Cycling help!
Does anyone have a good cycling workout plan? I'm doing a 40 miler in a couple of weeks and I'm dedicating 4 days to cycling training (the other 2 will be Plyometrics for leg strength and yoga). Does a long endurance day and a HIIT day twice a week with plyo and yoga bookending them make sense?

How do you keep fresh fruit and veggies fresher longer?
I've been buying things like grapes, lettuce, tomatoes, etc to have on hand when I'm hungry but I feel like I'm wasting so much food! I'm a single guy so a bag of grapes or a bag of romaine COULD last me a week based on how much of it I eat. I keep having to get rid of at least some of this stuff because it spoils in the…

40 mile bike ride training using stationary bike
I'm doing a 40 mile bike ride in a few weeks and I want to push myself hard training. Unfortunately my outdoor options are kind of limited to get in long rides with hills etc so I was thinking about pushing myself on a stationary bike. Does anyone have any programs or routines that they could push me towards that mix HIIT,…

Weight training - effectiveness of bands?
I'm doing P90X and I have an adjustable dumbell set, but doing a circuit workout like P90X makes switching between weights a pain. I've priced out new dumbells and it's tough to justify a couple hundred dollars for the fancy quick adjust ones. I have bands and I've been using those for everything that requires a weight…

Clean Eating
I'm about 12 pounds from my goal weight so I'm starting to think ahead about how I'm going to change my eating habits to be in line with maintaining a healthy weight. I keep coming across the idea of "clean eating" which is basically sticking to only foods that are as close to their natural state as possible. (no processed…

22lbs in 50 days - with pics!
I started P90 on August 5th and did about 20 days of the program before I decided that it was too easy and moved on to P90X. I just completed Day 30 of P90X. My plan is to be in as good a shape as I was in high school by my birthday (which is in about a month) and follow that with being in the best shape of my LIFE! by…

What do you eat just before the gym if you're hungry?
I had a smaller then usual lunch today and I'm set to go to the gym in a while but I'm feeling kind of hungry. I don't want to eat anything that's going to weight me down or cause any nausea when I'm pushing myself hard during the routine. That usually causes me to back off. Does anyone have any suggestions for light but…

Can't get rid of the hungry!
So I've been keeping my calorie count in line for the last month or so and it's been fairly easy. However, over the last two days I haven't been able to get rid of my hunger. Today I ate an egg white omelette (4 eggs) with turkey and salsa and after I was done, I was still starving. I waited about 2 hours then had a fiber…
