Well stated

Where you plan to ride will determine what you end up getting... off road will require something different that all road riding. I went through this exact process about 4 months ago - I started looking at a fitness bike and rode the Trek f2 and the Cannondale Quick. I liked them both - and they were around $600. I then…

In the end, where you plan to ride will determine what you end up getting... off road will require something different that all road riding.

As was stated above, focus on calorie intake and walking to start. Last June I was 314 lbs, I used MyFitnessPal to track food and started eating clean. At the same time, I started walking the golf course twice a week. After 3 months and 30 lbs lost, I started doing P90 and the 21 Day Fix - slowly but still able to do them.…

In June 2015, I weighed 315 pounds - I started using MyFitnessPal to track my food and changed the way I eat to just "clean foods" (no processed sugar, white flour, etc) - sticking to 1850 calories of fruits, vegetables and proteins - in the first three months just changing my diet and walking I lost 30 lbs. After the…

I was 250 lbs when I started running this past January - I followed a Couch-to-5k plan (google it) and 3+ months later I am up to 2.5 miles without walking and down to 217 - follow the plan, listen to your body and don't be afraid to duplicate weeks if you need to ... Good luck!!!

I haven't tried DDP Yoga - I have done PiYo with Chalene Johnson and I really enjoyed that - it's a little faster paced Yoga and Pilates mix - a good workout with some flexibility benefits...

I like that image - thanks!!!

I started C25K in January as a non-runner that was still very overweight and I can now run 25 minutes without walking - over 2 miles - not fast but not walking. I found there were a couple of weeks I needed to do twice - I suggest trying the next week's workout and if you can't simply repeat the previous week's workout. I…

In June 2015, I started the 21 Day Fix by following the food list provided, but counted calories with MyFitnessPal instead of the containers (they were not the easiest to work with for me), and lost 30 lbs in the first 3 months. Once down 30, I added the workouts - they were hard but I made my way through them. I have done…

I have T25 but I didn't purchase it - bonus for me I guess ...

I believe T25 comes with the subscription but not sure if PiYo does - I bought PiYo so that's why I have access

I am 48 and started a Couch-to-5k plan this past January - weight was around 250 - I have taken things slow - following the plan and did certain weeks multiple times before advancing. Last week I ran my first two miles without stopping to walk. It has been slow going, but safe. Good running shoes was also a great…

Muscletech Mission 1 Bars - Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Brownie, Cookie Dough (in that order) Legion Whey+ Protein Powder - I just got the new cookies and cream powder and I like it - mixed with a cup of Almond Silk and some ice, blend it up... yum... I also really like their chocolate whey+ that blends well with Almond…

I really like it - I own P90, 21 Day Fix, 21 Day Fix Extreme, PiYo and P90x3 - and with the On Demand service I don't need to flip discs when I switch workouts - I have a Roku enabled TV I use in the basement and just connect to On Demand and pick the workout I want. There are some programs you get simply by being a On…

Normally as a snack. When I walk the golf course I will take one with me - normally a 4 hour round so I have one mid-round. I also tend to have them as a during a regular day as I am trying to eat more protein - so one an hour before working out and then a protein shake after (1 scoop of Legion Whey+ protein). That will…

I started a Couch-to-5k plan in January - on my treadmill - as the weather in the Northeast is not conducive to running outside - it starts off slow and builds as it goes. I was not a runner before starting and very out of shape - this past Thursday I ran my first mile outside without walking (it wasn't fast :) ) but it…

I used to eat Quest bars but they are too much work for my jaw - too hard... I have been eating the Muscletech Mission 1 bars for a few months now - I like the flavor much better and they stay softer so easier to eat - and at Walmart they are under $2 per bar. Keep them somewhere not too cold or they harden up (made the…

I was 315lbs in June 2015 when I changed my diet - clean eating and counting calories - I also started walking 18 holes of golf twice a week - in the first 3 months I lost 30+ pounds - at which point I started doing Tony Horton's P90 (his beginner workout) following the modifier mainly - did that for a month. Then I tried…

Some that haven't been mentioned: Joe Satriani - Summer Song Motley Crue - Girls Girls Girls Motley Crue - Kickstart My Heart Guns N Roses - Welcome To the Jungle Pantera - Walk Pantera - Cowboys From Hell ACDC - Thunderstruck Saliva - Click Click Boom Drowning Pool - Bodies Photograph - Nickelback Crucified Barbara - Play…

I am a FitBit owner, but I have been looking at the Garmin units - I thought about the 235 - I am waiting to see the new Garmin Vivoactive HR to be released in April - it is supposed to have golf gps included in a new multi-sport design...

I carry a single key in my pocket and iPhone in a pocket but I hate having a water bottle in my hand. Anyone have suggestions for a good belt that holds one bottle of water - preferably in the middle back?

I have had a lot of success with the workouts from the 21 Day Fix - 7 workouts (1 per day) - each day changes the workout (Full Body Cardio with weights, Upper, Lower, Pilates, Cardio, Dirty 30 mix, Yoga). I've had the most success with that one so far. They are not cheap from Beachbody but for me it has been worth it...

I have the Charge HR and got it mainly to track calories burned based on heart rate - I did not trust the numbers MyFitnessPal was giving me for calories burned. I only wear mine when I work out - I start a tracked session (stopping it when I am done) just to get the calories burned for that session. I find it very useful…

Have you looked at Chalene Johnson's PiYo program? It is not free (and not what i would consider cheap) - it's a cardio workout based on Pilates and Yoga with most of the moves being Pilates/Yoga - just done at a pace designed to burn calories - I really like it myself...

Does anyone here use their activity tracking software to create a custom schedule? I'm looking for a way to enter my training schedule into say Endomondo or MapMyFitness and have reminders pop up and then mark them as complete.

The 21 Day Fix workouts are excellent...

I have never been a runner, but I started running in January - following the Couch-to-5k plan - using a treadmill (cold here in NY this time of year) - it is structured in a way to not push you too fast so as to hopefully avoid injury - I was still well overweight when I started - 250lb - but I have gone slow and followed…
