Fighting the relaxed muscle

The lycra comment reminds me of a former business partner who bought a mountain bike (and the lycra pants) to loose weight. He went out every w/e on 10/15 mile cross country rides across the common. He didn't seem to be loosing much weight. Then I heard from someone who went on a ride with him. The ride always ended at a greasy spoon for a big fried breakfast.

Anyway Ian, You have to fit in a little weight training with your regime. One of the problems we have as we get older is the loss of muscle that comes to all after 30 or so. Less muscle = less calories burned. Doesn't have to be much, just 1/2 an hour a week with some dumbells will make a huge difference.

Trencher

I agree with Trencher some varied weight training as well but you are lucky I live in Sheffield which,like Rome,is built on 7 hills .....I've left the bike in the garage as you can't start gently...maybe this summer,,,,

:DHi,

My fitness regime usually involves one sit up in the morning when i get out of bed, walking to the snack wagon during the working day, then walking about 2 miles a day in the factory ( the tea machine is the other end :(),also having a brain like a seive i find myself back and forth up and down the stairs because the little grey cells keep forgetting something....

After my trip at the end of next week i am due in for a consultation about my hernia, and once that has been sorted (if the hospital doesn't kill me) i am thinking of investing in a rowing machine....at my age i should be thinking of trying to be a bit fitter......could walk to the pub for my saturday morning fry up then... :D
