Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Good to know that in most cases a body will adapt to hard exercise. Only last week I jogged the same route and was exhausted. Next day I was aching like hell. This week though no aches and pains at all. Might even jog again today. The body is a remarkable machine though it does wear out in the end obviously.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Remembered to reinstate my Wii Fit
Crikey, looking at the instruction manuals was one Hell of a workout
Anyway it works and I started with bowling to familiarise myself with the control thingie ... not used it for a number of years.
Then ... tennis
my favourite. One game of doubles was quite enough thank you ... lol
But I did eventually remember how to serve an ace.
OK it's not like proper excercise but you have to keep your wits about you.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Recently I went to a different gym and was saying how much I enjoyed the machines. They give a much harder workout. Well, I was at my old gym today (easier to go there and then travel to where I needed to be later on in the afternoon) and I was very surprised at how easy the machines there appeared to be after going to the new place for a few weeks.Today I was having to do sets of 30 to 50 at the old gym to feel like I was actually doing something, whereas at the new one a set of around 10 to 15 is quite fatiguing!
The wonders of technology...

I threw caution to the wind today as the weather was so inviting. Ran 6 miles on the road which is the furthest I have run this year. Encouragingly it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be and no knee pain
. Looks like I can step things up gradually and slim down in the process.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I had a couple of off-road bike rides with my 47 year old son last week. He hasn't been keeping up his riding lately so he's not quite at peak. This meant I was able to keep up and sometimes even go into the lead when going up the hills. There's a particularly steep one to tackle early on in the ride and that one really gets the respiratory organs going and the leg muscles burning.I'm the tender age of 72 now and quite proud of still being able to keep up with younger people in both walking for miles briskly and cycling. This can't last too much longer can it? I wonder if they are keeping the speed down on purpose, just to be kind and respectful to their old Dad?
