Laugh in the face of Arthritis Surfermom, and stop eating beef....Oh...you don't do you....I once watched a documentary about a boy who had arthritis from birth. He attended a clinic in Harrogate (Yorkshire) and it was found that it was beef and beef products that antagonised his joints and disabled him...Re: Post your daily exercise routine
What a nice post, and where it matters most, you are obviously a rich man Floydy. You will come out of this well because despite the challenges of work, you seem to have a very balanced life. You'll make that goal because as a bodybuilder, you know how set a goal out in the future and stay with program.Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Aha! Diet, OGF! I hadn't even considered foods that trigger inflammation. Thank you for bringing this to my dim-witted attention It is true that have been a little careless about my diet, but not so far as to eat beef...or a McDonald's fryup .Re: Post your daily exercise routine
In a perfect world my neighbours would have been runners Surfermom, but hey ho, artist will have to do........Anyway, if my comeback doesn't work out perhaps painting or fishing might might move up the list of preferred things to do........Well! perhaps not fishing...Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Well I reckon if I‘d stuck to my earlier jogging routine I might have gone the way of marathons. Years ago (around 1986) I had decided to join the RAF and so began a couple of years when I would not only cycle to work (which was a good five miles from my house) each day, but a few times per week I would jog there and back instead. This is going back some years though – thirty in fact! – but I was heavily into running everywhere before I started with the weights when I got the nod to enlist for the forces and needed to bulk up somewhat. I did, however, keep my jogging going whilst bodybuilding right up until I left the RAF though, doing the circuit around Lincoln each night…and Bob, you know how hilly it is around there! Ahh, what could have been, eh?Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Such good reading about your history with running marathons, OGF, and your running in general, Floydy. Not so fast on hanging up your running shoes, OGF, and that five miles today was proof of that! You always make running sound as appealing as fine dining , and I find myself jealous just reading about your foot work. Likewise my neighbors have all sorts of interests, but running - or surfing, for that matter - are not among them. That's ok, though...more waves and quiet running paths for me!Re: Post your daily exercise routine
You were doing some impressive running back in the day Floydy, and I can relate to running to work and back. In my late teenage years and early twenties I wandered around different sports trying to find something I could enjoy. I was a decent cyclist and through my life have completed several long distance rides, the longest being the Coast to Coast, over two hundred and fifty miles over three days. Swimming a mile in the sea on a few occasions (my first time at twelve) but they never really clicked. I even tried lifting weights......Trying to improve a skinny looking frame, and to stop bruisers from kicking sand in my face.....Re: Post your daily exercise routine
I really do love this thread, we have such a camaraderie going on and it's great to hear about all of your past and present routines you have been doing over the years. Hopefully others will look in and see that it's not hard to exercise. It's that initial drive of willpower to get you going and it beats slobbing about on the sofa encouraging illness any day. Although we do have time to slob around sometimes on our rest days!Re: Post your daily exercise routine
Floydy, I am with you about this thread. I really enjoy the camaraderie on this thread. I wish I knew more runners about my age, because we face similar joys and challenges, but the reality is I am becoming a rarer bird by the moment. There are so many gems of advice and stories here that this thread never fails to inform and entertain.
