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 :-)

Well went to the gym first thing this morning (well at 9 when they open!). It was great - I had so much more energy than when I normally go after work - and no-one else there! Very Happy (It is only a small gym) Was able to go on whatever equipment I wanted, especially the machine that works abductors/adductors muscles - never fancy going on that when there's all the guys there doing their macho weight-lifting Blush

Its the silly season up north. Loads of ladies have joined fat class because the are going to Benidorm in three weeks and need to lose five stones ! The gym is also full of people who are going away soon and need to lose a few pounds ! In a months time it will all be over and the gym will be empty and fat class will be back to the regulars !

Smokin Joe, vey true, this time of year it fills with the quick fixers, just like in January when all the new years resolution makers fill the gym only to realise that after a month of swimming 4 lengths and sitting the steamroom/hot tubs will not move 2 stone.

Started my new regime this week. Aim to do an hour on the bike 3 times a week.

Tuesday 11 miles in 1 hour

Wednesday 14 miles in 1 hr 20 (Had an ice cream in Portstewart before returning though)

Taking it easy for the first few trips as you can see by my times

Oh dear - my motivation seems to have gone out of the window recently. Last visit to the gym 2 weeks ago Embarassed Stocky very kindly sent me his ski fitness exercises so I'm hoping this will get me inspired again - I'm on the 3 month countdown! snowHead snowHead

I couldn't wait, especially as my motivation had gone downhill rapidly. Just to say, they do look very good and he has devised an 8-week programme - perfect for the PSBers!

OK then, here's a challenge.

According to Autoroute it's 692miles from Luton airport to Les Deux Alpes and 55 days away.
We need to pedal/run about 13 miles a day to get there in time. Each time you take to the streets running or cycling or each time on the exercise bike total up the miles you've done and we'll see how quickly we can collectively get there.

To anyone who needs a ski specific workout please feel free to PM me your email addresses and I will send you the workout that I sent to cathy.

As it stands I don't have the knowledge to post it on the forum, (too many pictures and a mix of text and Excel tables) and I am not sure how long it will be before admin gets it up on the site, so if you are interested then drop me a line and I will send it to you.

Thought this might be an appropriate time to re-awaken this thread - I was doing fine until the Tignes trip beg of Dec, gym about 3 or 4 times a week and squash once a week. And my fitness was fine for the Snoworks course! But have done nothing since - I guess now is the time to start getting back into that habit Evil or Very Mad (mustn't keep thinking there's plenty of time till end Jan!....)

How's everyone else done on the fitness front?

well.. I can't stop eating now, but I scored some weights for x-mas and I'm still doing a lot of working out. Best of all I only gained back 2 lbs over the feasting holidays. And its still warm enough to run.

I found my weak areas last time out and thats what I'm really working on this next week before the next time. I was so worried about my core and my legs I ignored my upper body - and paid the price. So I have about 3 weeks of training in that should let me at least move on the flats better..
