This!! For me its all about the hills-) Returned from a holiday with my girlfriend last may and decided i had enough of keeping my t-shirt on when its 30 degrees so i decided to take up cycling to try and get myself back in shape , year later i'm 11 1/2 stone down from 14 1/2 . As others have mentioned here its what you…

I actually love my cardio workouts, bike/turbo trainer /music - I know i can find endless clips on you tube , i was hoping for first hand experience from guys who know what they are talking about and willing to share their wisdom. @jacksonpt- I am currently using dumbbells on my gym ball and i have to say i can a…

I'm not a member of a gym , any equipment you can recommend? I have a busy work schedule so finding time for the gym is pretty much a no go at the moment . by equipment i mean , machines , type of weights and workouts= Thanks for the advice so far (not intending to hijack the OP) :smile:

I'm at pretty much the same stage now- 156llbs at 6'2 - Any advice welcomed , i usually do 3 good cardio workouts per week with 20 mins on dumbells/swissball workouts 4-5 times a week - Looking to tone up my pecs more than anything not interested in bulking up i prefer the leaner look:smile:

Black Angels, Black Keys , Radiohead , Maserati !!

Drives my girlfriend nuts!:laugh:

I had always loved my cup of tea with one lovely sugar that was until i started reading up on how my body functions , so now the only sugars i consume are natural resources , fruit , honey( damn expensive but delicious) -So after 30 years of drinking 5-7 cuppa's a day with sugar i completely dropped it for green tea , I do…

2 poached every morning, never get bored :smile:

After reading lots of reviews on HRM i opted for the Polar ft7- Great piece of kit !! £75 , well worth it .

Cook with olive oil :smile: Yes Nuts!! I keep a bag of cashews around to aid my hunger(also aids fat burning) , cook with pine nuts , seeds of all kinds, wholegrain(seeds) bread

Anything from York- I bought mine last june for £200 , worth every penny :smile: The only downside are the display units , not that accurate so maybe if its within your budget get yourself a HRM to go with it.

I drink squash(no added sugar) summer fruits

Eat the whole egg!! The yolk contains leucin, choline, as well as Vitamin A, D,E & B. Leucin helps the attack on visceral fat, the fat that builds around your internal organs. It also promotes muscle recovery after exercise.

I did to start now i use sports tracker

Lets say your last meal of the day is 7 pm then you eat again at 1 pm the following day do the maths, not healthy in my opinion - )

Thanks for the tips:smile:

As already mentioned above , most important meal of the day- I used to always skip breakfast , quick cuppa then i'd be out the door , i was also bad at going for long periods of the day without eating like all day until i got home from work,,,bad bad! These days never go longer than 3 hours without eating whether it be…

After years of being an avid cycling fan i decided to buy myself a new bike -Cube Acid, have to say i love it! Really looking forward to some decent weather so i can get out 4-5 times a week rather than the 1-2 at the moment- Snows not good for cycling:laugh: My aim is to hit 50--60 mile rides as well as some off road…

Cycling works wonders for me, during a two hour ride i see figures ranging from 1000-1500 - Before i bought my new bike i used an xtrainer but after 6 months it became very boring , just ordered myself a turbo trainer for my bike so i can now get some serious workouts even it the weathers horrible (as it usually is in UK).…

I don't!!-) What i burn is an added bonus for me, my last cycle ride i estimated 12-1300 calories plus me doing a manual job on my feet 9 hrs a day , no way i could possibly eat the calories i burn :smile:

Cross trainer all the way- I bought mine last june , i was so fed up of being self conscious and out of condition i ordered one the very same day i got home. Cross trainers are the best full body workout if used correctly , i use mine for resistence workouts as well 10 minute 10/10 high intensive sprint sessions. Good luck

Always do your own research then do whats best for you -)

I'm new here , feel free to add me

Go buy a swiss ball(gym ball) I have always hated doing crunches that was until my girlfriend bought me a swiss ball, great for working whole stomach section as you have to rely on your abs for balance as well as the benefits of the actual workout.

I need a friend-)
