A question about : I'm getting old and grumpy

I actually growled at someone at gymnastics class for saying they didn't want to build muscle, just tone up.

ARGHTHEREISNOSUCHTHINGASTONING!!

...sorry. I feel better now. Maybe I should have put this in the Vents section?

Anyone else got a fitness pet hate?

A question about : anyone bought fitbit or similar??

I admit to being a bit of a gadget freak.!

I have some christmas money that I am debating what to do with.One of the options is to buy one of those fotness monitor type wrist bands- the ones that look more like a bracelet than a watch! If you have one does it monitor sleep? is it any use?

As I said I am just debating. I cycle a lot and have a garmin edge which also has a heart monitor if I dare look at it when going up hills so not sure if I get one I just wouldnt really get that much from it.

A question about : The All New MSE Running Club.

Hello everyone!

A question about : Garmin Vivofit Fitness Tracker

Hi all

I am in the market for a fitness tracker and leaning towards Vivofit but would like to see whether anyone uses it here and what they think of it.

I have read good reviews with few problems with wristband being uncomfortable and display having no backlight etc.

I mostly wonder whether it is accurate. Heart rate monitor is bought separately I believe and I'm unsure whether it is necessary as well.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks
Serra

A question about : what to do with a rebounder?

Last year I had some physio on the NHS to try and strengthen a weak ankle that I have twisted and torn the ligaments to several times. The physio recommended getting my own rebounder for several exercises. Someone in my area offered one on freecycle, so now I am the proud owner of a rebounder/trampette. I will be using it for the exercises the physio taught me, but wondered if anyone had any tips how else I can use it, I know some people use them for aerobics etc.

A question about : Accidentally have 2 places for Great North Run....

There were two ballots for this, one a pre-ballot sponsored by The Mirror and the second, a general ballot sponsored by Morrisons (Who sponsors a ballot?!)
Basically I entered the pre-ballot and was unsuccessful so decided to enter the general ballot after this.
I did this without realising that by entering the pre-ballot, my entry was already going to be forwarded to the main ballot.....
