Blissfully knackered but a soak in a Radox bath does wonders whistle:
About an hour of CV stuff followed by a selection of muscle tone contraptions. I finally see the point of mind-numbing TV; no mental engagement required whilst you're pounding the cross-trainer ;D
I hope I can keep this up; I need to redface:

Me too is knackered and have just soaked for ages in the tub.
Haven't been since last Sunday and need to start going at least 3 times a week . So had a bit of energy .
Did a 10k run in 57 mins 8) and then 10 miles on the bike.....a few stretches to finish and then a sauna as my poorly limbs were in shock noooo:

So was there much to keep you distracted in there ?
Did you encounter any Growler changing room issues ?
-
Distraction? eeek: I spent most of all the time following all the onscreen data and trying to figure out whether I was doing what I'd agreed to in the programme session yesterday scared2:
The gym section has only been open a week or two and is heaving with all the latest kit as far as I can see. Perhaps when I get the hang of them I can plug-in, download my results, watch the telly, listen to something other than the ubiquitous KissFM ;)
Changing rooms are pristine and deserted cloud9: . No issues other than deciding whether I use my padlock or a £1 coin rubschin:
I will post a pic in due course; they really are that empty Shrugs:
Oh, some wumman was cycling next to me; she was pedalling away with her elbows rested on the handlebars whilst flicking through a clothing catalogue ... is this normal? rubschin:
-
For wimmin, yes noooo:
-
Not just for wimmin ...some bloke in there today had his Kindle rested on the screen of the bike and was scrolling away and pedalling away. Sweat must have been dripping all over it noooo:
Also people that bring their mobiles into the gym and then have conversations whilst on machinery ...again mainly blokes , but I think that's cos they are in there for hours noooo:
-
All the hotels here have Gyms in.................I cannot understand why people come on holiday then spend all day in the gym ........ noooo:
-
Oooh, does that mean I can post on the VP from the cross-trainer? Nah. Forget it. I'd probably fall off redface:
-
Unless you have a voice activated iPhone 4S ....but it may struggle if you are a little out of breath lol:
-
We are used to heavy breathing here noooo:
-
That'll be a no then ... rubschin: Perhaps in the New Year eveilgrin:
All day in the gym is insane noooo: . But some I know from the gigs I do on ships really do want to continue their daily constitutional whistle:
-
I sense an euphemism in the area rubschin:

Hard to port Mr Mate, Lookouts keep your eyes peeled!

Where is Wenchy? rubschin:
-
She has her nose in the air and is ignoring us.
-
She has her nose in the air and is ignoring us.
Why? Who upset her then ey?
Bet it was that Nick thing. whistle:
I likes/d that Wenchy. She was /is a grumpy young bat. :thumbsup:
-
Nobody upset her that I am aware of but since she got married her life seems to have changed a great deal.
When I said "Nose in the air" I was only affectionately quoting one of her own favourite expressions..... You'll note I didn't add her usual "and stomps off".
As for her changing life ~ she doesn't go on Faceache much, her personal blog was much neglected for a while but she has restarted posting there and she doesn't make contact with any of us that I am aware of. Emails from her to me have dried up. I assume that as a married lady she doesn't feel she has time to play these days. Pity because she brought much to our little group but she did ask to be removed as an Admin, apologising and citing lack of time to commit to the VP any more.
I can tell you that they(Wenchy and Mr Wench) are remodelling their bathroom, that she is still heavy into crochet and has joined a gym...... but mainly to use the shower facilities whilst the bathroom work continues. She is heavy into reading and twitter. If you tweet then you could follow her on there.
Any other news I will bring when it is to hand.

Nearest I do to 'tweeting' is me OWL impersinations, if that'll suffice. whistle:

Been to gym this morning. Alternative one as original is closed for refurb. completely machines - tradmillls each have their own mini TV screen with loads of computeriesed option as well.
Got very hot.
Mobiles are banned there.

