Exercise?? Does that come in tablet or Injection form, if so I'm up for some. Can I get that on prescription or is it over the counter????

You just have to move a bit more than usual, and report on here. It is free. Step in and step up.

Usual dog walk today, just managed to escape the rain! No cross trainer today but I did change the bedding on son's double bed - that is enough exercise! I can only mange a couple of minutes on the cross trainer I am so unfit :)

I could only manage 5 minutes at a time on the lowest setting on my exercise bike when I started. Now I can happily do the full 30 minutes if I have to with a fair bit of resistance. Little acorns and all that.

Wow there is a real interesting collection of exercise on here for today. The one that really had me groaning was the walking up 11 floors! Well done. I liked the changing the bed too. Changing a double duvet is really like an aerobic workout.

Changing a duvet cover is strenuous exercise. Especially if your son has a room like mine did when he was younger. Obstacle course.

I felt guilty because I just really played at it so I went for a walk after tea. Actually enjoyed it

NOT EXERCISE that scares people, the trick is to be ACTIVE

Even worse when you have mischievous cats who want to 'help' :rolleyes:
