[NSC] Your new year's resolution

[Greg Bobkin]

Not very well, I was recommended Skerrits in Hove but they didn’t reply to my enquiry, a company in Hove called Hunter Hammond Daniel Associates has been mentioned I might give them a call.

Good luck!

How is everyone doing then, 50 days in?

I decided to add sit-ups into the challenge, which I'm probably going to be regretting by the late spring! On the plus side, I'm able to do more push-ups in one go than I was before, so that's got to be doing some sort of good. Also, the routine and focus of having an achievable daily goal is a positive at a time in our family where there is a lot of 'stuff' going on that is, quite frankly, pretty draining.

I was listening to that Just One Thing Radio 4 programme and he was extolling the benefits of planks and squats against the wall. Very good for core strength, glutes and heart pressure. I've got shoulder joint issues and have replaced press ups with planks - its working.

I love those progs, especially now they have 45 minute versions. This year I’ve been following the fast regime highlighted on the inflammation episode.

Usual stuff. Lose some weight but more importantly try to sort out lower back pain

they will go hand in hand .....good luck

Look carefully at charges, should you invest in any way.

I was with one of those IFA’s where the stated charge was 1% per annum. Years later I cottoned on to an additional 0.99%, I don’t think many would ever be able to find the true position. The compound effect of 1.99% over a sustained period is huge.

both my rotator cuffs are f***ed , bicep tendons down to less than 4 mm ....go and play sport they said , go and get fit they said... a year plus off work to get them both fixed isn't really feasible .....we all got our shit to deal with , thank fork my legs are still good.

Good advice, I’ve looked at the HHDA website and they look alright, I don’t actually know anyone who has used them though so I’ll see how I get on

The 'lose 7lbs' thread reminded me of this one - on the day I completed 300 sit ups and 300 press ups. Well into the home stretch and still enjoying the challenge, even though it feels like a lot sometimes.

How is everyone else getting on?

Saving for a new roof …. surprisingly it’s on track.

Getting fit …. I did manage that in time for the February ski trip. Just started the next phase for this winter’s skiing, after letting things slip.

Had no New Years 'R' this year, however, I do hope to stop vaping in 2025. Quite excited for festive season to start from next week.

Having just finished my sit-ups for the day (357 of them - and they are FACKING boring), I was reminded of this thread in the run-up to the new year. Anyone else managed to stick to their resolutions?

Gotta be honest, mine is a bit of a ballache now (I've still got the 357 press-ups to get through today), but I like the sense of achievement. But I'll aim for something a bit easier in 2025
