Re: Post your daily exercise routine

The trouble with photos taken of outdoor exercise routes is that they just look like another country scene. They tend not to show how steep hills are, nor convey just how knackering it was to cycle up that hill without giving up and walking.

Photos don't show what it took to ride down that bumpy hill without falling off. When to brake, when to let go, when to twist and the sheer concentration needed in sizing up a stone or a dent on a downward run ..and the necessarily instant decision on how best to navigate each yard. Keeps my body and brain active anyway.

Nonetheless, I was going to post a couple of photos here but blinkin' Photobucket is acting up again! I'll post some later.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Here are a few photos of our riding routes. Not sure if I've shown these particular ones before. Sorry if they are duplicated:

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

The Fitbit reckons I did 976500 paces in October, this was only outside the house, if all paces were counted I probably busted the 1 million.

EDIT

And covered 465 miles.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

That sounds quite incredible really, Spitfire!
Is that just general everyday activity, walking to the shops etc? 15.5 miles per day is some feat

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Another day at the office Spitty....

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Yes OGF,, about 75% of it is due to two of the jobs I do, and 25% is recreational.

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Isn't it about time the recreational bit was 75% and the job's bit was 25% Spitty?

Re: Post your daily exercise routine

Impressive Floydy

I do twenty knee bends using the banister as support when I go to bed .
Miniscule effort compared to yours I know but it is better than nothing
