Funnily enough, I'm just heading back to Hathersage as we speak. Don't really care if it rains as I'll already be wet!

I've just been for a swim at the refurbished Manchester Aquatics Centre on reopening morning.
They've made a really good job of it & the previously "tired" changing area has had a complete refit.
The pool was in 50m mode while I was there so was a good workout. It was pretty quiet mid morning & the lanes are all nice and wide to allow overtaking (or in my case, the opportunity for others to overtake me).
I'm not a gym user myself, but the gym facilities have been refurbished and reopened too.
It's all bookable on the "Better" app if anyone uses that.
Well worth checking out when you're in town.

Is it ok to work the same muscles everyday ?
I’m 49 so not looking to bulk up as such just get fitter and firmer
I don’t absolutely hammer it so don’t feel sore the next day and do a general full body rather concentrate and one body part

I would suggest rotation. You want an even distribution of muscle.Is it ok to work the same muscles everyday ?

If it's 2 or 3 then full body is fine.
If it's more, you'd be be better off splitting up
It varies , but sometimes I go on consecutive days , I only do light ish workout on each muscle hence no soreness and with it only being light thought it might be ok to do consecutive daysHow many days a week are you going to the gym?

If you're going on consecutive days, would be better to do one say upper body and the next lower body.It varies , but sometimes I go on consecutive days , I only do light ish workout on each muscle hence no soreness and with it only being light thought it might be ok to do consecutive days
Even if doing light work, it will give your body more chance to recover so you can gradually start to do a bit heavier stuff.
Would also make it more interesting for you so more likely to stick at it.

Yes and yes.Anyone use creatine and would you recommend it ?
There is a lot of research to show creatine works…
Used primarily in the phosphogen cycle where it’s used to create energy (ATP) for use in muscle contractions in high intensity excercise ….such as in weight lifting.
It’s one of the only supplements I use and generally delays onset of fatigue when I have a high intensity gym day….such as mixing compound movements with maybe so cardio.
My advice would be to remember to drink lots of water.

It's not a wonder supplement or a steroid but yeah it's scientifically proven to have a marginal positive effect on performance, its cheap and has no negative effects so by all means take it. Don't fall for all the expensive bollocks with daft sciencey suffixes though, just get a big bag of the cheapest flavourless creatine monohydrate from amazon and stir a teaspoon into a glass of water every morning.
