SAS Fitness Club!

[Revs_Addiction]

Well after such a lovely w-end I got to thinking that the usual SAS activities are not exactly health conscious!

Consisting generally of:
Sitting down at a PC
Sitting down in a pub
Sitting down in a restaurant / cafe
Sitting down in our cars driving to the pub/restaurant/cafe!

So sedentary at best, combined with booze and generally unhealthy food!!

So now that spring has sprung, how's about doing some more active stuff?

Golf, mountain biking, dog walking, are just a few that spring to mind! I'm sure there are a million other things that would get us off our arses!

They could all be combined with more traditional SAS activities after, so don't worry too much!!

So am I mad, or does anyone else want to join the revolution?!!

Sounds good to me, im always up for some pub golf or did I get the idea wrong?

No really I would happily meet up for a game of golf, or if someone has a spare bike, go for a ride somewhere. Anything really, as I too am not feeling that fit for queen and country. Oh squash is good fun too.

I have two mountain bikes (so you can borrow one Al) and i'm always up for a dog walk.

I'm up for mountain biking if anyone else fancies it. Having seen the videos from previous outtings, watching Nathan stack it looks like fun!

Great - bring them/one over to ours next time you come

You and Paul can go out cycling - whilst I stay home & cook

Can we walk the dogs to a pub ? Burnham beeches is massive and has some good pubs.

Andy,

Will you be having one of those low fat diet pies on Wednesday then?

Another for golf here

I have a couple of Berkshire "rambler's guides" and have used them on dog walks before. Funnily enough, mainly the ones with a pub en-route

Right thats it then, dog walkers and mountain bikers of SAS unite to go to the pub for a nice Sunday beer. Very healthy

Golf +1 - There is always Bird Hills/Lavender Park/ Blue Mountain driving ranges with bars attached for an evening fitness session . Lavender park has 9 holes for a quick evening hit when the evening sun arrives!

Up for that! Do the same in the summer, usually starting/ending at a pub garden...

[ph1l5]

Also any clay pigeon shooters here ?

top golf in addlestone is the best place for the driving rage just thing fo driving range with a hint of bowling!!. You have a bay per team (up to 6 people) and on the range are targets. you register your balls and depending which bit of the target you get your ball in the more points you get... oh and you can have beer at the same time

I've got a couple of those too, one imparticular called 'Berksire Pub walks' Last summer the dog and I tried to do one a week. Cracking!

I mountain bike, and usually try to go night riding with mates during a weeknight, Thursdays usually (finishing at the pub - to cancel out all the good we do!). Happy to have new faces join us. During the darker months, it usually is a more social ride, but when it gets warmer after the clocks change, the fair weather bikers in the group turn up and we do more technical / longer rides.
Only requirement is you have some lights with good run times.

Need to get back into shape after a winter when I didn't get out as much as I should, and ate/drank to much.... I usually ride from my doorstep up to as far as North Downs/Chobham/Fleet and further afield, but also throw the bike in the estate and drive somewhere.

Just unplug the power steering pump from your car. That'll give you an ample workout.

Power Steering?
GHEY.
