Squats, lunges, step ups, hammy curls, leg press, calf raises, that sort of thing. From what I'm hearing, I think I may just focus on core and upper body. My legs are already far and away my most muscular part.

So when you sit down, your name is Eileen?

What you categorize the exercise as makes no difference. That is just for your reference. I usually do my weights (a high intensity circuit with timed rest breaks) followed by cardio. I generally start exercise mode when I start my warmup, and end it when I finish my cardio. Or, if you prefer, you could start the exercise…

I've got you beat. I can not listen to a damn word, nod my head and even make sympathetic noises appropriately, and even, when my wife gets pissy and says "you aren't even listening" rewind the babble track in my head and repeat it back to her. Unfortunately, she has become aware that I have this talent, so it only comes…

Get padded cycling gloves will help the finger problem.

I started that series in 1994 as a freshman in high school. I finished at age 33. Ridiculous. Great series, but really could have used an editor. You could cut several thousand pages and never miss a thing.

A combination of sloth and gluttony.

Is there any chance Dr. Hymans first name is buster?

I used to pre drink in the shower while getting ready to go out. But never food.

You gonna buy the cool Jersey for completing the challenge? I want a Strava orange Jersey, but I refuse to pay $120

3-8 17.4 miles 3-12 17.2 miles March goal 100 miles

Well, if you get hit by a car, it won't be because he didn't see you...

Leg day at the gym. Then 17 miles on the bike. I may not be able to walk tomorrow.

My gym membership comes with a hot yoga membership. I only go to the non heated restoration class. I HATE the hot room! I find it very distracting and counterproductive to be honest. I wish I had access to more non heated classes, as my flexibility and balance suck.

20 mile ride today. (assuming my trainer doesn't torch my legs so bad that I can't walk) lol.

I want to get into backpacking too. The great smokey mountains national park is only a couple hours away. I want to do the four day hike to machu pichu in a year or two.

Some cycling shorts with a chamois will help with the sore rear end too. If like me, you don't want to wear spandex in public at this point in your weight loss, get cycling briefs with a chamois. They go under regular shorts.

I use Strava for running and biking.

Sounds like it might be bursitis. I had that, and perscription anti inflammatory helped.

Plus there isn't anything you could remotely call a hill in the whole state.

It irritates me that that app is not available in the US!

That is indeed a fun fact.

I do rows and squat pulls with them.

I prefer to have a seperate place. If I had equipment at home, is work out too much I think.

It has nothing to do with propelling your weight. Bigger muscles burn more energy doing anything. So being a big man, I burn more sleeping than a small woman does. Look at it this way... A small woman's quads contain x number of fibers that are y long. A big man probably has more fibers and they are longer. So every pedal…

I could probably burn 700 in an hour of intense spinning, but I'm a 6'4" man.

Biking? Hiking?

Right now, mostly the gym. As soon as this accursed winter ends, I'll be spending a lot of time on my city's green way (a 15 mile paved trail with no cars). Apparently the nearest trailhead is only 2 miles from my front door. I'll be biking and running all over that thing all summer. I'm also trying to find a masters…

I am a 275 lb new cyclist myself. Two words... Bike shorts. They feel like wearing a diaper, but it helps. Since I figure me in public in spandex is a crime against humanity at this juncture in my weight loss process, I opted to go with bike briefs with a chamois under my usual gym shorts. Also, you can upgrade your…
