We did 30 miles on Saturday to try and get a little exercise into the legs. Sat down all the way and couldnt stand up on Sunday!!

Thats good going I have only managed a max of ten miles ...... but I do get bored easily 8)

I find that if there's a pub in the middle and at the end it's a good incentive :mrgreen:

My other exercise is cycling. If you really want to push yourself, cycle in the highest gear and stay seated going up hills. It bloody kills :shock: but works the right muscles.

Thats fine caron if your slim but when you're a fat bloke its extremely hard work :oops: :oops: :oops:

Do I remember rightly that you were losing weight on a diet?

I see a lot of recommendations for yoga and, this year, the ski and snowboard mag has got very basic yoga moves each month. Fortunately for me, it's my exercise of choice, I also hate gyms.

Steady Ian, our tennis club will give you an annual subscription for not much more than that. Best all weather courts in our part of Scotland, (No prizes for guessing who is in charge of maintenance!, and pretty much everything else, new committee members are like melting snow!) Floodlit, so able to keep playing through all the non-ski bits of winter.

You must live in an elitist area, Ian

we pay £100 pa for a family of four, three great artificial courts, floodlights and a bar :thumbup:. Wonderful to play on a sunday and then watch the cricket 8)
