Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Well I ran about 4 miles this evening and it proved a little more stimulating than usual. Ran past 2 youngsters that were shouting at passing cyclists and they shouted abuse at me too. I stopped and confronted them. Both my height and I suppose they could have been anything from 15-17 years of age. The cockier of the 2 threatened to punch my lights out or something if I said another word. Well I did say another word but then he repeated it. I had to back down and carry on. Last thing I wanted was to end up in a brawl on the side of the road with a couple of youngsters - police - other members of their families etc.

The above has happened to me a number of times in the past. I once confronted a gang at our local playing field - I was pissed off with them hitting golf balls. When I ran up to them they changed from small teenagers to towering young men.

Still, had my say to both groups and then carried on. This time though I was assailed with such words as: 'yeah, run off you old c***'.

Boxing lessons for me I reckon - or will do some sparring with my mate. Used to do karate but I think boxing is far more potent and less complicated. You never know when you really do have to become physical.

Change your route it's easier. Maybe next time you run that route they will take it a stage further

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

It's a sad state of affairs isn't it, MKJ? If you knew they were perhaps of school age, you could take a photo of them (from the back, sensibly) and send it to your local paper, Facebook, the police or even their school if they are ext seen in uniform next time?
Otherwise, as Rehab44 says, it's best to change your route or ignore them. Hopefully they will leave you alone.
I don't think self-defence is the answer as you could get into all sorts of bother. Just not worth it. Then again, some extra self confidence is always good for the self.
Hope this is the end of it pal.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

I dunno about that. I reckon you should face your fears. Just kids really. Could put me in hospital if there are enough of them but does it matter? Never thought I would last to 60 to be honest with you. Kinda exciting.

But I will err on the side of caution for sure.

Too Err is human.

I don't err Too often.

I now like the extra O.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

After some thought I've decided to post my exercise routines on here which are adapted from my regular forum Muscletalk. See link below.
This may be of help to any gym users or people keeping fit with weights. Don't hesitate to ask any questions about routines, jargon, etc.

So keeping things brief, today saw me do some straightforward three-setters with my usual starting weights as a benchmark. All very well until I found that keeping up that pace for a third set wasn’t too easy at all. But then it’s not supposed to be a doddle is it?

Thursday 11/8/16 – back+biceps:
1. Lat pulldown, underarm grip:
20x40 w/u
16x50 – 3 sets

2. Lat pulldown, hammer bar:
10x60 – 3 sets

3. Seated row, hammer bar:
6x77 – 3 sets

4. Single arm kneeling DB row:
6x42 – 3 sets

5. Single arm low row, alt:
10x90 – 3 sets

6. DB hammer curls:
8x14’s – 3 sets

7. E-Z curl, preacher bench, low pull:
10x38 – 3 sets

8. Ab crunch:
20x60
10x70
10x75
10x80
20x50

Time: 55 mins.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Intense b****** like myself by the looks of it. I have trouble with the old brain-box too and exercise definitely plays a part in sorting it out. There are so many who need the same too.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Not intensive, MKJ. Just a decent method of keeping oneself fit. I'm not about to give up anytime soon hopefully
