I have been rowing regularly for about 4 years now and have competed in the British Championships in Manchester twice ( 2 bronze medals ) and the Irish Championships in Limerick ( bronze ). The machines are not cheap but they are of professional standard. GB Rowing use them for much of their training. Here is the machine:

    I also held a World Record for a few years ( recently broken by USA but still hold British Record ). At a charity event in 2012, myself and a fellow rower rowed non-stop for 50hrs. It was absolute hell.

    It took me months to get over that, not something I would recommend. So, what's your story ? Running ? Cycling ? Walking or watching TV ? Please share your stories :-)

    Mo, you're a legend!

    C'mon Andy ! You should be shouting this from the rooftops mate ! You went from self confessed couch potato to running for over 26 miles !!!! You also raised a lot of money for kids along the way !
    Totally agree though, whatever exercise it is, how little or how much, will have a positive affect on general health and BG levels.

    Here here! Andy get your light out from under that bushel. Your story is inspiring and I want a signed autograph.

    ......getting back on the 'Keep Fit' theme.

    I like walking, and swimming is good too, but these days when I do go swimming I always do my style of breast stroke ..... I get by ok.  Smile

    One of the grand children was back at swimming lessons earlier today - he just loves it, and it's good to see.

    How about you - your children - or grandchildren.  flower

    Have you kept fit today ?

    Did my 45 minutes on exercise bike. Think I need some proper gym gear as I worked up far too much of a sweat in my woolly tights, skirt and jumper!

    I think you do great on that bike of yours ....

    Gym gear, style, price, colour....... a few years back now when I did go to the gym, I owned and wore a smart looking pink, grey and black outfit. Even my ankle socks / legging things were pink. As for the price of some trainers !!!!!

    Glad to know that at least when the grand children went back to school those under 8yr took plimsolls in - a little cheaper than some of the trainers.

    Anyway - weather is set fine tomorrow so a walk may be the order of the day sunny

    ........well it's now the 17th September and the weather today was lovely. Enjoyed the scene at a village common fairly near to us. The trees looked fabulous wearing their Autumn Shades of leaves .....very peaceful. (Should have taken some pictures!)

    How is the 'garden gym' going Andy?

    .....wasn't sure where to post this!

    Whether you are more into keep fit - or slightly less into keep fit movement is key.

    But how about this for a 'Keep Fit' inspired Birthday Party Idea ...... your own definition of 'The Highland Games' complete with welly throwing, garden Frisbee etc. All you need is a garden, some good chill but sunny weather and a great bunch of friends to enjoy it with. After the outdoor fun enjoy some homemade soup, bangers and mash (swede of course) with onion gravy. What a great birthday party or any party idea flower sunny

    Have you, family or friends had any fun 'keep fit' type birthdays ?

    Well the past few days the weather has certainly brightened up ..... which may make it easier for us all to try to keep that bit fitter ?

    After all we could do a little gardening, go for a walk ......... I'm all for walking. Have you any ideas to keep fitter this Spring ?   sunny

    Now we have some decent weather albeit till the weekend I like to potter about in the garden, but due to the school holidays and having three kids plus friends to look after bitenails I'm restricted to two days gardening this week tomorrow and Friday.

    Spent three hours at a play park  Shocked  today at least the kids enjoyed  Cool

    I loved the look of the play park Graham went to recently...see above.

    But with exercise and diet etc being quite a lot in the news today - and the weather being so nice, perhaps I should have an extra walk?

    I did have the opportunity of having fun with the grandchildren at a park similar to the one in the picture below. It's just good to be outdoors sometimes isn't it!
