Muscle Deterioration

Post by proper postie »

I'm off for the foreseeable future now and was wondering how fast leg muscle deteriorates?

Built up some nice definition on my calf's from this job and don't want to lose it.

Depends on your age really.
I find 3 weeks holiday usually is enough for me.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It would help if you could do SOME exercise if at all possible.
Who will you be supporting in the World Cup?

I'm trying to sack the crutches and walk,but it's a pisser in a cast.

Dunno really,Scotland and Ireland are not there so I don't really have a team competing.I just hope it's a good tournament after the let down of the last one.

What about them? I have no link to England.Nothing against them,but I wont be supporting them.The sooner they go out the better if you ask me,then we don't have to listen to their media.

:Very Happy Seriously, when they first started sending men into space, some were given exercises bikes to keep up muscle tone, others not. It took only six weeks before some the muscles started to wastw in the men who didn't excersise= quite scary!
