So I hired an indoor water rowing machine a couple of months before the holiday ...it is hard work but well worth the effort,during the holiday I hardly used my inhaler .

Is there a difference between an indoor water rowing machine and a 'normal' rowing machine?

I have visions of sitting in the bath :shock:

I'd like every J2skier to take a picture of themselves in their newest bestest gear and post it on here. Could be a bit of a laugh doing it.

Tony, I'd like to raise the stakes a little. I believe that this is the 1st J2 skiers photo of this seasons gear in use on snow :D

Show off.

Bus driver?

Now that's my kind of exercise, one that involves a pub. I also own a bike that hasn't seen the light of day for some time, good excuse to dust it off and get peddling.

Roller blading/inline skating also sounds good, sadly I flogged my roller blades at a car boot sale a few years ago, I was rubbish at it anyway.

Nelly - have you got one of those new-fangled bubble caves to accommodate your head? And do you have a special hat to keep your head warm in the winter, you must lose a lot of heat through a head that size?

It has two 10-week plans in it, one for the gym and an at-home plan. I'm planning on starting the at-home plan this week. It seems very thorough. Some days are strength work outs, others flexibility, etc. It seems pretty thorough I'll let you know how I go on.

Every year I'm the one promising myself to be fitter next year. This year I've been lax up to now so I really need to discipline myself. Hopefully this added to regular gym visits will help me improve.

Seems we have something in common, I'm a big fan of buying books and not opening them, more so with DVDs actually, buy them so they can gather dust on a shelf, in particular a yoga DVD I bought a few years ago.

Thanks for the other advice, all very handy 8)
