Face it. You know you need to finally put the ice cream down and get off the couch. I know. It is not easy. First came Halloween with the candy. Next came Thanksgiving and Christmas. Then New Years. Just as you were actually going to start dieting again, Valentines day came. You blinked your eyes and found jelly beans and marshmallow bunnies all over your house. Now, the candy corn, cinnamon bears and red jelly beans have widened the hips. Is is too late? No.
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.
Gradually, you will get in shape. It will happen. Just do not give up. Weight loss is a weird thing. You can starve yourself for weeks and still look the same. The trick is not to worry. It just happens. One day you wake up twenty pounds thinner. There are sport drinks you can make with any variety of hand mixers that can help speed up your weight loss. Just visit your local drug store and look on the health isle.
Try to exercise during the same time everyday. Have a schedule and let everyone know that you can not be bothered. This is your time. Stick to it. Try to ride every day. Exercising three times a week for thirty minutes is the minimum amount of time we should exercise.
If you ride for one hour everyday except for Sunday, you will lose one pound in a week. If you diet a tiny bit by shaving off 600 calories a day, you can double your weight loss. This means you are losing weight without the discomfort of starving. You will like riding too! It is the by far the most enjoyable method of exercise.
