Interesting thread, Ed

I like the ones where you have to use only your own body weight best, I think more repetition with smaller weights, or only your own body weight against gravity is healthier than big weights. I had a lot of gym patients, severly damaged by doing things wrong. The trouble is that especially with the spine, when getting too much load and building strong muscles while misaligned, can be a bit of a time bomb..when you then get spasms that are so much more powerful than in an untrained body they will be so much worse, too. There is a big difference between health and fitness, many fit people are NOT healthy, I wish people would realize that these are two different words for a reason.

The supplements also, not recommended for health because of the knock on effects on the rest of the body system.. but excercising for health and balance in the body, definitely. Active tilers should by nature of the job have a good muscular system, but to balance out one sided load, like always spreading addy with the right arm etc, short hamstrings and load on the knees, that is when gym work comes into its own. At the same time, not as macho, but much more useful for accident and injuries prevention are yoga and other similar stretching exercises, short big muscles in an inflexible body are pretty useless except for show.

I've got physiotherapy excercises to do for my shoulder which concentrate purely on using my own resistance. But the physiotherapist has said I have to work both sides of my body, otherwise I'll do good things to my right side and just leave my left side behind. I have to work both sides equally so they can work together when I'm using the muscles properly.

and speaking of exercise I'm gonna go and walk the dog. she won't be happy cos it's raining but I'm feeling a touch claustrophobic being stuck inside today

Ive been going to the gym for the last 3 month and noticed a difference in my work, I seem to have more stamena and feel more alert!! You wouldent neglect your tools, so why do we neglect our primary tool, our body. Tiling is just such a physical job we need to take more care of our health!

 

[Aston]

exactly charlie,

as the chinese say, prevention is the key to cure!

eating the right foods throughout the day gives you better energy releases, which give more output, which earns you more money!
weight training, builds muscle that supports and takes the strain for the joints. also makes lifting 25kg bags and boxes of tiles easier.
people who excercise and eat a healthy balanced diet statictically cope with stress better and live longer

we aint tilers anymore, we are atheletes...lol
