Sure he knows every nook and cranny of those fields

Good advice but impossible as this thing has loads of sharp bends and is a quiet country road where fellas bomb round corners at times.

@caoimhaoin - can you recommend a simple weight-free lunchtime workout regime? I’ve a basic gym room at work, but no free weights unfortunately.

Step 1 Ensure you have comfortable, loose fitting clothes.
Step 2 Extend thumb
Step 3 Insert thumb into (own) rectum.
Step 4 Jog on spot for 10 minutes
Step 5 Alternate thumb
Step 6 Repeat Step 4
Step 7 Cooldown and poor boiling kettle over thumbs

For what purpose?

You can do the staples - Lunges, squats, push ups, burpees
, planks, calf raises, mountain climbers, step-ups, supermans

Is there something in there to do pull-ups from? or wrap a towel around and do some rows for upper back?

It’s for a bit of all-over S&C (not to be mistaken with S&M, which is where @Juhniallio is at). I’ve an exercise ball for SHELCs, etc., and something to do dips / inverted rows off. No chin-up bar.

Inverted rows and supermans will do for back… You can make squats and lunges into jumping exercises after a couple of weeks to crank it up and give you that extra bit of core/abductor/glute power…I find squatting down onto a seat (use the ball) sit for a second and then explode up, to be a great exercise… mix your push-ups too … wide/narrow/middle range of arms… again, after a couple of weeks look at introducing clap push-ups for extra bit of power.

You can have all kinds of fun really - bring in a 5ltr bottle of water and use it as a weight etc. etc… it’s endless.

I would also add bridge exercises to CMs workout. Great for the core muscles. Start with 2 legged bridges then move onto elevated bridges and to make it really difficult one legged bridges. Am still struggling with the one legged ones at the moment.

What would you recommend for the lower back, pal? Deadlifting 50kg fertilizer bags has me gimped.

Yoga.

No time. Give me 2 or 3 exercises that will take 15 minutes each evening.
