So my riding has suffered for the facrt that I dont do it enough, initially because I had no time, but now mostly because I am so unfit its frustrating.
I am looking for advice/a discussion on how to get fit and stay fit.
Historically I was always very active so remained fit andstrong as a side effect - but having gained almost 50lbs and lost strength, a more focussed effort is needed to get me to a balance point, then - ideally - I stay active and keep it that way.
I am fortunate to have a metabolism that others envy, and if most people ate as much, and did as little as I do, they would be obese - I count my luck there.
SO -
I need to drop weight, I need to build conditioning , and I am anything but disciplined. How do YOU do it, what do you think works best, and just discuss!
My intent is to grab my hardtail (with smoothish tires pumped up) and get some miles in - boring or not; also to sneak a bit of running in as cross training as its known is they 'best way to lose weight, gain conditioning'; am using the gym at work to do assisted dips and chinups (~40lbs assist, currently ~255) AAAND have been doing '8 minute abs' 5 days a week, and it has made a difference.
So, rambline psycho 'passes the mic'
Please chime in; Im only Clydesdale by virtue of pure size (6'8" 255) so I bring it here and not the Clydesdale forum!
