Things That Gladden The Heart

[Beezerk]

Just had Openreach out after suffering with really slow internet since we moved into the house around 4 years ago.
He replaced cables and put a new socket in, gone from 3.5Mb to 19Mb
Absolutely chuffed to bits, Netflix here we come

My late Mum and I used to play the "spot who has stuck a sock down there game"

Managing to do battle rope waves at the gym today. First time having a go at them. I have a new PT who is really pushing me with all sorts of different things and routines.

Slightly unsettling thinking of you wearing a Leotard or TUTU

Good effort Chellie, absolutely love battle ropes there's so many variations of exercises you can use with them as you get more used to them which imoroves movement patterns, strength, conditioning and not to mention the brutality of the cardio work they inflict. Sounds like you found the right sort of PT keep up the good work ??

Good effort. How do you think it's going to fit in with your golf. Is the intent to simply get fitter or are you looking for distance

Sort of but the engineer found problems with the cable to my house and the cable from the outside to the master socket indoors.
Hats off to the lad, he replaced the lot and it worked a treat.

Watching one of those ardent Remainers almost crying whilst being interviewed about Brexit happening last night. Sorry but that really did make my day.

Found it very challenging plus he threw it in with a small circuit on the synrgy machine. That was just the start of the session. Feeling it this morning.

Just going to improve fitness and strength for everyday. Any help with the golf will be a bonus.

Exactly the way to do it, health and fitness is more important than golf. Golf specific fitness for us average a handicap golfers is pointless. Focus on fit healthy living means enjoying the game longer anyway.

I find the comment about specific golf exercises interesting. I am taking a series of 10 supervised gym sessions following a minor stroke last year. To help in maintaining interest in the gym I am including some swing exercises. (I get quite bored in the gym , probably because fitness was a requirement of my career in the past). I appreciate that the swing exercises are not going to harm me , but are you suggesting they might not be worth pursuing? I am genuinely interested.

love to follow this discussion in real time, but I tee off in 45 mins...got to get to the club!
