Heavy...

[Nobby]

I was just wondering why my legs hurt so much and I get so hot while I'm on my stilts. I'm still reasonably fit,but this really makes me exert myself. Then I had a look at how much each stilt weighs. 3.6 kg or just under 8 lb each.....If you strapped 8 bags of sugar to each of your legs you get an idea of how much extra weight you're carrying! My poor ol' ticker's only used to pumping claret around a 10 3/4 stone frame so the extra 16 lbs is probably a bit of a shock!!! I'm not overly keen on being in a gym full of huge people,so bocking it is.....

ok now a bag of suger is normally in 1kg bags, so how do you get 8 bags when one bock waighs 3.5kg?

but we all know what you mean, it is a good work out, and i have been loosing waight with mine

I may well be wrong about the bags of sugar thing.....I asked the wife(she does the shopping!) how much a bag of sugar weighs....So 4 bags would be more like it? I'm still pooped after half an hour!!!

They only feel heavy when you walk about on them start walking faster or jog and the spring will counter then weight. If your just bouncing a little and walking a bit you will feel the weight.

The springs are still new as well which won't help....Can only get out what you put in....For every action,there is an equal reaction....I'll soon have 'em broken in, panic ye not...For my will be mightier than ye springs!!!!!
