    only thing is, that the fitness you gain can be lost quickly as its a different type of training plus you plateau easily

    Well the plan is to combine it with cardio to keep the mix.

    yeah you have to, keep it mixed up and remember running less distance is the same as adding distance to confusing the body and avoiding plateauing

    Anyone doing 30 plus Men's fitness or any other type of HIT training?

    I've been lacking on the training front a bit since I retired from football. Have been cycling but the weather and the family at this time of year don't help with getting out on the road.

    I'm signed up for a 30 day programme from January 6th but I have to do some training to get myself up to speed for then.

    The whole idea of the programme is that you can do it in 15 or 20 minutes every evening in the garage or back yard and it fits in with family and work life. The high intensity really gives a burn. I'm just in from 100 pushups and 200 squats in 12 minutes and I'm fecked. Need the bed now. But it's interesting and enjoyable - there's a different workout for every night of the week.

    Sounds good

    Get rid of that fancy bale machine and go back to grapeing the silage:D

    Is there a female equivalent of the 30's plus Men's fitness?
    I do TKD although I have got lazy in the last couple of years and do not attend regular classes, auld age setting in ;) However I have my kick/boxing bag hanging in the house and most days I try to do a least 20 mins bag work along with patterns etc.

    Will banks still allow you to lodge an endorsed third party cheque? Specifically Ulster Bank?

    I was something similar not quite as long but if I was doing it again I don't think I'd put a hand to it myself other than making sure trades arrived on schedule and had what they needed. I don't think the savings are that great TBH and I don't have the hands for getting work as right as a tradesman would. Planning was a bitch here too because my name was being used by someone else to get a planning elsewhere while I was applying for my own:eek:. I couldn't figure out why the planners were so hostile.

    In my recent experience with UB no, certainly in Waterford. The cheque in question was from a major food company but they still woulddn't lodge it for me. Like it wasn't a bob charles one or a delaval one:P.

    We moved into ours this day 4 years ago. The stairs were on the ground in the sitting room, only one bedroom painted, kitchen half finished, no footpath etc. We were 3 years building it and just wanted to move in.

    Myself and my brother in law did an awful lot of the work - 8pm to 3 am was the most productive time of the day back then. Recon we saved €60 to €80k over subbing it out. We didn't skimp either - got a good high spec finish.

    Did they say why? Was it crossed or anything?
