Thanks. Joints are still sore, even doing leg weights now is soreness. I may start doing intervals to build speed and get joints back up

So far, travel within Canada looks worse this year than last year? Is douggie still trying to keep Ontario borders closed?? The west is still more open than Ontario. I haven’t decided what to do with my vacation this year, my brother on west coast sort of expecting someone to visit him...

Did my first jog this night in more than a year!?? 8.5km in 58 minutes.

I prefer curb side pickup over trying to locate it instore. Only had one negative experience few months ago where the picker couldn’t locate weights, cancelled order. Weights went back in stock so purchased them again and next picker found them. The Pickup went with no hitch afterwards. Done...

I’m in 2 week dilemma of completing home gym or waiting for gyms to reopen. I finally took car off collision insurance next month so it’s also adds pressure. I bought that bar weight set off Canadian tire for $300 last month but the bar isn’t that good; held by screws, and only suggested for...

Well I’ve seen the used market doing that since the beginning of this. Just was surprised to see this from a big box store overnight. Have to wait for decent triangle offer now, which will still give back less than this markup.

Was browsing Canadian Tire website to add equipment to home gym, all weights went up by 25% in price since March this year. Purchased last set around that time. The 30lb bought for $58 is now $87, bench went from $130 to $170(?). Wish I purchased that power rack at $300 that is now $400.

Need to get back into running. Used to run 10k 5 days a week at gym. My problem is that I enjoyed the gym bubble, and the treadmill is a softer landing for joints. Plus the convenience of scheduling one stop workout area; running + some weights right after work, and go home. Now everyone wanders...

I’ve avoided fedex/ups/etc but last month some companies moved to them because of the delays in usps/Royal Mail without my knowledge (free ship advertised so no specified carriers ). Ended up paying about $20 for ups/Dhl brokerage service + taxes. Considering the government charges $11 for...

Any road suggestions for someone missing riding the BC roads?? Lol I should add the ontario landscapes and sightseeing just don't look the same right now.

This thread is making me miss the mountains and adventures!! ? welcome back to our home crew!! And enjoy your trip/adventures to our outbound crews!!

Just saw 3 Bowflex benches at Canadian Tire on Eglinton/Laird, website said $200 Plus they had 2 flat benches for $100. https://www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/bowflex-3-1-adjustable-workout-bench-0847998p.html Might go back with car to pick up the Bowflex one.

Last info i got from CBI, was that they can forward parcels at a cost. Something like postage from them + regular parcel fee + $10 handling fee. But they are losing out financially and stuck with many parcels.

All stores inflated their prices for the demand it seems. Standard now is $2/lb at minimum? Hopefully gyms push prices back down but I wouldn’t count on it yet.

I prefer the flat benches at gym but can see some benefit to buying an adjustable for home. I’m still kicking myself for not buying the adjustable bench at CT for $100 right before the Covid shutdown. Mostly on hunt from dumbbells. Would be thrilled to own a bar and plates (go to gym mostly for...

I’m back to GoodLife as of this week as well. But I’m seeing the benefits of having some equipment at home as GoodLife moved towards appointment style and it’s not drop in at convenience anymore.

Anyone manage to find some weights, bench in store recently?? I have some dumbbells purchased right before covid but would like to buy more, even though prices have skyrocketed.

Ah the motorcycle adventure days. Glad to hear you got back on track.

I had this stuck in my head while riding. So true though ?

Oops i should change my post to stage 3. Agreed. They actually moved faster in stages in western Canada and are way more relaxed about it. I went by don't drop distance standards and wear mask indoors.
