Maybe it's just the weight you are meant to be Jon. I have weighed a kilo or so either side of 68kg since I left school which I just realised yesterday was 10 years ago :eek:

Here is a question for you fitness freaks (not related to fitness, more injury-related): I had an accident one week ago in which I tore the tendons or ligaments in my left shoulder. There has been an improvement in my movement since then. An x-ray confirmed that there were no breakages or fractures. However, I've been compromised from partaking in a lot of my regular activities e.g. my occupation as a bicycle courier has been a no-go area. I can reach the handlebars now but still find pain when the bag is on my back (that said, I am going into work tomorrow morning as a trial run to see how I manage). Driving is impossible as I can't reach the gearstick without excruciating pain. Playing instruments is possible now but still causes me some strain after about 30 minutes. The pain is manageable but I would need to take a 5 minute pause or so.
I'm looking for advice on how to improve my condition. How long can I expect before I am back to full strength? I have been advised by my GP to go for a physiotherapy session but, unfortunately, I can't afford to as I've been out of work and have no money for it currently. I have been prescribed anti-inflammatory tablets and gel which, admittedly, I've not been consistent with using, though I have restarted the routine and plan to take it more seriously until the course is finished.
It all depends on the severity of the injury, your general health and so on. If you want to see results and healing, YOU HAVE TO KEEP TAKING THE MEDICINE. Inconsistent taking of it is useless, you could just as well not bother taking it then. Keep taking it and keep taking it exactly the way the doctor told you. Dont miss a day. You miss a day and most of the work you have done will have been of no use.Quote:

So probably at first just simple stretching might do the trick.
When will you be at full strength? Impossible to tell. But if you dont take your doctors orders and follow them precisely, then be prepared for a long period of hell.
If financially possible, try to work as little as possible. You have little to gain, but a lot to lose.
Thanks Garry.
I ripped ankle ligaments and all I can say is don't rush it. It took around 4 weeks for my swelling to down and it always seemed to stifen up over night so I was limping first thing in the morning. Its now three months on and I'm back to doing the exercise I could do before but rather annoyingly I still can't wear shoes with heels. I figure it's not worth pushing it to wear them as I know I'll only regret it later. Keep popping the pills, using the gels and try not to get too frustrated. :)
I'd say I'll visit a physio soon if I can scrape the funds together. It's such a frustration having this happen as I'm a busy, active person. But I guess I have to be patient.
Hi all, it is cool thread, I have been facing the problem of fats and I am hoping to loose through exercise and diet.Please share and it is good thread here to discuss about health.Thanks.
I managed to achieve my 300km exercise target with 10 days to spare this month so I'm quite pleased with myself. However the 88km hilly bike ride I did on Sunday really hurt my legs. When you see V's on an OS map and road signs that have more than 10% gradient warnings you know you're going to have to put some effort in. :D
Why I haven't noticed this thread ???? I started running last may and I have ran since like Forrest Gump. As stupid as it may sound, I love it. The best thing I've noticed is that I haven't suffered from serious migraine since. My stamina has way better and of course the pace is improving. But I'm still miles away what I want them to be. The last half-marathon I ran was 2.01.30 which isn't very good I know but the next goal is to get the time under two hours.
AFF = Another Fat Finn ? :p
Weird thing, despite eating junk food too often and not doing much more than the three-four times a week commute on a bike, it seems I can fit into clothes that were too small a year ago.
I tried jogging a while ago with these hyped up barefoot shoes, man did my calves(?) get sore. It was oddly fun though. :D

Fortunately I can't justify the price of a fat tyre bike at the moment.
My transition to clipless cycling has mostly been fine. When I say mostly I actually mean apart from the two falls of epic comedy value that I had. :laugh:
The first happened within 15 minutes of going clipless when the pedals were initially put on my mountain bike. I was rolling really slowly when I unclipped with my left leg and didnt think about what I was doing and tried to put my unclipped right leg on the ground. Shifting the balance of my weight meant that I just fell slowly sidewards onto the ground. This resulted in quite a nasty bruise on my upper arm where somehow the handlebars hit me.
The other fall occured when I was on holiday a couple of weeks ago about 90km into a 101km ride on my road bike. The road bike is a bit skittish and it was quite a windy day. I'd unclipped but then got a bit of a wobble on and fell to the side that my leg was still clipped in. So I was there laying in a pile on the floor in fits of laughter with my right leg still attached the the bike and me being unable to unclip it. The high bar also meant that my free leg wasnt able to get purchase on the floor to enable me to get up either. The other half had to get off his bike and physically lift me and the bike up. :laugh:
So, apart the couple of falls clipless is brilliant. Its really helped increase my average speed and its particually helped to increase my speed going up hills. Although I dont have a lot of confidence going up very steep hills clipped in with both feet yet. On hills which have been marked more than 20% in gradient I have been unclipping one foot just incase. I think its better to be safe than sorry as I dont really want to end up in a heap on the floor again if my legs do give up and say they dont want to move because its too hard.
I'd never heard of Salsa Mukluk's before so I had to google them. Fat tyre bikes do look pretty cool. Do you know how the market for fat tyre bikes has been over the last few years? My other half bought his 2009 full suspension mountain bike for around £1800 but the equivalent 2012 bike now costs around £3,000. If fat tyre bikes are going up in price like mountain bikes have been going up in the UK it might be an idea to get a new bike sooner rather than later. :) Me and the other half stuck a deal last month which involved me buying him a Specialized Secteur Comp road bike in exchange for him buying me a mountain bike next year. I'm pretty sure I'm getting the best deal out of it though. :D We've been to the World Mountain Biking championships at Dalby Forest the last two years and it went from around 10% of riders using 29ers last year to around 90% using 29ers this year. All the big manufacturers appear to be bringing out mainsteam 29ers in their 2012 ranges. I have been wondering whether I should be a first mover and get a 29er but then again maybe I should leave other people to test the waters and stick with a standard bike. I've seen a few mens 29ers in cycling shops and they do look huge.
It takes a bit of muscle memory to unclip always on the same side, but eventually you'll be able to unclip when going over the handlebar at hight speeds(not recommended). Last time I didn't manage a proper unclipping was when I tried to wheelie a large water puddle but fell on my arse into the water. :DQuote:

