Been out on the bike a bit, but much less recently. Did this a few weeks ago (heavy breathing uphill has been cut) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arBYywlZS8w

Only been out once since but helped a...

Yeah the weekend thing is a big issue for me too. I'm mostly avoiding beer during the week, but then on Fridays it's far too easy to just chuck loads down my neck :D

The whole efficiency idea makes sense, I've definitely noticed (even in the space of two or three weeks) that I'm finding riding up hills easier. If things feel easier then it would make sense that...

Yeah maintenance is what worries me on the bike. Even though it's new and a half decent Trek it's still got nearly 250 pounds of me on it, and I'm not the most sympathetic of riders when I'm going...

Bought myself a 29er to do bit of cross-country/trail riding to try and get a bit fitter and lose some weight. Only really doing a few nights a week of about 10 miles on average, but already feeling...

I still don't do a lot of exercise but, thanks to changes in my diet (mainly cutting back on beer!), I've managed to go from 16st9 at the start of the year down to 15st7 now. Even though I'm 6ft I'm...

Acquired taste really, can be very refreshing. Depends on what you usually drink too, if you're a lager man then Guinness will probably taste too strong, whereas if you're partial to a few ales then...

Guinness is a good choice seeing as most bars have either lager or John Smiths on tap

When I was at Uni I used my drinking regime as part of my exercise regime. I developed what I called 'the Cider and Pork Chop Diet' which basically stemmed from me being too lazy to cook anything...

If you have a good recovery rate and concentrate on cardio vascular I don't see why muscle tone is important unless you actually use it.

I'd argue with that. While it may be true of me now I used to be reasonably unfit but I have never done 50 push ups, let alone in 2 minutes. I'm fairly unfit now but used to ride several miles on my...

I fear that I may have made a terrible mistake. In a short lived idea for getting fit I expressed an interest in joining a 5-a-side team.........my first game is Wednesday :S I tried to warn them...

I had a crack on the exercise bike last night and plan to again tonight. I've really let myself go (even more than when I was 16st 9). I'm cutting back on the beer and trying to get on the bike a bit...

There speaks someone who hasn't walked for miles along a stage to find a good spot :p : You'd be surprised how much exercise you can get at a rally, especially something like the Wyedean or Somerset...

I found out the other day that I weigh 16st 9 (dressed and with wallet and phone etc.) and have high blood pressure. As a 24 year old I ought to do something about that so planning to watch more...
