Iām brutal in gyms. Have never been good at them. But Iām mainly using the weights machines as I read youāre less likely to injury yourself if you do them wrong! I just look at the side of the machine and thereās usually an instruction on what to do. Iām weak as shit. Every time I go, I have to change the weight to much lighter than everyone else. Iāve been tipping away with a little warm up cardio (either treadmill or elliptical) and then some TRX rows, squats, lunges, single leg lunges, etc. and then a little bit of the machines. My new gym utilises some app for booking classes so maybe check if you have that. Whatās handy about the app is it also gives you video tutorials in how to use the various weights and machines. The little wan is at Lego camp so Iāve a few hours off every morning this week so I booked into a class called āfunctional movementā. Iām way better in a class environment where someone is telling me what to do. Anyway, this class was really more just an intensive stretching/ yoga style class. Iād say I was the only one in the room (bar the instructor) that hasnāt gone through the menopause and Iād say they all kicked my ass.
If youāre looking to lose weight, spin classes may be useful. Doing the bike on your own doesnāt do much unless youāve a planned out session. I saw an auld fella there last week, and he basically was sitting on a spin bike for about 20 minutes with the headphones in watching the telly. I donāt think he pedalled at all. Iād say he just goes to the gym to get out of the house.
The refund window has closed for me to get refunded by DCM. But I can transfer the entry over to someone else who doesnāt have one before August 20-something-th. They pay a 20 euro admin fee to DCM for the pleasure along with whatever weād agree for the entry. Means the entry is in their name rather than my name if I was to give them the actual bib for the event.
In that case my Mrs must be one of the most qualified movement coaches in Irelandā¦the number of times she tells me to get up and fcuk off out of her way is off the chartsā¦
Yep, put it up on Boards and had it gone within 24 hours. Had a few people contact me so Iād say youāll have no issues getting rid of it. Window closing soon though so hurry up!
Excuse my ignorance & simple mindedness - did you get the buyer to Revolut you the fee & then complete the transfer by clicking through the process? You hardly transferred first in case they didnt bother paying you?!