On one in UK are building a prototype at the moment which should be on the affordable side.
Most expensive thing on the bikes are the wheels, mostly due to lack of manufacturers.
At the moment i'm looking into either these fat lolz machines or maybe a 29" hardtail built for all mountain use. (unless a suitable 26" hardtail finds itself into my flat). I wouldn't get a 29" bike unless I was as tall as I am, I'm 187cm and it's about 50/50 which is better for me. IMO If you are short, stick to 26" bikes
First I thought to put this in the AFFrina thread , but my new family members is a bit more important than some kid. :D
I finally found the bike that I was looking for for months. it's not a hardtail as my previous post would have indicated, but few hours on a borrowed Specialized full suspension bike brougth me back to my senses.
Here's the family portrait.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/11791273/je.jpg
Erin on the wall and Jonna on the floor. :p :
The road bike will move to handle work commuting duties and the tractor will be the fun time happy machine.
About time to use those bikes Janne...you really need it :p : ;)
Holy crap.. well thats a complete mind bender. I started this thread years ago.
I think I stopped posting soon after. Weird to see my old login here literally years later. Very top of the chit chat forum too.
Err.. so how'd it go. Anyone lose any weight? I cetainly didn't. lol.
Nice! The front forks on Jonna look exactly the same as my Kona :)Quote:

All I need now is the snow to melt so i can actually use it in the woods.
We dont have so much of a problem with snow here :) I only had to stop the bike rides for two weeks until the snow was all gone!Quote:

My mate has Hayes brakes on his and they work really well, but theres very little feel to them. Have you ever driven a new VW/Seat/Audi? A bit like the brakes on these cars, either on or off, nothing in between!
Is that an Orange bike? I would quite like an Orange Diva full suspension bike but I dont think my budget will stretch that far. :(
Jeps, It's an Orange Alpine. It should be pretty low maintenance and pretty much bulletproof for my use. Gridgirl, I think you might find used bikes for a relatively sane budged, I sure did. :D
Orange bikes are so cool. :D I think my other half would cry with jealousy if I got a Orange Diva and he already has a preety decent full suspension bike himself. The Orange factory is only about 20 miles from my house so good choice there. ;) Might think about a used bike or a last season bike but in all honesty I think my next bike purchase will be next year now.
The other half changed the front derailleur cable on his road bike on Saturday. I fear tonight will mostly be spent helping to re-tape the handle bars on said road bike. Oh joy!
I've started routinely jogging (every other day) a few weeks ago. At the moment I'm running roughly 5km in 30 minutes. I'm also working out most days of the week. Exercises are as follows:
- Modified press-ups (ones with knees on floor ; I have an arm injury and can't do standard ones yet): 4 sets of 10
- Shoulder press (4.5kg): 1 set of 20 per arm
- Bent over row (4.5kg): 3 sets of 35 and 1 set of 50
- Bicep Curl (4.5kg): 1 set of 80 each arm
- Stomach Crunches: 3 sets of 30
- Squats: 1 set of 30
I'm happy with my progress so far. I reckon if I can keep this up for a few months then I'll see a huge difference, and feel it too. My diet is fairly balanced too.
I've put my bike back together too. It's a fixed gear Veloce frame with Campagnolo track cranks, a rear deep dish rim, Mavic Open Pro on front and ****ty flat pedals. I damaged my ankle some months ago and found my usual pedals (TIME pedals - clipless) impossible to use. However, I feel like my ankle is 100% again and I might change them back to clipless. If not, I'll have to invest in some nice straps. I had a pair which were ok but they're past it now.
Way too many repetitions.Quote:
