Time to lose the weight, I bought myself a cross trainer today out of money saved by not smoking, in preparation for next week, the instructions say I have to do warm up exercising, after warming up I had to lay on the bed for an hour knackered lol. Viv

WOW, the perks of being a non-smoker just keep rolling in!

ROTFLMBO!! Hey, exercise is exercise. It all counts. I exercise by lifting one fork-full at a time. The bigger the better ;-)

Thanks for the chuckle.

Good for you! I plan on replacing some of my work out equipment as a reward some day. I fixed up my bike today as a first step! Working out is so exhilarating and takes the craves away. I can't believe I used to work out and then smoke! Now I can work out longer!

Good job on saving that kind of money!
Too funny about the warm-up. :)

That's what they're made for, to warm up and crash until you can get the workout in.
