Surfing Waves

Whats everyone up to?
I'm knackered but not sure why... I seem to be getting worryingly used to these 4 day weeks!

Having a flat warming on sat which will be fun (i hope)

Im at work again ! At least my shoulder is now healing after trapping some nerves , managed to swim 1/2 mile this morning !

Good work Rev. I need to get swimming again.
Did a proper weights sess last night and 5 a-side in a minute so i may finally start to shed those last few pounds if i carry on like this!

Thanks mate, i will back to swimming a mile on Tuesday morning, and Thursday morning, the rest of the week in the gym, pyramid weight lifting ? I think that means less reps but with more weights ?

Having a week off with my bad shoulder, its taking a little while to get back into the routine again

How'd you damage yourself rev?


As for me, I'm off sick. I was planning on blagging tommorow off sick so I can have a three day weekend to go surfing, but sods law, I AM ill now, and the surf forecast is poo-ey.

trying to find The Fear for my exams

cannot find it!

Not too sure how i did it, i thought it was a pulled muscle from weight lifting, but it took ages to heal, spoke to my Doc, and he gave me a load of pain killers. So ive been trying to rest it, havnt rode my Motorcycle for ages !

Pity about you being ill mate, speedy recovery

Thanks Pauls, a mile at my swimming pool is 80 lengths. Every morning at 8.00am im in the pool or at the gym. My ma and grandma have paid for me to join a health spa, it also helps with my depression at the moment and it is getting me fitter, done it for about 3 months now !

Good for you mate

Is the pool pretty quiet early morning?...I need to get into a fitness routine....

Yep, this morning i was the only one in the pool, and at busy times there could be a least 3 of us ! And im on my own in the gym as well ! Its just a nice place to be,

Keep up the good work dude...

Ive not been proper swimming for years, think im gonna haul my lazy ass out of bed and just do it...

I must admit the first couple of weeks it was difficult to get of of bed, but once i got into the routine , no worries ! Good luck to you mate, it is worth it in the end !

lmao .. i joined a new gym two weeks ago .. went for my induction and errr... kinda ... err havnt been back yet !! ..

i could go tonight but then i wouldnt be a thursday waster and i take these waster achievements very seriously lmao

Heya....


Its nice to hear all of this talk about fitness routines....personally i love being active, i guess im one of those people that if im not doing anything ...i start to twitch a little!

I swim a mile in the morning 3 times a week...takes me about half an hour, im trying to push for 2 miles in an hour. (depends on who is in the lane though!) Then run 7 miles 3 times a week as well...as well as a bit of yoga on the side....trying to fit it in with work is a mission though!

RevSboy...your so right its very worth it in the end! And can do wonders for things like depression. Drs now actually have to pescribe 30 mins of exercise a day before they can pescribe antidepressants.

Bloody hell Jennie! You must be uber fit!!
I've started my running again but am doing it with my g/f and she is a beginner so its 3 milers top atm. Hopefully get her up to a couple of 5 milers a week and an occasionaly 7 at the weekend. That'd be good

Started doing my weights again last week and already feeling much better for it!

Fox, I know how you feel, I was supposed to go on a sweet climb/hike last week but got too sick, then had to take 2 days off to get better. Still getting over it.

I started trail running recently, well before I got sick. Ran 7 miles last week on the trail. It was nice. Took us like a little under an hour.

.. lol.. ive given myself a three day a week schedule at the gym .. starting from next week .. and a couple of nights a week playing footy with lil'man ..and the usual once a week swimming sesh and my overdue cycling twice a week will begin as soon as the robbing fleshers at halfords have fixed my old GT !

I do have a far more enjoyable way of keeping fit .. which hopefully will be ressumed at some point this summer

Seems everyones going for the pre-summer fitness thing.

A few of the guys at work have a bet on at the mo as to who can lose the most weight before August 1st. Theyre all cabbies and therefore arent the fittest at the best of times - one of them is aiming for a 5 stone drop (dont think the early morning bacon sarnies are doing him any good though).

Im going head to head with one of the other girls in the office - I wanna lose about 2 stone (put on one and a half since January 2006) and shes aiming for 3 stone. Shes already trying to convince us that her new jeans are a size 12 - silly cow didnt notice that the size 16 label sticks out when she sits down

Weve also got one girl trying to put ON weight. Shes a size 4/6 (naturally) at the mo and wants to get upto a 10.

Jennie, you thought about being a personal trainer? Or maybe SW's virtual trainer....
