I recently decided to trade up from my specialized FSR Comp, I was looking to buy an specialized stumpjumper or an epic. Both these bikes were available for a trial at my local bike shop so I booked to have a go on them both. While I was there I picked a Giant catalogue up.

Advantages: Are cheapish and can hold enough weights to build muscle. Disadvantages: Are a little awkward to get home if you have no car. Hand grips are uncomfortable
...As Christmas is over, it is now time to forget those eating habits, get back to the exercise and build that muscle back or even burn off all that Turkey and chocolate.
I went to the Gym the other day and it was full to the brim, they come for a week, lose a few pounds then you never see them again. I bet it is because they all have these dumbbells.

The weights are cast iron and painted with blue metallic paint.
This set comes with

I wasn't keen on buying a semi-dry to take abroad with me as I feel they can be cumbersome. I usually wear a 5mm Gul Steamer but felt I needed some extra insulation.
The cyberskin is 0.5mm thick and extremely light. The material is silky and flexible and feels extremely comfortable. It comes in women's and men's sizes from small through to XXL and is £65. Although it is only 0.5mm thick it is equal in warmth to a 2mm wetsuit and can be used alone for diving in warmer waters. I bought an all in one with a back zipper but it is possible to purchase it as a separate top and bottoms. I had thought that it might be difficult to get my 5mm wetsuit over the top of it but in actual fact it made...

Walking through my local Comet store with the husband, we were discussing games for 'girlies' when I said that I fancied something a little bit business like, something like The Sims, but with a purpose to aim for. On the bargain rail, there was a copy... more
