don't let the big hills discourage you... go as far up them as you can until you're going so slow you almost fall over on your bike. Then walk the rest of the way... eventually you'll get farther and farther up those challenging inclines until you've completely overcome them.. and the first time you do that will feel incredible!
Most of the shadows of this life are caused by our standing in our own sunshine.

A good way to judge if you're working hard enough is whether or not you can hold a conversation. If you can ride along and talk with the people you're riding with, you're not working hard enough to make any real gains as far as fitness and weight loss are concerned. Of course, riding and being outside is good no matter what, but if you want to see results, you should be riding fast and hard enough to only get a couple of words out at a time. It should be hard to have a conversation.
Well I definately can't hold a conversation lol
I don't like talking when I ride anyway, dries out my mouth and throat and stuff. I can say a few words here and there but other than that it's hard since I have to stop and catch my breath once and a while.
That's good!
I'm always breathing hard when I try to talk so I know i'm working hard lol
Good, keep it up and make yourself go out at least 30 minutes a day. It will get easier, but just remember to keep pushing yourself. You'll see results, so it's worth it.
Oh yea, we'll be out for 30 minutes or more i'm sure. We were out riding yesterday for a good hour- hour 1/2 so hopefully weight starts dropping off regardless of my birth control
Well done. I'm heading out for a ride/run right now.
Nice!
We'll hopefully be going for a ride here in a bit. We just finished dinner but now I'm having a vaginal issue from the seat on my bike. Very irritated right now so we may not be able to go.
Invest in the bike shorts, it makes all the difference in the world. They sell them at any bike shop.
