The Running/Keeping Fit Thread

As mentioned earlier by Alex i think...kettle bells are good for wrist strength,they are unstable so you naturally use your wrists (and other muscles) to stabilize them..also the good ones have a really wide grip which strengthens your wrists better than most things I have tried..

If they give you pain, try taking Glucosamine Sulphate & Omega 3.

Powerballs are pretty cool aye.

Try using climbing chalk for your deads- makes gripping stuff easier. (I used to get up to 200K without needing those straps pre-back injury).

They're like those Fat Grips you get to put on normal weights.

Think I will start taking some supplements. Started taking some cod liver oil again recently as my joints have been very sore but I’ve heard a few people saying about glucosamine.

Ha ha, just hurt my wrist trying to twist a plastic connector off the cleaner's hoover. :0

Have you tried this yourself? Does it work?

I like the idea that I'd be rotating my wrists as opposed to just extending forward and back, but I'd worry that my lack of co-ordination and lack on sensation on my left hand would make it impossible on that side.

They certainly help. You can sit watching tv while doing it. It can be tricky to get the hang of them, I'm right handed but better on my left hand which is strange. (That sounds wrong ) a mate from work fractured his hand playing football and was doing some rehab by squeezing a tennis ball. I lent him the powerball and he was very pleased with the results.

I'm really excited having found out today that Adidas are bringing out a range of badminton rackets and shuttlecocks. No, really

I think Adidas is the only thing I am a bit of a brand whore for. I love Adidas trainers and the clothes. I like all of the more retro looking stuff too. But its maybe due to wanting to be in the Beastie Boys.

Think I will give this ago as it should compliment my gym exercises well, even if I don’t master the movement.

Cheers Knockers.

I'm the opposite in that I love all the technical modern gear. Doing my daily workout ATM, 4k on the Concept2 then half an hour on a recumbent bike. Most important part of my workout is to get some banging Euro dance blasting out. Probably opening myself up for a ribbing but DJ Encore's Intuition cd is seriously motivating for me

Rowing

Anyone on here use a Concept2 rower? I've just completed 10k

You sad git, Norby.

I went for a bike ride on my birthday. That was pretty sad too.

Living the dream man, living the dream. Drinking tea now watching Jeremy Kyle

[Roboklopp]

Pretty sure I went to the gym last year on my birthday.

I ain't the best at rowing, limbs are too short.
