for the 1st few days ice it 3x a day then use a hot water bottle when its hurting in the days after that. rest it and just go swimming, when your feeling upto it bring in some ab work, stretches n dorsal raises n hip lifts. hope that helps a bit, I've got lower back and neck injuries from doing silly things like rugby but…

32, though most don't believe me despite the grey hair. I do more now than I ever did n I friggin luv it :bigsmile:

hi I've been riding years just because I enjoy it. I don't do the gels or food thing when i cycle, its usually a bottle of water and whatever I fancy when I get back unless there's a pub stop and its a bag of crisps(not healthy I know but I do live nr the peak so its massive hills I tackle). A friend and I cycled 89miles…

hi guys theres a group for all us brits, team uk, thought i'd let ya know feel free to add my insanity to your friends list xx

I'm 5ft 5 n a half (I miss being 5ft 6 lol) n hope to be 150lbs but I'll see how I feel when I get near :)

rest up and heal, otherwise you risk infections n you'll be sat miserable for even longer

I'm 32, I have one 12year old daughter who is about 3cm shorter than me, eekkkkk!!! lol I've an open diary, I burn like crazy but unfortunately I eat like crazy but am motivating and supportive:happy:

ha ha if life came with an instruction manual, then those 3 things would def be the major rules :smile:

oooo do i eat lol yep i eat a hell of a lot n burn a lot too:laugh: add me hun, i'm on here daily n if nothing else i will provide the "what the hell is she doing?" element as i endevour to be as silly as possible:wink:

defo get to a running store hun, what works for some may not work for you and the luvly folk at the store will find you the perfect pair:smile:

go and play at the playground... its fun, its exercise n the kids don't know how to use them properly anyway. just don't give up searching for something you enjoy

get a tape measure, its more accurate than the scales n brave the bike, just find a quiet trail n pedal. cyclists are a friendly bunch, there's no judgement just nods of the head, hello's n a lot of encouragement then enjoy a cuppa at the end its really worth it hun, i promise, my mate has learnt to ride this year at the…

try both, if its wiping you out then alternate between them both. personally 30ds speeded my runs up n i did loose inchs too but alternating what you do gives muscles a break e.g. runners are advised to have a rest day between run days when they start out, this means switching to the bike or swimming on these days. it…

its a great place to live hunni i'm chesterfield based, so i get out on the hills a lot. sheffield on another note is the happiest city in the uk, i heard it on steve lamac's show so it must be true lol. highly recommend both places for relocating to

well done hunni, ooo you'll love 10k its not so speedy but heaps more fun:smile:

Ha ha the peak is lovely but pedaling up the hills is another story, going as fast as you can down the otherside is great though:laugh: just watch out for the sunday drivers trying to kill you along the way sorry derbyshire lass here and its all hills (blummin' love 'em really), mud, rocks and ramblers. also the 2nd most…

i was 27 after playing rugby for a few yrs decided to get my act together. have spent the last 5 yrs running, getting injured, running, injured etc..... after all this time i've finally got my milage up to 6 n half miles and have stayed injury free since december. every neck and back injury put me back a couple of months…

have a few days rest, it'll do more good and you'll get better sooner than if you push yourself. generally at start of a cold i'm ok to workout but when it hits full on (like at the mo for me) rest is defo needed listen to your body if your feeling queezy n lightheaded then rest x

I'd love to join a gym but here come the excuses; i had a membership but spent most of my time injured so it went to waste, have the attention span of a gnat , ooo there are so many excuses for me but i have a lot of respect for anyone who has a regular gym routine. I'm a team sports kind of girl and being outside is soooo…

Whatever works for you hunni but on the exercise cals calculation bit I tend to find that they are lower than what my other gadgets say. There is usually 200cal more burnt on a long run using my gps than what mfp calculates and have found this with other activities too. If not eating back your cal works hun stick to it,…

lye on the floor with your legs up against a wall, you may feel silly but it feels soooo good when you've been on your feet all day and totally agree with the compression socks and swimming folks have posted:smile:

Chesterfield, feel free to add me :))

been asthmatic my entire life... I do whatever exercise i like, the only thing that holds me back is my bad back and that doesn't stop me often. the best exercise any of my asthmatic friends n i was told to do was swimming, the whole controlled breathing, face in the water type. it increases your lung capacity, strength…

get a bike n get a seat fitted for your sprog. me n my daughter went everywhere when she was little on the bike, i invested in a trailer for her after a while.....so worth the money n think of the extra burn towing an ever growing child with you. mine is now 12 so she has to ride her own bike now lol

try team sports, you make friends, have a laugh and you're never bored= weight loss, happiness and soooo much more notts has loads of sports teams out there and they all welcome newbies along. i play rugby, occassionally netball and have even looked at rounders. there back to netball sessions being held over the country…

me too :smile: keep up the hard work hunni xx

i'm asthmatic and have been running years, you will improve and it will get easier so please don't quit. check out runnersworld they have shed loads of advice for beginners and training plans. but please don't quit, running has been one of the greatest things i've taken up and it makes me feel fantastic, even on the days…
