After some overindulging for my wedding anniversary and birthday I have gained a few pounds - yes, I'm human!
So my ever considerate husband bought me a bike.
I'm also doing my bit for the environment now, and while the weather is good it's a fantastic way to get some outdoor exercise. Just one hour moderate cycling burns approx 300 calories, so Ive been out every day so far!
Riding for at least 20 minutes a day will mean increased fitness levels and of course the fitter you get, the faster you can go, thus increasing the energy you expend. Ride fast, breathe hard and lose the weight!
I've found a few hills to ride up too, as this works different parts of the body, and gives an all round better workout. However riding down hills is the best bit!
Obviously eating a healthy balanced nutrtitious diet, whilst exercising regularly, will result in weight loss, toning of muscles and a higher level of fitness.
If you intend to cycle remember to take a bottle of water with you to stay hydrated, and if out for more than 2 hours take a banana for energy.
