Hi peeps. I have been cycling for the past 3 days now. The first day my leg was very saw, my body was stiff. But after the second day my body is getting used to it.

I don't want to go to gym, because I’m too lazy for that. So i opted for cycling...

Any advice on how to burn more calories faster, diet, etc...
 
I hate cycling..... will run for hours but that damm seat makes things hurt that i didn't know were there....
 
get a heart rate monitor,
depending on the heart rate zones you stay in depend on whether u get fitter or lose weight more effectively.

cut out carbs after 4pm. Try exercise in the morning it will help increase your metabolism for the day, ditto goes for eating regular small portions of food.
 
I love cycling, my only way of staying fit as well, cycle further, faster uphill at high gears. Or go trailing if u want to make it fun (and a nice way of getting the woman to do some exercise as well seeing that one doesn't want her to lose her shape)

Do u have a girlfriend?
Because there are better ways to excercise... ;)
 
I got onto the saddle for the first time in what must be about 6 months yesterday.
Intense cramps in my legs. But once you get into a routine you will be fine, and thealluseless is right, to burn fat you have to get your heart rate into a certain zone
 
the biggest thing that puts me of cycling, is those tights/ski-pants/whatever that they wear...

...but i would think changing your pace every few minutes would help ie like they do in spinning, and doing a couple of hills would also come in handy

No i think he is but in order for sex to keep you slim you would need about 2 hours of porn sex a day, firstly how many ladies out there even when you are first dating them would let you pound them for 2 hours a day 4 times a week? :p

hahahha. have not cycling since winter started:D
 
Cycling is great for keeping fit. Sadly it's also dangerous nowadays.

We need more dedicated cycle paths!!
 
Why would one be better than the other? Isn't it BPM on the heart that determine how much is burnt?
 
I'm in my 20s and I don't know how to ride a bicylce :o . And I'm too embarrased to start cycling now, because I might fall............
 
I haven't been cycling for.... 9 years almost. Used to do the Cape Argus and Burger Sanlam with my dad. My dad is now a "veteran" with the Cape Argus for doing 10+ cycle tours. (He's done all of them except 2, the last one they made him stop, and the previous one a bunch of cyclists went off route and he opted out)

1st of September is entry day for the Cape Argus, I'm going to get my fat ass in there and start cycling again... this time I have the proper tools at my disposal so I know what I'm doing and where.

Just have to start getting up at 4am again
