Yep. Only gingerly though

It can't be stressed enough can it. Stretches, squats etc. Do em!!

Stretching and strengthening exercises are a MUST. Helps keeps the twinges away.

You are joking Pops!! We lesser mortals would be sobbing in a heap on the floor after one of Rig's sessions!!

Ha ha ! I am sure he would go nice and easy with us for the first couple ! :-) xxx

Maybe for the first one but after that......... 😱 xxx

I think he'd nearly kill us. However, I also think he might just raise us from the nearly-dead made new, with powerhouse lungs and legs of steel. It could almost be worth it...

And no, I've not done mine. Limping along behind the wagon today having slumped off it somewhat.

Funny you should mention that ... I was just swinging my kettlebell to a few squats while I was waiting for my focaccia to come out of the oven! Makes a change from kegels :)

Is that a euphemism :)

Rignold in reply to millwalki8

I wondered that.

Never mind the kegels...

the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

Can't underestimate the power of kegels! Might start a new rhyming class inspired by the popular 'tums and bums': 'core and pelvic floor', anyone? Should I just stop and go away...?!

Please don't... that's an excellent idea.

Tums and bums got rechristened 'Abs n'Arses' at our gym by, er, someone.

the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to GoogleMe

Think it'd make a girl infinitely more shaggable than the one "someone" has renamed 'abs 'n' arses'... (There. Did I go too far this time?!)

Rignold profile image
Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

infinite shaggability. There's a concept.

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

There are one or two humans who have it. My list would be Nick Cave and Anton Krupika, but my taste is perhaps a little left of centre!

Certainly not my type :)

Bet Tony K does his squats. Nick Cave... not so much.

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

Yeah, I reckon you're right. Though, you know, be still my beating heart... Beautiful boy.

Rignold profile image
Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

You'd wear him out

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

I rather think not. He runs an Awful Long Way, quite often.

Rignold profile image
Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

Nick Cave runs at all? I am deeply surprised.

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

No, not Nick Cave - the other chap. Though Nick Cave is skinny as a rake and pretty forceful as a person, I think. He'd probably be quite good.

Rignold profile image
Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

Ah yes, Tony Krupicka runs a lot. Although you might snap him like a twig.

Have I mentioned I have an Anto Krupicka Buff btw?

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

Haha, I don't *think* I'm quite that much of a fan girl, and I've already got a lovely merino one. Don't think he'd snap, think he'd just kind of bend and spring back. Lithe and lissom as a hazel sapling.

Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

Are you somehow implying that I am that much of a fanboy?

I'm not going to mention the Jenn Shelton micro pants then.

Have you watched Unbreakable, btw?

the_tea_fairy profile image
the_tea_fairyGraduate in reply to Rignold

Oops, no I'm not, sorry -was mocking my own obsession (and yes, Jenn Shelton is a goddess). I've not seen it. Is it good?

Rignold profile image
Rignold in reply to the_tea_fairy

It has a lot of topless Tony in it. And happy Hal Koerner. The weird thing, now I think about it , is that both of their girlfriends, and Geoff Roes's could be the same person.

I will send you a PM in a mo.
