6 x hour and 15 min lessons for £50 or £10 a session. Think I might try this. I am really inflexible and have numerous old joint injuries to contend with.
I have my own physical issues and started Tai Chi. For a couple of reasons I fell by the wayside but recently have found Qigong. I follow the exercises in videos on YouTube and have come to prefer a particular Shaolin monk simply because there is no jibber jabbering. Andy
Are you Mr T by any chance, i’ve always been a fan of your A team work saving all those peeps and especially your crazy fabrications.
It is curious how we pick up expressions and use them without remembering where they were first heard. Not sure I’d own up to watching such unadulterated sh*t as the A Team though Andy
You could well have picked the expression from elsewhere I know I do, certain things just stick especially if you hear them enough times.
When you see some of the female instructors you'll want to be watching from the privacy of your own home....
Ah bollocks to stretching, yoga, pilates, all the monks ... I'm 54, had a hip replaced couple of years ago but still have osteo-arthritis in the joint. If I do any of that shite it's both painful during and for days after. All I can do is grin and bear it on trackdays and load up on painkillers etc for the next 5. Could be worse but it is slightly irritating.
I am 58, a bit ahead of you and I also have severe osteo-arthritis in my feet, shoulders and lower back, and yep agree the stretching hurts (but I reckon a lot of that is self-inflicted because I did not stretch and warm down enough in the past - so muscles are now tight) - but I have found that movement and stretching, while feeling counter-intuitive becuse it inflames everything really does help me. Mind you first thing in the morning I hobble around groaning for the first hour of the day! Track days are now few and far between, but I still manage skiing, long walks, and MTBig - I just dose up on Inbruprofen first... Edit.. having bragged about my sporting and MTB prowess I thought I had better evidence this for fear of piss take...!
We warm up and stretch out after my half hour keep fit sessions Muscles tighten when you work them so they get shorter you should stretch them after working them (its probably more scientific than this but you get the gist)
I have found that since doing more cycling it's really reduced the leg aches I used to after a TD. Personally, I think it's a real investment if you're off on a 3-4 dayer. Why not get the most out of it?
I’d get a professional to do it though I doubt it’s a DIY task or something your Mrs could do with her nail scissors......
