Tooj 17 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 It's not for me like but I'm thinking of buying somebody one of those Fitbit things as a present. Are they actually any good? Are they all pretty similar, or should I be looking for a particular type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 They range in price and will do more the more you pay for them. I think the top end ones do heart rate, GPS etc, whilst the lower end ones will just do footsteps. So I think it depends how much you want to pay. I think they're probably quite useful if nothing else than to shame someone into moving around a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill 0 Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I got weighed yesterday and escaped with only a 1lb gain since 18 December, which is ridiculous given the amount I've eaten and drank and how little I've exercised. Judging by how quickly the chocolates which someone brought into the office have disappeared, I don't think anyone I work with is even pretending to go on a January diet this year.

Dr Gloom 19720 Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 The worst thing about throwing yourself back into rigorous training after a prolonged slobfest is the niggling injuries. Just wrenched my shoulder today trying to bust out too many pull-ups, now I can't move my neck more than about 45 degrees. Annoying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Fuck! No use to you now but get into yoga when you get back. It'll make a huge difference to the strength and flexibility of your lower back. I've started doing it in the last couple of months and I'm 100% gangsta so you know it's not for wimps. It's actually fucking NAILS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Aye definitely. There's a programme called The Ultimate Yogi which is what I'm doing. It's 108 consecutive days and it's legit nails. Have a Google of it. It has its own website, but it's available on torrents too. Gets progressively harder as you go through but it starts out plenty hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26590 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Wait.......... not yet.......... it's coming.......... (It would probably be good for my back but the promo video and background music etc, ffs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34157 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Ah his patter is both horrific and hilarious but the fanny and the workout you get is class. There's a couple of videos on there that are just long periods of staying in one stretch pose for up to 5 minutes. The difference it makes to your flexibility over time (and therefore to things like bad backs) is mental. There's one position in particular that he mentions as "if you've got family members or friends with bad back pain, prescribe them this stretch 5 minutes every day, and they'll soon find that they no longer have back pain." Get on it man, we'll start our own toontastic yoga dojo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I haven't started that yet like but I do the DDP Yoga because of my back. Definitely helps like and you do get a decent workout. Must be a Yoga teacher thing as DDP is a complete and utter creep in it like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill 0 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I've fancied trying yoga for a while but I know I'll be bloody awful at it. My core strength is really bad though and needs a lot of work. The scales politely suggested I'm 23.6% body fat today, which is rather generous of them. I've definitely gained more fat in the last few months through a worse diet and more alcohol but I weigh the same and my clothes all still fit so it's not the end of the world, I just need to be a bit more strict. Once I've eaten the shedloads of chocolate I got for Christmas, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34157 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So far the only people here doing/thinking about doing yoga are women, or people who are too crippled to do what they weren't manly enough for. Just saying i'm away to play football in the snow, icey wind and shorts, <NAILS Playing football at your age is undignified. The dream is over, hang up your boots.

Gemmill 34157 Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 After your recent illness, I'd have concerns that your downward facing dog would turn into an obscene shit fountain. You are one man that should steer clear of this practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
