    running is to damm hard on the knees and back, a fella i know took up a soft form of internal kung fu and just does that,he loves it and it has become his life... he's about 70 and can kick ass...

    I'm one of those lucky buggers, sit on 75-76kg and haven't budged for 10 years or more. My wife tells me I'm a scrawny little thing and sends me to work with containers of leftovers to try and fatten me up! Drink too many beers as well. I once went put in a concerted effort to gain weight, supplements and pushing weights etc, managed to put on a stone then lost it when I combined it with cycling:eek: . I think I manage to keep the weight off by not sitting still, constantly walking at work, and even in bed I tend to thrash about...but you don't need to know about that!!

    Good luck to you all anyway, I can imagine that 10kgs off would make a big difference!

    Running is bad for me, causes probs as I was a swimmer when young. I find walking so much easier on the old chasis.

    Default Rowing machine

    I couldn't agree more with "WoodBe"....if there is one machine to buy for home use its a rowing machine...there not cheap at all. They seemingly offer little resistance when you try them in the shop.
    But its a bit of a joke of mine when friends see it and pull the handle saying it would do little. I have bet them all to sit of it and row for 5 minutes and gentle pace....they don't last. I have had mine for about 9 yrs and i bought mine for surfing. Office bound i would find i would go down the coast paddle out for a couple of waves and felt like i just rode the Tour de France. It helped me enormously. Mind you the bike still sinks no matter what i do.

    Must be a lot of cupboard rowers out there

    Mine sits in the office beside the desk (I work from home) and it beckons me if I haven't rowed for some reason. Sinjin is right, they're not cheap - $2200 odd - I tried to buy one on ebay, but something 5 years old was selling for near new price so I bought the new one. These things are seriously well built, not a domestic-use machine, the same unit is sold to Gyms as to joe public.

    Like I said, the motivation support is the cream on the cake, that gives the expensive machine it's longterm value. I'm not associated with the company, just a happy customer. Here's a quote from the bottom of the online logpage:

    I don't reckon I'm too far past skinny even at my weight, just a lot more to stretch it over.
    I've been lifting weights as a pretty serious hobby for ten years, ever since I stopped labouring.

    Every time I manage to stack up some more personal best's and to put on a little more weight, I get sent out scrub for work.
    I usually loose 10 kg in one week while working 20hr days and eating dog food cunningly marketed as being 'fit for human consumption'.
    Oh how I enjoy that.

    And BM, I like muscles too. Particularly the one just above the leg and just below the back.
