Fitness for Life???

Donna thank you for giving me a laugh this morning :lol:

I like the sound of this scheme, I will look into if they do anything like it here. But I think I will steer clear of yoga :lol:

Ha Ha!! That's one of the main reasons I'm not even attempting to do yoga. You probably ruined it for ever for the poor dear now!:oops:

Have tried a couple of time now to reply to your horseplay postings but both were chucked out ........ Was it something I said??

i often worrie bout my fitness but so tired and energyless all the time, but i might go down there and find out if they do a course for M.E sufferers

It's funny I gp as offered to enroll me onto fitness for life classes, but I refused. In my area it is mostly older people who go. When I fel up to it I go for a swim.

Hi All

Thanks for the laugh, Donna :lol: The mental image was great!

We have this scheme in Rochdale and I was refered to a local gym with my afformentioned shoulder problem. At the risk of sounding snobby it was full of benefit scallys (this is a problem here as you may have heard lately) with personal hygiene issues! :oops:

I decided I would be better off swimming :surfer: and headed off to the pool :D Have not swum for a while but thinking of doing so. Any advice? :P

Do I conserve my energy or will the benefits of excersise out weigh the cost?

I think the correct spelling is exercise, Dale :? I find words never seem to look right these days - in fact absolutely nothing looks right, especially me - I got a real :shock: when I looked at me in the wedding photos. I hope very much a touch of airbrushing can be used in the final ones. Talk about a tired, old bag!!

Back to exercise - well I tried swimming ages ago and a) the smell of chlorine made me feel sick and b) standing on one leg trying to shoehorn myself into my cossie was a non-starter :weird: so that was the end of that. The only thing I really can do is walk the dog (or the dog walks me actually) and I think this is sometimes more than I should do judging from the aches and pains the next day.:dog:

It's all soooo frustrating .............

I love walking my dog. as I have said before somewhere, if you are really out of it all you need to do is go to the nearest field or rec, let the dog off and then just walk 100 yds and turn 180 degrees and them 100 yds and turn, 100 yds and turn. You do a minimum of walking and the dog wears itself out chasing back and forth to keep up with you. Or invest in one of those long arm things with a claw at the end that picks up and tosses a tennis ball. then just find a seat, sit on it and keep chucking the ball for the dog to chase.

After all, it's the dog that needs the exercise. Do you really think I would go tramping round in the wet for my own benefit :roll:

Well, I'm not letting Roxy off the lead ever again after what happened last week (dog fight :yikes: ). Have tried one of those ball throwing wotsits but the pain from my throwing arm the next day is excrutiating.

In fact, everything is one big pain at the moment. :wah:
