And on that note, I plan on going for a ride...On my bicycle...in the morning, and it's getting quite late. Time for beddy by for me. I'll catch up for my dose of laughter later tomorrow. :)

No, you stay here, and make sure HE doesn't leave the room.
What, him?
One day son, all this will be yours...
What? The curtains?
Yeah, goodnight guys and sorry to Phrank who has just joined in. Cindy went to bed in disgust an hour ago, but it's Friday and I'm hanging with the lads.Quote:

I am con-mused (you will figure it out). And mme Flaubert has not been devalued, she is your concubine, dealing with your vanity would be a full time job for her, and she is the pastry chef, providing us with such delectibles as pain au chocolat, maple and pecan danish and trifle.Quote:

It was guerrilla warfare first thing here, what with dawn raids, sentries screaming out warnings and the screams of the injured! A good damn thing I got the rest when I could :).

I would get out of.there as quickly as possible, stage a tactical withdrawal on the treadly.Quote:

No I think I would just use my bike as a club and knock one of those lycra dudes off of their bike and ride away on that...:).

A real man wouldn't be worried about his manhood, it should be manly enough to look out for itself.Quote:

That's a bit much, you only need to rip his feet off, and tape them to the bottom of yours. The whole legs would weigh you down too muchQuote:

Mick
He would also need to be the same height as you, those racers are pretty heavily tuned to the user, if his legs were longer than yours you would still need his feet, and maybe part of his lower legs.
Nope, I carry all the tools required to adjust seats/handlebars etc. in my own bikes toolbag...And I'm an adept at setting up a bike for best personal use. :).Quote:

And that other thing... what was it it?
Oh yeh - exercise or something.
Was discussing body weight exercise with a friend the other day and chatting about how burpees (including a full press-up) tend to cover just about everything. Core, arms, legs, some aerobic if you push the speed and reps.
He suggested a nasty addition that he has seen...
Dumb-bell burpees.
Holding 2 dumb-bells (am using 7.5kg at present)
Drop, burpee out, press-up, burpee back in, stand up then shoulder press straight over-head.
20 is surprisingly hard work!
trying for 10, 30 oblique crunches and then another 10 (allows to me to keep my form a bit tidier)
like this but doing a press-up in the burpee too

Check out the Spartacus workout, apparently you can find it on the web, it is all done with 2 dumbbells, and you. That exercise is from the version I used to do.Quote:

Yeah, the symbols drawn next to the holds are the routes (called 'problems' in bouldering). The different coloured chalk indicates the difficulty within the club, in the order of white, yellow, blue, orange, green and pink. I'm climbing blues at the moment.Quote:

So may jump,into that.. Think my key is going straight to work out right after work and not stopping home.. Either way have to kick myself In The but and get out there
I did Krav Maga for a bit, I really enjoyed it, even the smashing of shin bone on shin bone.Quote:

I did some 'bouldering' a few years back. There is a local gym that gave 3 month memberships for the Winter. I tell you my back was wide and my forearms pumped after those 3 months. Getting a cardio workout doing it is a little harder though. My partner and I would chose the easiest routes and see how fast we could get up them.
These days I have a great little gym in my basement. Smith Machine, Speed Bag, Heavy bag, recumbent stationary bike. I work a rotating shift work, so it is a challenge getting a workout on a regular basis. Having the gym right at home makes it easier. Wakeup, coffee, play with the dog while I stretch, hit the bags.....or hit the gym right after getting home and playing with the dog. Been at it regular now for over a year and a half. Thanks to the SWMBO I have the free time to do it..
Yeah, without bragging or anything, my back is really quite 'craggy' at the moment, and my forearms are getting pretty big and veiny, downside is my hands look like I pleasure myself a lot (my wife's favorite joke).Quote:

Also, I found five three minute rounds were good, with a minute in between...
You can get a pretty good cardio workout with bouldering if you don't rest very much between problems, and do repeating under hanging problems (if available; I'm sure they would be over there, ours is TINY compared to those HUGE bouldering gyms I've seen on line in the US!)...
Have you thought about a pipe an a sailors hat, Popeye. :)Quote:

I think it is important for it to be enjoyable. For instance I loathe doing abs. So I dont do them. My abs get a workout though when I kick the heavy bag, which is a blast.
Stationary biking is a drag too, but I make it more enjoyable by having it in front of Netflix on a bigscreen TV.
It is also important to remember that doing 40 minutes of anything everyday is healthier than laying on the couch watching the tube.
