No wonder you can't put weight on softlad. All that mucking about in the gym. Get on the settee, put telly on and get tucked into some pies or pizza washed down with plenty of ale :closed:
Not at all! All done in the great outdoors: an avenue of trees in the fields opposite our office. :pQuote:

Basic Goal is sub 60 minutes in each and that'll do nicley.
Knee gone again so back to gym :(
Rower 15,000meteres in 59.19
50 mins on the crosstrainer.
1,000 cals I burned off apparently.
Two dinners for me then.

There's rather a lot of posts on this thread and I haven't read them all, so apologies if this has been covered, but does anyone on here use kettlebells either at a gym or at home? I just got one, and already my lower back pain seems to be going. Although that may be as much to having not run with a rucksack for three weeks now! So, any tips or opinions on kettlebells?
Sorry PB only use CV equipment.
Try and stop away from weights.
