It starts in October with the Halloween candy. Next is Thanksgiving in November. Immediately after is Christmas. During this time the weather is cold. Instead of exercising, we are eating even more. We all make vows to start the diet in January but right away comes Valentines Day and everyone is giving you chocolates. After the chocolates are gone, suddenly the house is filled with jelly beans and marshmallow rabbits. By this time it does not matter. Our figures are already gone.
Now we need extra help. Fruits, vegetables and a lot of water. Buying mountain bike should be put on your list. Why? because walking is for really old people that can not do anything else. Running is for people already in shape. Walking just takes too long.
One hour of moderate cycling will burn about six hundred calories. If you bicycle at about 12 mph, you can burn twice that. While running burns twice as much as cycling, it is very hard. Running for more than a minute is difficult for most people. Cycling is the perfect medium.
losing weight means to eat less and burn extra calories through exercise. If you are embarrassed to exercise in public, buy a some black pants, a black helmet and ride in the evening. As you start to get more confident, try using you bike for as many errands as you can. Going to mail letters is a perfect reason to take the bike out.
As you start riding your bike more and more, you will end up getting in shape, save money and help the environment. You will even be happier because exercising releases endorphins. If you get more serious about your weight loss regime, there are many power drinks you can make with your hand mixers. Exercising makes so much sense. Bicycles make sense.
The trick is to let everyone know about your regime and do not let anyone alter that. Shoot for one hour of exercise every single day. That way, if fall short for some reason, you will be sure to get in a good amount of exercise. Experts say to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, three times a week. That is the minimum and hardly enough.
Every six hours of riding will burn off approximately one pound of fat. This means you can have one day off a week without riding. Without changing your diet, you could lose one pound a week. In two months, you will have lost almost one dress size. If you shave off as many calories possible by limiting your caloric intake, you can easily speed up the process. By the way, riding is fun!
