    those leg raises are one of the best exercises you can do
    also one of the toughest
    but it really does work the lower abdominals and thighs and pelvis etc

    A few on here regard their body as a temple. Have you seen the size of Angkor Wat…?

    Get a bike and get out on it...Best exercise there is...Closely followed by walking.....
    Both get the ticker working and biking is good if you've got high blood pressure. Beats the tablets all day long...Just make sure your brakes work.

    PS.. anyone suffering from poor tv reception?

    I'm almost 32 so thankfully can still manage it, although this is easily the most I've ever run and for the first time I'm picking up a lot of niggles. My hip flexor hasn't fully recovered from an injury early in the year, and I tweaked my left calf a month or so back, right before I ran City2Surf, a 14km event down here (ran it in an Oscar shirt which was good fun), but other than that I've been able to pull up pretty well. Hoping if I can keep it up it'll be a good level of fitness to maintain as I get older.

    I’ve met a lot of medical research scientists over the last ten years and basically in casual talks about pastimes et is ‘ you add beats to your heart’ if you make it work . Basically all things being equal you’ll live longer than you might have done , even if you get a bad illness you’ll cope with it longer
    Watching City pass it around at the back means some on here will live til their 100 LOL

    The only excercise I'm able to do is walking round the Old and New Town. Plenty of seats to have a rest but got to do it early in the day before it gets too muggy to breath.

    I haven't watched anything on regular TV for ages. Get everything via streaming and broadband. Around £30 a month for 145 mbps which is enough to stream tvs in several rooms and since getting mesh wifi it's very reliable -- even 100ft away from the main router in the garden log cabin (goes down from 145 to about 40 mbps there but still perfectly fast enough for all live TV and streaming).

    Fair enough, I've got over twenty more years on the clock, plus not got the right build for medium distance running, although I prefer it to most other exercise, as can switch off and listen to music, plus like the heart and VO2 data from my Garmin.

    If I run 5-7km at 11-12km/h, I feel good throughout heartwise, but the next day my knees swell up like balloons... So the rower it is for me.
