for ages now ive been wanting to workout and get fit etc so ive finally decided im going to start running and doing some weights, so i bout a weight bench with some weights, then i went into town to visit Mr Argos to buy a barbell/dumbell + weights set. so i picked them up and off i trotted happy as larry for about 100 yards then they just seemed to get heavier and heavier! never again am i walking through town carrying that lot, i must have looked a complete muppet struggling carrying these two little boxes wish i took the lass up on her offer of a lift to my car now.

and to toast me getting fit and in shape im having a curry and bitter night Bass bitter, oh yes!


anyone else go to the gym or anything?

GYM!!!!!!..you don't work hard enough if you have energy for the gym...lol lol lol lol...

spoony.done the weights for long time,great if combine with overall fitness no probs but once you start putting some size on especially the arms watch how soon you tire when doing as ceiling,arms get pumped to death.feels like first ceiling you ever did.

i dont intend on going overboard and looking like some kinda of action man, just toning up i guess, i really dont work hard enough, 12 hours at a supermarket and the odd job plastering now and again, literally. if i dont get this plastering apprenticeship with thecouncil im goin full time and ditching the part time job

will council not just take you on with your level two nvq as an improver.lads here straight from college go with manchester council for couple of years then move on.

im not NVQ qualified yet, i just did a foundation and "intermediate contruction award" basically the same as an NVQ2 but without the on site asessments

Just get a Wii fit.

Damn sight cheaper than going to the gym.

good luck with it mr spoons,

ta very much

I used to be a regular at the gym but really struggle to find time now. Might get a multigym for the new house.
