort myself out and stop again. Then I had to start sorting my BG's again....5.5 a few mins ago. So now those two things are under control again I'm back with the exercise as from tomorrow. I hope you can all understand me a bit better and why I am so inconsistent sometimes now. I just can't push myself on so many fronts at once because I crumble
Good to have you back jamrox!Cold ethyl I think that sums it up for me.
I'm not long home. Watching opening of commonwealth games.
Family have gone to neighbours but im tired. After catching up with these posts I am motivated and I'm going to nightie dance to the music. ..slowly.
