Don't know you well enough to guess if you're taking the piss, but mirrors in the gym are a huge help to see your form and posture when doing certain exercises and therefore if you're training that muscle group properlyLofthouse Lower wrote:Day two went well, including a bit of rowing which was interesting.
Don't understand all those who find it necessary to prance about in front of the full length mirrors - narcississtic clowns
edit
That's not the case obviously for the "prancing"

I didn't know that, but judging by the preening nancies in front of these mirrors then checking technical form was the last thing on their minds.

It's the exact same concept as PureGym, except without the wankers (no personal offence intended) that inhabit Spinningfields.

Only issue is that it's nigh on impossible to get in after work as it's so busy and I just can't do it before I start
I do masturbate anyway, so no offence taken either way

Yes, there was barely space to wedge myself in - though with the benefit of some regular exercise hopefully this will not be the case forever.

Re: The athletics/running thread
I'm fairly new to running and usually get out on my mountain bike. Recently i have upped the running and i am starting to really enjoy it. i prefer running in the country side as apposed to on roads and what not as i do with my bike. I was also wondering about joining a club but one more for fell running rather than athletics. is there any local in the bolton/bury area.

All of them able to beat you in a post-armageddon race for that last bottle of water/ loaf of bread in the looted out supermarket.
Runners. Planning ahead.
