Jesus....i'm dying.

I don't know about Snapzzz, but I have been for a long WALK along the cliff tops, enjoying the sunshine and the sea breezes (mind you, I did stop for a rum and raisin ice-cream which was a bit naughty!).

I am quite sure the best thing is to stay fit all year but somehow it never quite works out like that with me. I get ill, or have a mass of paperwork to do, or get addicted to J2Ski or something :wink:

My App says i need to rest today after yesterdays exertion.
Dont mock the app, the app knows best.

Ps....i still ache.

A rest day is where you take light exercise (like an hours walk) not lie on the sofa -)

Left my house at 7:15 for work and returned at 6:45pm.....hardly a lie on the couch.

Which is your regular level of activity and is fine if you want to retain your current weight and body shape.

I guess real question is what you are doing in those 11 1/2 hrs. How much is spent doing non effective things e.g. commute, vs how much is working or spent on your own time e.g. gym. People use this as a measure of quality of life, how much time you can control vs world controls for you.

Snapzzz,
What does your App say for you to do tomorrow? Is it anything light and easy that I can do as well?

I really do need to get fitter. The hour's 'rest' I had walking on the cliffs today has made me quite tired and my legs ache :oops:

It was the suggestion of "Moobs", that had me opening up the discusion onto calorie levels. When I was an athlete, I could cheerfully eat my way through 6500 cals per day ~ and tip the scales at 11.5 stone, (at 6ft 2")

My belief is that if you have a reasonable skiing ability, and can ski in a relaxed style, then fitness is not such an issue. We should easily get through a days skiing ~ after all we spend 80%of the day on the gondola/chairlift.

I maintain that strength, and strength endurance, couple with mobility, are much more important.

The squats that I do, (half squats, I too think that full squats are not a good idea), are aimed at strength endurance.

Mobility is important for the avoidance of injuries.
