Dr. Dave, You're a riot. This very syndrome was the inspiration for recorded music. Put your favorite music in your ear (headset, car stereo, etc.) before you hit the waters edge. And while you're at it you should choose audio that doesn't interrupt your natural stroke.
I wish you'd share some of your fitness experience with swimming. It is one of the most beneficial and the least impact oriented form of exercise and people with and without arthritis would be well served to utilize this resource when it's available. Would you share?
And finally, most people don't write their name legibaly (especially on checks)so who's to expect you to remember how to spell your name. You're off the hook. Besides you share and provide too much great information to be accountable for such a small infraction.
Just thought I would update. Managing to cut down to less than 3 a day on cigarettes and still running every second day.
Im starting to be able to run about 4 times the distance I was able at the begining. Started to do some other exercises to try to get a better shape. Been doing some bench with a friend of mine to try to make my chest a lil more solid... I want it to be easier to feel that no.4 pressure...lol
I was wondering what is the best way to get myself more into a better physical condition. I want to do it mainly because I look like a skeleton with skin clingfilmed around it and would like to look a bit better but whilst im at it I might as well get fit for golf at the same time.
The thing is, im completely ignorant of the whole fitness thing and don't know where to even look. I often joke that I was raised on smoke and chocolate(its pretty close to reality actually)...lol
So advice would be helpful
Thanks
Ps - Is this a good way to do bench
Start off with my max which is about 40kg on a good day, do as many sets until I can't lift one anymore - do the same with 30, then 20 and then finish with 15 mins doing the bar ?

I usually start out with a couple warm-up sets of about 1/3 my working weight for the day. After getting loose and stretching in between those sets, I go to my working set weight. Say I'm doing 155 pounds. I'll do 4x6-8 at that weight and that's it for that exercise. Then the next week I'll either up the weight 5 pounds or try to hit the upper limit of that rep range. Once I can do 4x8, I up the weight - now I might be able to only do 4x5 at the new weight. I work up again to where I can do 4x8 then up the weight again.
You'd be better off doing 2-3 chest exercises rather than doing a ton of sets on flat bench. Do some incline bench with dumbbells, maybe some dips if you are able to. Dips are great for chest/tri development. I went from barely being able to do a couple regular bodyweight dips when I first started working out to now doing 4x8 with 55 lbs. added on. If you're looking for chest development, stick with the major compound exercises like flat bench, incline bench, and dips or decline bench with maybe an isolation exercise thrown in for variety every now and then.
