Cycling speed
I used mapmyride on my phone to track my cycle route and time and I'm averaging about 15 mph for my route which is half off-road (gravel track, bit of grass, some hills) and half road (stopping at occasional red light and slowing down at junctions) 12 mile route in about 45 minutes I feel as if this is a pretty good sort…

What category are you?
Which describes your exercise category the most? No judgements - all have their merits! The slow and steadies - they go out walking to keep fit and log 'washing up' as an exercise The fun lovers - Use Wii Fit and go to Zumba; it's all about the fun The mainstreams - Jogging, cycling, some light weights down the gym. 5…

My head is spinning!
Seemed easy - lose a bit of fat, build a bit more muscle, eat a better diet Oh how wrong I was! Since looking at the forums I'm getting more confused by the minute! Food: Need to up my protein for muscle growth. There seems to be a limit that your body can use though so any more is wasted. Need to cut my fat. But not all…
