exercise or torture
the quack has said exercise and I am now running a mile before work every day.
However, concious that the weather is getting worse, the mornings drawing in etc. I have purchased a cross trainer. Is there ever a more fiendish invention. 2 minutes and I am in agony. the daughter says she does 30 mins. I don't believe her. Trying them out yesterday I rejected one as there was not enough resistance. FFS I only have this set on 3/8 and it starts easy. and then each second I feel those invisible jubilee clips somebody has fitted round my thighs tighten. what is the secret, go back to the running whilst I can. Or fight this monster in my garage.

Not sure 'big man' and 'get your ass down here' should be in the same sentence as 'show me how to do it'

Re: exercise or torture
Wifey says, relax into it, roll with the stride and you'll be up to an hour in no time. Personally, I loath the contraptions. In the gym I use the running machine and the cycle (and some weights if I'm feeling particularly masochistic) and then go for a swim to cool down (and because I'm properly cr@p at doing my stretches). I walk round the cross-trainers like they're a hole in the ground.

Re: exercise or torture
I've tried them all: The running machine, the rowing machine, the cycling machine.
I had to stop as I never felt I got anywhere. |
