Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Anyone interested in a fitness motivation thread?

Though I try and keep fit year round I often fail. There is greater urgency as the ski season comes around. Is anyone interested in having a virtual fitness group where you post what you intend to do and then post whether you have done it to keep the motivation going?

I have been cycling in the summer but now with the dark days and dirty weather have somewhat less enthusiasm. I hope to exercise around three times per week of mixed gym work and jogging with a first ski trip probably third week in Jan so enough time I hope.

I hate the gym - I run in the summer, do 10k events and also did the Great South Run this year which pushed the envelope a little at 10 miles ( I am a 48 year old 14 stone, beer drinking, food loving bloke )

Since the clocks went back I have managed one run a weekend plus some light leg orientated weight exercise at home. I can't run outdoors now as I live in deepest darkest Wiltshire and there are no lights here, in the village or the tracks I run on.

I don't need motivation - I need light.

I have a 10k event coming up at the end of the Month - RNLI Run up to Christmas at Ringwood - which will be a challenge at the current rate of training.

I know I should join a gym, but just can't hack the thought of being near all those possers lifting weights and oiling themselves.

Have just started jogging again after a 9 month break Skullie I have also started doing squats, crunchies and holding the the seated position against a wall. I do need a bit of motivation. How long can you snowheads hold the seated position for? I haven't timed myself yet, but I do it while I brush my teeth Toofy Grin

I do gym and climbing wall during the week and mountain biking on weekends - after having my weak lil' legs holding me back all last season I've realised that if I want to get into this ski lark then I really need to get off my lazy backside and get some exercise.

CP, Its not always like that,(well not in my gym in woking) .Most people are 'normal' shape and just trying that extra bit. Its good for those wet evenings and then run at weekends.

Nick Zotov, the morning thing is key - at 6am my critical facilities haven't really kicked in, so the virtue gets carried over from the night before (a safe distance off). I only live 5 minutes walk from the gym, so by the time I realise how stupid I've been I'm sitting on an exercise bike.

I lost about a stone over the first few weeks, but then I stabilised because I decided I'd been very good - and rewarded myself with cake rolling eyes

Fitness - weight loss motivation.

Once upon a time there was a thin bloke. One morning he woke up and was a fat bloke, nearly 19 stone. He sat in the office or the car all day and really enjoyed his John Smiths, Guinness, Indian and Chinese takeaways. He joined a forum with other ski nuts and booked himself onto the EOSB. The night before the bash (Friday 22 April 2005) he had sharp shooting pains in his arm and shoulder. He had to take his wedding ring off as he thought his fingers were going to explode. The next morning he went to his doctors but it was closed (topical at the moment) so he rang the emergency number on the door. Within 30 minutes he had been to the emergency doctor, was rushed to A&E and was lying on a bed linked up to a heart monitor. "Suspected heart attack" the GP said. He was due to meet Russell in only 7 hours to jet off to GVA and meet the other bashers. Heart is fine - very strong infact definitely no heart attack but blood pressure extremely high. Doctor was a skier and had been to Les Arcs only a few weeks ago. " Go skiing but be very careful not to push yourself".

Hugh wake up call. Went to EOSB - met the other nutters and Lord Whitenoise. Promised easiski he would lose weight for the next bash !

He came home, started the diet but only lost a stone over 6 months - not good enough. October 5th - joined slimming world. Quite a big effort for a fat bloke to go to a local slimming club ! In six weeks he has lost 13 pounds and last night I saw him in the gym jogging and cycling for over an hour burning off 550 calories in the process. He couldnt have done that in April.

If you need ideas for weight loss he told me to try this website www.slimming-world.co.uk

It works !

Just back from my gym. Waggled a few weights and spun the pedals on a stationary bike for a while. Now I am ready for the important part of the day - lunch. Must get in training for the midday restuarant stops in the ski resort.
