I was "enjoying" the same workout program at the weekend, except for me it was changing the thermo mix bath taps/shower. The hot water side was an absolute so-and-so to reach and of course it just wouldn't come undone. Scraped most skin off the back of left knuckles, but I found shouting carefully chosen motivational words was great assistance. Oddly enough I also used a headlamp strategically placed under bath to see the back corner.PeteHall said:I've been keeping in shape for digging by contouring myself into unimaginable shapes upside down under the dash of the Land Rover today, climbing in and out repeatedly every time I realise that I need a slightly different tool, that I can't pick up, despite the fact that it's right next to my hand. For added authenticity, this has been done with a headlamp on and bits of grit falling in my eyes...

Definitely a good ab workout, plus some vocal training too.
have your mate belay you
I thought you could meet up with one other person if you remain 2m apart and for the purposes of exercise.Alex said:have your mate belay you
But you are not allowed to see your mates lol! Plus none of the trees in my garden are big enough, because I had thought about doing this but, I would have to use a public tree, which is probably against a Covid rule for some reason. (2 forms of exercise, some crap like that?)
Be careful not to get over enthusiastic and make sudden increases in anything. Build up gradually.Alex said:...At this rate I am going to be fitter in this lock-down then I ever was, but prob not cave fit
Wouldn't it be better *not* to do that. So you changeover to ab down then without touching the floor changeover to jugging back up again, maybe even the a knot in the middle of the rope to have to pass, practice the ropes as well as the fitness. If you do that for long periods of time, make sure it's a rope you borrowedJackSherlock said:Still trying to perfect the 'prussik-mill'.
