Gymrat is a decent app for recording exercises. They have a few workout templates on there, and the option to input your own. I tried recording workouts on several different apps, before settling on a notebook and pen. If you're going to use one though, Gymrat is as good as any.

I fooking despise swimming. If that was the only exercise available to me, I think I might have to give up.

Thats tomorrow.

I don't often frequent SinBin but I'm very impressed with the advice on here (I work the health/rehab/S&C field). Better that the majority of dedicated fitness forums.

Just thought I'd share this decent infographic I direct many of my patients to if they are looking to invest in their fitnessrlhttps://simplesciencefitness.com/rl

Hope it's useful for start.

Touching your toes is overrated anyway.

Always wondered if yoga/pilates would help with something like that??

It's the right time of year for Pilates

If there is a pun in there then I'm too slow to catch it however it most certainly is the right time of year for those (me) who suffer the long term consequences of a back injury (not the initial one that I referred to before), this cold damp weather plays havoc with my lower back although pulling a tree out of the garden last month didn't help much either - I can go a few days and think its all sorted and then just have to step down a step a little too hard and it sets off spasms again - can't wait for some warm weather.

So yes, look after your back and especially look after your intervertebral fibrocartilage, to squish one even if it "heals" is to have a weak spot for the rest of your life.

Easter?

Pilate?

Not read the whole thread, but I fully recommend the 5-2 diet, my dad's lost just over 4 stone in a year with regular swimming in there too.

Also anyone with back pain/tightness look up 'limber 11' on youtube, as chances are you have tight hips/legs contributing a lot more than you'd think, the video explains it all a lot better.

also not read the whole thread, the paleo diet is good & herbal life is great but youve got to exercise on them. but you will turn fat into muscle. google them? paleo is back to caveman days.
