Twitter turns the moan into corrective health advice
13 Jul
Yesterday (Sunday) was the annual Bristol Media Football 5-a-side competition. Our Team, representing our parent company BHP Information Solutions put in a solid performance and narrowly missed out on getting through to the Quarter Finals. But that’s another story for another time…
This morning, as I hauled my weary ageing body up from what was an otherwise brilliant slumber, I realised that it wasn’t my legs which were aching but my arms. I did not play in goal, did not perform any stunning handstands having scored or anything like that. Of course my natural course of action and instinct was to Tweet the fact I had aching arms:
Why do my arms ache more than my legs after football yesterday?
A few minutes later I had a reply from a Twitter follower:
Re: football arms. A core strength issue. You’ve been using your arms/shoulders to keep your balance. Work on abs&back!
So there we have it. I get to have a good little moan on Twitter and someone offers me real, practical advice to rectify the problem in the future-even if they are highlighting that my fitness is not what it should be!
