Please do. Keep me posted how you get on Steph. Discussing with Hubby will we buy one. We both feel we do not get enough exercise, especially in winter. Good luck. Start slow and gradual remember no knackering yourself too soon.

Steph57 profile image
Steph57 in reply toSuzy6

Suzy me and the Schnauzer can right here right now assure you we won't knacker ourselves out! It's not a fast machine you can't have a fast machine and a fast woman at the same that's only asking for trouble. X

Suzy6 in reply toSteph57

Ha Ha Ha. What a tonic you are. Your reply has me laughing my head off. Hubby thinks I'm more dotty than usual. Give us a little excitement Steph and be both.

Hi Scrobbitty I'm building myself up to it should I have a bounty first? X

scrobbitty profile image
scrobbitty in reply toSteph57

Well now that depends. Perceived wisdom says that if you exercise on an empty stomach, it doesn't make you feel hungry but if you exercise with bounty's bouncing around inside, it will make you hungry. So you've got to decide which scenario suits you better. In my case, I'd eat a bounty or two. :D xx

Steph57 profile image
Steph57 in reply toscrobbitty

I'll leave the bounty alone. Getting on it now Scrobbitty i may be some time! X

scrobbitty profile image
scrobbitty in reply toSteph57

Don't be too long on it for your first time or you will crawling around on all fours all day........... slowly, slowly .......... you can do it! xx

Steph57 profile image
Steph57 in reply toscrobbitty

Too late for that advice Scrobbitty the deed is done. 30 mins with a break for asda delivery man at the door. 45 cal burn off later out of puff. But glad I did it. X

Steph57 profile image
Steph57 in reply tolonglungs

Hey jane when I was on the treadmill Eric kept getting my shoe laces on my lovely pumps he kept pulling them shaking them and growling at the same time I couldn't do anything laughing that much. So you will have to watch Bailey when you get back on yours. X

longlungs profile image
longlungs in reply toSteph57

I can definitely see Bailey doing the same thing already as i walk into the kitchen he grabs onto my crocs at every step I take! I can see him being windy about going on treadmill or him jumping on and flying over the garden fence ! :) Janexx

I've been well at the spaghetti bologwhatsist that the kids have just cooked, that combined with the awfully lots of red wine to wash it down with and sobbing myself soggy with watching The Green Mile, I can conclude totally that I am 'at it' :D xx

Whilst on the treadmill yesterday I was disturbed by the asda delivery man I was so enthusiastic to get back on it I didn't check my bags big mistake. 15 mins later unpacking said bags I came across courgettes I had ordered a marrow to make stuffed marrow and instead I had the evil cousins 3 of the b.....s. What to do I stuffed those little mothers anyway. The out come wasn't as good as the stuffed marrow but needs must. Just thought I'd share this with all of you. X
