Fair enough. I'll leave that little difference of opinion between the two of you. I assumed perhaps erroneously that you were were labelling those who enjoy a certain amount of exercise as 'fanatics'.

I am happy that you enjoy exercising Floydy, but we don't all find it all consuming, to such as me gardening, diy or walking the dogs is just a part of the day nothing more, and is done for the pleasure, not the effect.


No, not fanatical Barry. But Floydy was inviting anyone who was interested in exercising to share their experiences on this thread because there seems to be just three or four people who are regular contributors and I believe there are more people on the forum who enjoy exercising and it would be interesting to hear their stories.

I suggested that there might be more suitable threads for someone who is so averse to exercising, for example, I don't post on the gardening thread because I know very little about gardening so I leave it to the experts. Having said that Barry, this thread is open to all, as is the gardening thread, so your contribution would be gratefully received.....Perhaps you might like to run a 10K road race in the near future, you might be surprised, some people find running in their later life....I could train you....And you could design my garden?

If you belong a gym or go for a jog, or a swim. Even if you just walk the dog around the block, tell us your adventures in the thread.

At the moment there are fundamentally just the three of us who regularly post, but I'm of the feeling that there must be more folk on here who do some kind of exercise to keep their basic fitness in tow. And we all love a good natter don't we?

So don't be shy folks, get stuck in
Of course. I am very keen on health-giving exercise.

Every morning, without fail, UP-DOWN, UP-DOWN, UP-DOWN, FIFTY TIMES.

Then the other eyelid.

Re: Do you exercise?

I try to swim 3-4 times a week and I've started walking to aid my weightloss. I am a member of the gym but I only use the pool in there really. I keep thinking I should get my moneys worth and start using the gym too but I can't be arsed lol
