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?
Not sure I'm flexible enough in my hip flexor to do that one fleecy.
All the gyms around here expect you to be a member of them to do their classes. The council ones don't do pilates or similar. I don't want to do circuit training/boot camp stuff - that's not really what I'm after - really flexibility is the key issue with me.
MM- maybe - I used to climb, but not sure about it any more, as I was never very good and I didn't really enjoy it that much. I may give it another go and see if my attitude has changed.
I am going to do the standing on one leg thing brushing your teeth, as I tried it earlier and my balance is terrible! I'm also considering some classes that are cheaper than I remember them being last time I looked into it.
One of the amazing things is how quickly your balance can improve with practice. The first time I got on my wobble board I thought it was a total waste of money because I fell straight off! Within maybe three weeks I could stand on it on one leg for minutes at a time
The use of wobble boards and swissballs are two great pieces of kit to have at home. The strength work and excersices I can now maintain on the swissball has helped over recent years.
Wednesday I use as my main strength day with some added core and then during the week do smaller sessions. Yesterday was my 6th week and remember when I started 6 weeks back I was unable to walk the following day. Now I have built up a good level, yesterday I managed:
3 x 20 Squats 3 x 20 squats (bouncing) 3 x 20 squats (Jumping) 3 x 12 ( One legged - per leg) 3 x 20 Forward lunges (per leg) 3 x 10 Backward lunges (per leg) 2 x 10 Bouncing lunges
4 x 1 min plank with 60 secsonds recovery ( I hate this - but aiming to work up to 10 x 1 min ) 3 x 20 crunches 3 x 10 Lying leg raises
A combination of 452 squats and lunges yesterday and I can still walk
Stretching/strength/core is my big aim for the next few months - good luck all.
I was thinking of this thread whilst I was waiting in the chippy (!). While I was waiting I was standing on one leg and then the other. Sometimes stuff can be slotted in whilst doing something completely different.
SW, I used to travel a lot for work all over the world, and often found myself standing on one leg whilst waiting for my bag at the airport carousel or at immigration
