I treat my allotment as a green gym. 5 mile round trip cycle, then a bit of energetic work, it works well with my weight loss programme. The wind and rain put the mockers on it for 4 days so I done a bit of exercise at home. A cheap little ab trainer from aldi which is supposed to gently tone up your stomach with the different sit ups and leg raises. Gently! my stomach muscles are a bit tender today, my arms are falling off and it hurts to get up from the chair. I can bend, twist, dig like a lunatic and carry heavy weights at the allotment, so how can lying down, sitting up and raising my legs make me ache so much.
