I used to think that was people twirling round getting dizzy.

LOL- no it is indoor cycling- pretty intense.

It is good, safe cardio too- low impact but really gets your heart rate up (Ahem, Emp!)

I forgot to mention earlier- today was weigh in day.

Down another 1kg this week, which is 4.5 in the last month.

Some of that is water weight of course and I'm not so worried about the scale- my clothes are looser and I have less of a gut which is really what matters.

Kick boxing last night. Drill the class a bit harder and got a real good workout in myself. Currently 14.4 want to get down to 13 1/2 st. Not a massive way to go but always hard to shift those last few pounds.

Try carb cycling.

It is useful for getting rid of the last few lbs.

This actually brings up a point I've been wanting to make for a while.

A lot of people go from doing *absolutely nothing* to a brutal diet and exercise routine and they wonder why they don't lose all the weight or keep it off.

IMHO the reason for this is it is too much, too soon.

It is better to take your time and leave the more brutal end of calorie restriction until when you really need it, like trying to lose those last few lbs.

Cleaning up the diet 80% of the time and doing exercise is all most people need to start to turn it around, especially if they have a lot of weight to lose or were totally sedentary.

Starting out with a heavy calorie restriction leaves your metabolism nowhere to go.

--------------

Exercise today is a long walk with a weighted backpack- 15km carrying an extra 20kg.

Should take me 2-3 hours, then back for some drumming and guitar playing.

Have a great day ppl.

I'm grumpy. Been off running with a severe muscle strain for a month. Attempting to get back too soon and I have severely damaged another muscle somehow!?!? looks like at least another month off

On the plus side, I did my longest ever swim on Sunday - 2.5km. Took an hour.

8*8 bent over rows
4*8 shoulder press
