Do you have a bike? Its a great workout, easy on the body, and great for your health!
Anyone who wants to join me in getting some powerhouse legs to try your hardest to make a month goal of

Come join me it will be fun!

That's AWESOME! Way to kick it off, Bru! :bigsmile:0 -
Excellent. My neighborohood would be considered interval riding as it's full of pretty steep hills. I average 7 miles in 40 minutes and believe me, it's a tough 40min.
I can't remember everything since this the beginning of the month but I'll post what I do recall.
June 4th - 14 Miles (7 miles 2x a day)

Way to go. But be careful, cycling is worst than Crack. you start with a goal of 40 mile and before long you will be doing 100+ miles a week. I know because thats what happen to me 5 years ago.
So again great start and keep on pedaling!0 -
As hot as it was last night even at 8:30pm I still went out riding. I just made sure I have a water bottle filled with ice (believe me, it melted quick). I was able to accomplish my usual route with only a few moments of fatigue. I really think my neighborhood is perfect HIIT because it's very up & down. There are few parts that really kick your butt with also a few moments of recovery. It's just enough to put you at the brink of total exhaustion before you get some relief. I love it.
June 4th - 14 Miles (7 miles 2x a day)

I think next week, if we can catch some cool-er temps, I will expand my course a bit. I would like to make my course 10+ miles. Lot's of neighborhoods close by, I just wanna stay off the main roads cuz I usually ride at dusk or shortly after.0 -

I cycle to work and back every day
At the moment my total for June is: 82. By the time I get home tonight I will be on about 86
Great challenge though, it's amazing how addictive cycling is once you start!!!0 -
Nice. I plan to start riding to work now that my daughter is out of school and home for the summer. It's only 1 mile to work so it's not much but I think 2 miles a day x 5 days a week x 4 weeks a month = 40 miles. I dunno the math but I bet that adds to a hella lot of calories spent. Not to mention, I would like to beef up my legs some cuz I am 6' 7" with a 38" inseam. Heh.0

You guys are doing so awesome! I would LOVE to bike to work, but sadly I work in Iowa & live in Illinois and have to take the Interstate to cross the Mississippi & there are no pedestrians/cyclists allowed on the bridge.
So any biking I get done is purely leisurely.0 -
Previous Miles: 33.35
Current Miles Total: 42.85. Goal achieved! I will still keep updating. Everyone is doing great!0 -
I will join! We spent the day running errands around town on our bikes...19 miles. I know I have more miles logged for June but I can't remember at the moment so I will just go forward from here.0
