Thought I'd warm up with the stairclimber,ten minutes and I thought I was gonna have a heart attack lol. So moved on to the running machine and did 45 minutes brisk walking on a slope. Don't take long to get your fitness back, and I'm gonna do an hour a day, every day. Good thing about my shift pattern is I can avoid the peak times when it's busy 🙂 Don't be in a hurry to do too much too soon mate. Your knees will thank you for it.

Since I lost weight I really notice the difference in my joints. Before I was constantly aching and my joints were cracking, now their so much better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're disgusting creatures along with the disgusting creatures that let them loose in Australian waterways. I have no idea of their brain size, but like most wild creatures they are very aware of their environment, especially in pressured venues, which makes them difficult to catch. Those carp in your rivers, assuming you live in Australia are mere tiny babies compared to the ones I terrorise. I have no idea why they were introduced because in small rivers they just become mud pigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's why I didn't want to get a job that involves heavy lifting. Mainly want to keep my weight down and get fitter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carp were introduced more than 150 years ago so the gentry could go fishing, along with foxes so the gentry could go hunting. If Aussie carp are too small you could always try Murray Cod. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasseye Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 About 12 years ago I was having real issues with both shoulders. Lifting over time clear that right up. The side shoulder lifts were very good and I think very helpful. Be very careful with lifts over the head. Can cause neck injuries, not worth the risk. Squats are ok but go easy on the heavier weight... not worth the risk. Also.... avoid dead lifts at all cost. Can cause serious back issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That carp is a baby the cod is more a kin to the size of fish I chase, but if you want really big fish, Australia has all you need in the sea methinks.

Horizondave Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Just heard an RAF Typhoon T3 Eurofighter go over the house even though it was above 20000', over Brecon right now heading for Shropshire. Just seen it go from 30000' to 10000' and back up to 25000' in a matter of 2 minutes. Either Flight Radar can't keep up or the Tornado is practicing some maneuvers. Noticed another take off from RAF Waddington near Lincoln so assume this is where my Eurofighter is going. Blimey 4 in the air now, would love to be watching from that area.

We got buzzed by several Tornado's today, not sure if Germany has different laws but they were very low over the lake. Bloody noisy too!

Horizondave Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Been for an eye test today, hadn't been for 4 years due Covid etc,. Anyhow pleased that I have 20/20 vision for distance and only needed new glasses for reading. Cost £10 for special OCT test (Optical coherence tomography) which is a new test I hadn't had before. Supposedly can detect issues up to 4 years before they would normally be detected. Happy with £29.50 for 2 pairs of reading glasses, didn't need anything fancy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
