I pop off 20push ups here and there throughout the week..using the ball or steps (helps the core too).. too easy!

I used to do loads of running when I orienteered..a sport I eventually gave up on due to chronic ankle weakness brought on by many many ankle sprains. My knee joints never gave me any problems... just my calves and hammies. <BR/><BR/>However there is a reason why people like me should venture briefly but regularly on to the dark side and that is....prevention of osteoporosis. <BR/><BR/>In order to stop THAT rot you have to do weight bearing exercise and cycling just doesn't cut the mustard;walking ain't really good enough either..so it has to be running. I don't anticipate doing much, but if I want to keep my bones healthy, I have to do some.<BR/><BR/>Thus spake the Aged Care Rehab Physio.<BR/><BR/>And yes Lawrence, there are cheaper ways..but I find exercises incredibly teejus and so I need a Madam Lash to get me doing them.....<BR/><BR/>And Colin..just gotta meet your better half....not only runs the bath for you but can out-walk you in the bush too...what an Amazon!!!!!!!! <BR/>(sorry Shirley!..just couldn't pass that one by...)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07323703412694643324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544916744774954599.post-66825137754322638922008-04-10T16:16:00.000+10:002008-04-10T16:16:00.000+10:00Absolutely agree with you about weights, you are s...Absolutely agree with you about weights, you are spot on. I do about 1hr a week, nothing really heavy though, with some step ups and heel raises. Cycling is too specific and ignores other areas we should look after as well. But running! I just try to do some strong walking otherwise I really suffer when I go to Scotland and Shirley leaves me for dead!Rich Gift Of Linshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17868005278180471114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8544916744774954599.post-56589853678401593232008-04-10T15:37:00.000+10:002008-04-10T15:37:00.000+10:00Have to agree with lawrence.

I don't care how cushiony and airy the nikes are, every time you hit the deck your knee's and ankles are compressing.

Running?? RUNNING????!!!!!??? Egads woman...running? Running?? RUNNING????!!!!!??? Egads woman, have you gorn totally bonkers??????? Running will kill your cycling and won't lose you that 2kgs. I've lost 2kgs since Jan, just by changing the timing of when I eat starchy carbs. Except for muffins..and cheesecake... but they are a totally different food category.<BR/><BR/>PS Pushups are good for upper body and cheaper than AWMAHGAWDLOOKATTHOSEABS Celine ;-P<BR/><BR/>I'm only saying this cos I am still savouring my victory over Sheffield Rd while I can... but I do worry about you running.
