Anyone on here got dreads and go swimming?

Yes I think so and they're very lowly caste. He spent 9 months there from North to South so was off the beaten track most of the time.

 

Swim, swim, swim, Ms Cat. Best form of exercise! By a Jamaican wooly-top to stick on your dreads.

 

is it to lose weight and increase fitness or just to lose weight? Check out 5:2 intermittent fasting. it involves fasting for two days a week (well, not proper fasting but fewer calories for two days) and has all the benefits that fasting brings. http://thefastdiet.co.uk/

i've been fasting for years just because at times it made me feel better but closer research reveals that it's really good for your health and body at a cellular level. it's actually really remarkable.

this is the programme i sent to a friend recently who wants to lose weight and is worried about her chubby hubby being a prime candidate for heart problems http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01lxyzc

...and if you don't like swimming, do something else... like jogging. you could jog over to me and sort my washing machine dilemma out and i could reward you with a big plate of nothing to help! bargain!

 

i.e. if she's going to diet, he feckin well is too!

 

cynical ol' git!... she wants to and hopes it'll encourage him to too (this'll be difficult) as he's carrying more extra middle weight, has a stressful job and she'd like him to be around for as long as poss.

we all know that less fat means healthier bods but fasting has massive benefits too... our bodies were designed to go without at times which aids cellular repair. dunno about you, but i could do with some of mine repairing

 

Doesn't humping central heating boilers around keep you fit ?

 

my mate turned 50 this year and is going to do the 5:2 and exercise (other than the prosseco arm) probably dance classes or kick boxing depending on how the hrt is going

 

of course! as does slinging a sledgehammer around

 

There you go! A bit of light demolition work will keep you fitter than running aimlessly on a treadmill while listening to "Boogie Wonderland" ...

 

Isn't that kind of Italian ham ?

 

fast exercise too http://www.fast-exercises.com/

(think i'm i have a little bit of a crush on doc mosley, his enthusiasm is contagious!)

 

pig lifting is an ancient yorkshire sport

 

Loft boarding is well known to improve cardiovascular fitness...

 

I know a couple on the fasting for two days [well reduced calories] and been on it for quite a while ,it works for them...

i used to hate swimming ,i love it now...

 

as is its sequel... humping boxes of stuff up to the vaulted ceilings and into the loft

 

@Ermintrude not eating is NOT a diet but death.

 

ha! fasting is very good for your body as long as you don't do it for too long. a couple of days is fine

 

One day hour and body goes into shock.
