Walking Without The Menopause
THE recipe for beating “anxiety and stress” for middle-aged women is 4mph.
The Mail looks at research that says walking at 4mph, five times a week for 40 minutes will result in a wetter nose, springy limbs and a happy disposition.
But the study is at odds with advice meted out in the UK, which calls for exercising five times a week for 30 minutes or more. “Exertion should be enough to raise the heart rate for 120 beats a minute or higher.”
That’s high. To get your heart to the required rate at a sauntering 4mph will mean you have to be unfit. As you get fitter, your heart rate improves and you may find yourselves walking for months at a time in a bid to hit the magical 120bpm.
This may bring about the onset of dark thoughts, and how your life has no meaning.
We suggest that before exercising you print out a sponsorship form and walk for charity, thereby ensuring that your exercising is helping someone…

Speaking as a middle-aged hag, can we just leave the exercise out of it and head to the bar?

Can you get your foot on the bar?

Used to be able to get it on the barre.
But to answer your question we’ll see at the Anorak piss up later in the year, just after the opposing side (DDDD’s) collapse in aheap under the bar/table
