Excerise - Easy Option

[DaintreeDream]

Hi Ladies,

In regards to the cycling, I saw an episode on 'Whats good for you' on Foxtel and it had a story on interval cycling and weight loss - they say that without changing your diet you can lose weight, although if you eat well it helps even more.

The training consists of the following:
3 days a week
Intervals:
'8 seconds - sprint' then '12 seconds - recovery/regular pace'
Total of 20 minutes.

I have worked alot with interval training in the past and it works really well, although I have not tried this actual variant, it does sound good, 8 seconds isn't to long to sprint, and it will make it easier and more interesting to get through the 20 minutes. (Program is made for a stand still bike)

Just another suggestion for your consideration!

Thanks for the tip Mannie. I always used to love it when free to air had aerobics ozstyle on as the variety was always good (if I get a DVD I'm always bored the 2nd time I do it!). I wish I had pay TV but it's sooo not in our budget at the moment.
Good luck with your weightloss Mannie - I too have a way to go to get healthier but we are starting IVF regardless (Dr doesn't think my weight will be too much of a problem).

weightloss is my hardest battle and Im still going to keep ttcing evening though I want to have a lower BMI, but hey they say you don't put on as much baby weight when you are already a heavy girl than our slimmer sisters so lets hope...well Im hanging onto that one...it sounds good to me hey!

In Brissy you don't even have to think about it, as there is a hill about that often! Riding uphill is equivalent to a sprint.
Mannie, I've only ever ridden a road bike. Never in Cairns though, and I don't know what it's like! I certainly lost 5 or 6 kg when I first started, and it all stayed off as long as I was riding at least twice a week. Saves money on transport too! Put it all back on when we moved up to Brissy I think it was the stress of moving. But the Brissy hills are helping me get it off, and the heat makes me want to swim! There's a pool on the way home from work, and I think I will start stopping in there just about every day. I'm feeling good about it all!
