Ha! Don't bother :p : I went on a 6k run around Drimnagh and Bluebell yesterday. I started off my running routine in Limerick, where there is some nice scenery - running in Dublin suburbs just...

Currently every second day (so three or four times per week, depending). It's both exercises. The 'weight on chest' exercise is 2 sets of 20 reps and a final set of 'double 20' (i.e. I move left...

The two exercises have been very beneficial so far but I have a question: do they work the same sets of abs or different ones? Currently, I'm using 3 series of both exercises in my fitness routine...

So far so good. I can definitely feel them working my abs.

Great, will work for that when I get the heavier weights.



That's a cool alternative - never heard of that exercise before. I will work on that in the meantime.



Reading back on your...

Welcome to my world. I've been riding "brakeless fixies" for a few years around the streets of Dublin. It's a whole different cycling experience and one, I'm sure, you'll want more of when you try it...

Here is my experience of those exercises.

Dumbbells: Unfortunately, I only have the one dumbbell. Careless, I know, but I must have mislaid the other one. Will get a heavier set soon and sort that...

I was only doing one long set of bicep curls. So I should split them into three or four sets, yes? I actually just have the one dumbbell but when I am next at home, I will collect the other. I can...

Wish I could increase the weight, but at the moment I've only access to 4.5kgs. How many reps should I aim to do of a heavier weight?

Can you suggest an alternative stomach exercise for me to try?

Thanks ioan...you're a star ;)

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:

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.

Thanks Garry.

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...

Nothing like a good pint though. It's a risk, but if I get a bad pint I'll just complain and tell them to sort it out.

Did a quick 20k cycle today since I brought my bike back to college. Will be going back working as a courier in May so want to get back into the swing of things. I'm also making an effort not to...

Do you smoke? Or do you play a wind instrument? I do both which kind of qualifies my lung capacity :p :

Well I had my bike messenger job back for the past 7 weeks so that's being keeping me active during the day. It's back to college on Sunday however and feel the lazy student lifestyle will drag me...

Was it freezing? Were you wearing suitable clothing?

I follow. I never realised that before about muscle pain. I'll keep on top of it.



Ok. I understand how important a warmup. I used to do an IT Band stretch in the morning but only after I...

I guess it is light. Though they were just dumbells I had around the house. Thats the heaviest out of a set of 3 :s



I don't complain of any current pain. It was always my assumption that...

I've been trying to get into shape over the past year. I did a year of pusbike couriering and have lost a lot of weight. I'm quite pleased with my current weight (11-12 stone; about 6 foot tall.) My...
