Haha 😂😂 this made me laugh. The gym is a great complement to running.

After workout steak is good - Guinness not so good. However it is true that we are all dead for a very long time - let me know when you work out what to do??

1st visit was just to see if I would bottle it Bazza so my plan now is go back and do an induction course and explain my goals to them. apparently they will put a torture 😂 plan together.

[Tbae in reply to Windoze]

I started going to the gym after I broke my foot and couldn't run for almost 6 months - it has taken me a long time to get used to it but I feel like I have built up some upper body muscles ( at age 71) but i suspect that now I am back running ( on the treadmill) , I may be held just a little bit in awe by the body builders there (who can't run!!! ) It's all fun!

I'm with you Windoze, I don't get the cross trainer at all. I have only ever managed to move it in reverse, I have zero co-ordination!!! I avoid wherever possible and stick to equipment I actually enjoy!

[Tbae in reply to schumigirl]

Reverse and forward both good.

Do not know if you use the handles and your arms,🤔 initially do not. Just grip the other centre handles and work your legs only.

Like everything can’t run until you can walk.Try and setting not too low maybe 2 or 3 if you are comfortable.I just helps a little with maybe balance insecurity having a little more to oust against.

Start with small enjoyable sessions, 5mins.I know people at our gym max setting for one hour.🙈👏👏Also know ex London championship runner, setting 6, at least 30 - 60 mins everyday in addition to 30 mins on rowing and spinner.

Yes minimum one hour - two hours everyday. Only thing that keeps him going.

Good luck with your gym and all the kit. Start slow and short times and you will enjoy it all.🌟👏👏
