    Well done you. I guess all you have to do now is skip the bar-b-q season with Mozz and see what wonders it might do for your mental well-being!

    That's a stretch, good work. The bit from your place to the roath rec is alright, from there isn't so scenic or shaded. Newport road is the pits...

    Through heath park, down wedal road, across the Rec, up to Colchester avenue. Down to Newport road, only a short stretch on Newport road, right at the Pottery into New Road, through brachdy lane to end destination, we get the bus back home. Both ways is a bit too much for my calfs 😁

    We take various routes, ( as far as i'm aware the taff trial doesn't go to Rumney from Heath) weather permitting we walk to Rumney most weekends, i did say we dont walk back!! but last night the busses were being cancelled so do did walk home as well, i did 21,000 steps yesterday, Doris did 23,500, she went out in the morning, the weigh in this morning disappointing with only 1.5 lbs loss but with my legs feeling it a bit its going to be a couch potato day today, i dont like being out with the bank holiday crowd, screaming fkin kids!!.

    The Taff runs from North to South, Rumney is South East, (as you already know) if you went the Taff trail then you would be going the wrong way The coastal path runs along the Rhymney river, around the back of the steel works and the gypsy camp. If you start by the magic roundabout then you can take that route.......Lovely......

    Since January we (my partner and I) have been doing an hour of weights most weeks in an Over 60s physio group. I have done a few weeks of double sessions but we have also been away from home a lot so it has been stop-start. It is not at the frequency recommended in the article, but we have both felt the benefit.

    Good work jon. Doing resistance exercise after a certain age is more beneficial than heavy cardio in my opinion. As we age our muscle wastes away. The core of our bodies is really important in terms of strength, mobility, basically everything that we do. There's a saying that is completely true and something that stuck with me from my playing days. 'From your knees to your nipples, the rest will look after itself.

    excellent jon just try to keep it going over a period of time try do a bit of cycle work or brisk walks too

    been doing 3 to 4 sessions regular a week for about 16 months now . the classes i go to the age ranges vary but think my fitness levels are up with the 30 and 40 year olds now mind you the woman i spar box with would kill me in a real fight !

    my downfall is i still have a few beers on the weekend........
