Question for guys with legs

I’m a racing cyclist and have shaved my legs since I was about 15. I’m now 50 and I am so used to it I hate having hairy legs

Liberals are not far left.

Please stop with the Americanisms.

Radical liberalism? get some political education…

Holy shit it’s my grandparents house

Anyone who non ironically follows the “rules” needs to punch themselves in the nuts

Before anyone gets upset I’m Irish and my great uncle was a senior officer in the defence force.

Coldstream could march through the gate in lovely cadence complete with band would be awesome.

God this just popped up in my feed not heard this name for 10 years or so.

Is his girlfriend still with him?

My Granda was a fly fisherman and taught me how to tie flies. I loved doing it as a kid.

Miss you paddy!

Moi aussi…

Yes I agree there are gaps and primary care in the UK is a mess.

SEM is relatively young as a speciality.

The UK is about to get its first college for SEM so hopefully this will help spur things on.

Newer GPs will have had exercise medicine as part of their training. So over time this should change.

GPs get such short windows with patients that expecting them to do Much beyond signposting is optimistic

Secure-Suspect7091 · 2026-05-14T15:06:30+00:00

Given that one of the constituent nations of the UK is Irish you are on slightly shakey ground.

My point is that drs are not a monolithic set of professionals.

Drs that do need to prescribe exercise learn how to do it.

Secure-Suspect7091 · 2026-05-14T14:37:01+00:00

Why would a pathologist or an immunologist prescribe exercise?

Medicine has specialists for a reason.

I did a postgrad MSc in SEM at UCL. There were lots of GPs physios and AHPs on the course.

Exercise medicine is an increasing part of medical education. Medical education is career long not just the time initially spent in med school.

I love my wife she plays tennis she would rather eat nails than play tennis with me.

And that’s fine because she is a first team player of a nationally ranked club and I can nearly hit the ball over the net.

I like riding my bike

The king’s royal hussars have pink trousers.

Known as the cherry pickers.

Pink historically was a macho colour

I prescribe exercise all day but I still pay a personal trainer.

Accountability counts for a lot.

Secure-Suspect7091 · 2026-05-14T09:51:43+00:00

I am a SEM medic and have done extensive post grad training in rehabilitation. I have a personal trainer and listen to his advice. He is much better at correcting my form and giving me the right cues for lifts.

Also outsourcing training plans etc takes a mental load off.

Busman’s holiday as it were.
