SPW, I love my running groups, both previously in Brisbane & now in Byron Bay - although now I can no longer run due to a pelvic injury of some kind that sometimes even makes it hard to walk. So, running is excellent - as long as you look after all the bits that enable you to run (ie your SI joint & glutes which I suspect are the cause of my problem, dammit). So glad you & Peter are so into it. Running helped me see what I’m truly capable of when I try harder.
By that I mean any exercise where your muscles face resistance, from pushups to squats while holding light weights (or without weights). I guess it would be any exercise that will increase your muscle mass over time. I use a machine called a Tonal, that hangs on my wall. Kettle Bells are a great option, as are free weights. Also, just standing against a wall and doing wall pushups. Tailor it to your strength level. Here's a pretty broad article about the idea. https://www.ptdirect.com/training-design/training-tools/dan2019s-top-ten-2018most-functional2019-resistance-training-exercises

Oh man, so sorry you are prevented from running. you were part of my inspiration. i'd see your races and think, "I'd like to do that."
Oh, as for the skin thing? Will it help a creased neck? Haha!
I think it actually does! my gobbling neck has been reduced.
Hello Jen King from up the road in Kingscliff. 😊
Don’t you love the 70+ dudes. If they can do it I can do it.👌
So true.
What do you mean by resistance training? Is it lifting free weights, using resistant bands, or something else. Where can I find routines to practice?
