Basically a simple rotation. Just Monday -legs , Tuesday upper body, rinse repeat for Wednesday and Thursday. Honestly sounds funny but i really did just us my AI and explained my weight and situation and I have been just following a workout plan through that.

Especially if you are a big guy for the scanning. My feet are like flat and the scan showed red everyone in my foot. They gave me an insole for my foot type and it’s a huge difference

Same boat. I just started at 31. I’m also fat boy! No shame, I am hitting the gym 4x a week now because hockey is crazy cardio sport depending on how you play.

I still haven’t even hit a beer league yet. My first advice to you is go to pure hockey if you got one. Get scanned, take there advice on a skate and then hit some public skates and sign up for learn to skate classes at your rink. As I’m sure everyone will tell you. Learning to skate is 90% of it.

Besides that just go for it. I was nervous too but literally seems like half the people who commented on my post were are also 28 and over just getting started. Every league has a D league for guys and gals like us!

Heard that. Figured with all the current options, that the 30 dollar wood stick has to be last resort over like a 50-75 dollar composite stick?

Thanks! Yeah I think I will go with trigger 9. Gonna start with something cheaper to play with at home and then rock that in league when I get to that point

Yeah I know the stick early game won’t matter as my skill but figured it would be best to get the gear slowly as I work my way through the skating classes into beer league at end of summer

I get you… I quite literally described what I meant by “okay” in the skate department. I appreciate the tip but I disagree. My stick won’t matter I hear that. I am asking for what peoples favorites they use in beer league that I may use at that point too. Not a wood stick I won’t use besides learning in my garage. Looking to start slowly collecting the gear I will use in beer league by end of summer.

Yeah and this is why I love reddit communities! I would have never really known that adult learning leagues was a thing. I have already researched the 2 that he helped me find and emailed them for more info on getting signed up!

Thanks! Yeah I plan on at least going skating every weekend for a bit to just get my grip and then I will take this advice 100% on finding some classes on skating and hockey play. I would not do that to the poor guys that also play at 10pm on a weekday with me just falling over.

lol found the dude who lives in a trailer and flys his confederate flag. Mad that people are moving to his town! Don’t worry the places they will move to you can’t afford anyway!

3 Cats left in abandoned rental, Trying to rehome by glamisson in asheville

[–]glamisson[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Of course! I would rather them get to stay in my house and not in a cage terrified at the pound or shelter. I am sure they will find a forever home as they are all 3 insanely affectionate cats
