Terrain/added load makes a huge difference to calorie consumption. I can burn 2-3000 on a ride offroad and be knackered mind :)

40 mins gym - bike/ leg machines

40 miles on mountain bike

Greek yogurt with nuts and fruit compote

I haven't done restorative poses in ages. I almost went to a restorative class last night but it was too darn hot to leave the house. I did add Supported Bound Angle into my flow. I can't find my strap, and what I had wasn't quite long enough, and haven't done this in ages, so it wasn't as comfortable as I would have…

My favourites are spinach, tomatoes, cucumber with mint, pure cocoa (unsweetened), any type of white bean, banana, fat free greek yogurt, vanilla essence, mango, oats, berries, passion fruit, coconut/almond/soyamilk. Generally use those most and make what I fancy. I don't like savoury smoothies so mix and match to cover…

Haricot beans or chick peas make good protein thickeners as they don't taste of much

Ah I didn't know that ty. It's possible if I can get a permanent gym buddy but it's the ££s as well - I would have to pay for two at a gym (I can't do it safely at home). Hence measking about yoga/pilates and resistance bands :)

I did a sportive last weekend with the girls (awesome and knackering lol). Audaxes are a bit unsupported for me unless I have a ride buddy but hoping to ride one at some point ty :)

I have bad knees so squats are out and I ride a recumbent because I already have loose hips and balance issues and was advised it would be more gentle and supported by my doctor, but ty anyway

Hiya. I ride a recumbent which is glute heavy and heels down riding (with hip support) so should be fine but ty for replying :)

Thankyou so much - I just watched the Adrienne beginners video and it looks perfect for me - Ty again to everyone but found what I need xx

Following

I can't use a pool or skate no but pilates/ yoga sounds good. Does anyone have a link to a good online workout please that's gentle on the joints :)

1) My bikes 2) My Garmin Viviactive HR 3) A lifetime goal in 3 years time 4) My cycling buddies 5) Flapjacks/ cereal bars
