Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

That man from March
Still putting in 3 or 4 sessions a week. Only 5 or 6 minutes at a time as my dodgy shoulder is still causing some problems and I have 3x10 min sessions to do with that. Core work seems to be working though. I stood up to Folkworth better this year than in previous years and had strength to push on over the last 800 meters rather than my normal plod to the line and set a pb :)

I have a sciatic type problem which leads to lower back pain and tight hamstrings and every time I notice this thread I have a few minutes stretching and it really helps. Please keep it going! :-)

And you DT, have you tried the McKenzie method.

I aim to get session in tomorrow and Sunday to finish AB book, not quite fab abs but not far off, bit of definition with the rest just hidden by thin layer of double decker induced fat :-)

Got my body weight workout bible through and will start the plans in that next week, starting on intermediate plan should last me 30 weeks and will then basically be an Adonis, maybe...

Oh yes, I always feel better after I do pilates. I only wish the physio place around the corner from me did pilates in the evenings. I used to like pilates classes when I belonged to a gym.

Started the beginners program in the Mark Lauren book this morning. Arms not happy already but will get results I can tell :-) Who needs a gym anyway :-) Really good advice on how to make different exercises more difficult which is helpful as haven't got great deal of strength for push/pull sections but will probably need to step up with leg and core sections.

Another half hour done Lil, think you may have to write February off? :-(