Resumed torture activities after a week off tonight, only to be told that the place is closing down for a week in 2 days time while they install new equipment.
Me 'ill will be beckoning with a torch on me 'ed I thinks. ::)

Should I have told that wumman today that she was pedalling backwards on the cross-trainer? rubschin: Nah, leave 'em to it.
And that person who was trying to key in different things on the arm ergo-whatsit-swim-exerciser ... When I got to it, it wasn't switched on at the wall ::)

Gym has finally re-opened, re-furbished.
Spent most of my time there TRYING to work out how to use this bastard new fangled shitty digital equipment.
cussing:
Why then please, WHY do we need multi function touch screens that offer everything including 'user videos' fitness training programmes, tv, radio, games, Yahoo, Faceache, Google and the internet in general when we're simply TRYING to get fit? Shrugs: Banghead
-
Unplug it

Another "free trial" weekend at the gym / pool eeek: cloud9:
What they should do is have a free weekend in early Jan when the guilt and resolutions kick in. Will they?
We shall see tunble:

Kerrrisst! Have I become that unfit over Christmas 'n' New Year? eeek:
I then noticed that, by accident, I'd set the level on the crosstrainer to 25 instead of 5 for starting ... redface:
Unlike MissD's gym the sole PT was slumped over in the corner phiddling wiv 'is phone ::)
-
25 eeek:
They should have a warning on it like all good puters and say " Are you SURE you mean 25? " shocked003

This geezer was getting changed ready for a shower in the gym last night.
As he peeled off his sweaty kit, me and this other bloke looked at him in astonished amazement as he peeled of a LARGE RED BIN LINER that he was wearing beneath his t shirt. eeek:
happy001
"Helps me sweat more for a more rapid weight loss" was the explantion.
Sweat more?
No piggin' shit Sherlock! lol:
-
I'm rapidly becoming disillusioned with this gymnasium membership shite tbh, with precious little weight loss, all not helped by this PT I've employed when he now tells me that 95% of the fancy pants equipement in there is just totally uneccessary, but 'looks good' to attract the sheeple.
I've 'plataued' (sp) now like everyone does...apparently.
Apart from the rowing machine, bike, and tread mill, he reckons the rest could be replaced with a medicine ball, and that's what the main emphasis is now on.
200 bastard manouvers with one of them last night, but they excercise your entire body.
No wonder I'm aching all over this morning.
Point is, I could go and buy one of them for meself, and use it at home!
He doesn't rate this swimming malarky too highly either, and reckons that's what may have caused me ongoing neck problems. eeek:
-
But they would argue you would in all likelihood be using it wrong and therefore would be ineffective whistle:
-

Wha'? rubschin:
Can you just run that past me again please? confused:
The Pt reckons most of the equipement is shite. Nowt to do with me using it wrong,I mean, how does that werk like ey?
You either use it or you don't.
The point is, after using this nasty but stunningly effective meddy ball last night, I can actually feel the benefit of it, which is more than I can say for most of the other metalwerk in there.
He can KNOB RIGHT OFF with his diet plan though. cussing:
"Can't eat too much fruit, and especially in the evenings", my exceedingly FAT and wobbly ARSE! Banghead
Peckish?
Nibble on a celery stick sick2: sick2: sick2: or some raw carrot? ..... Finger:
He wants me eating yoghurt and ham for me brekky FFS!!!! eeek:

No you fuury throw ....using the medicine ball wrong not the other gym equipment like lol:
-

But I'm using it right. PT stands alongside me and I copy him and he sez I'm using it right like. :thumbsup:
Oh I dunno wha'ya rattlin on about. ::)
-
Don't worry ...it's the high pitch you just switch off lol:
I meant if you were to get a M.B and just use it at home like therefore by passing the gym and the PT.
-
Tell ya summat MD.
That medicine ball ten minute torture is just that....PIGGIN'TORTURE! eeek:
Excercises just about every muscul in yer body it does, and has deemed most of the other equipment redundant for me now.
Not very glamerous granted, but judging by my achiness, it's bloody effective! :thumbsup:
Think I must have lost about 2 stone in sweat alone last night. eeek:
-
"gyms are for wimps and non-confident people seeking retribution for a life of self abuse"
Going tonight. :thumbsup:
