You
have made the decision to lose weight. This is a choice that
all of us make at some time in our lives and losing weight is
a terrific way to feel better and look great. Furthermore, you
will have more confidence and increase your self-esteem. When
you first attempt to shed extra pounds, a realistic goal to
set for yourself is to lose 10 pounds. This goal is attainable
for almost everyone.
But your first question is - where should you start? The thought
of weight loss for most people conjures up images of exhausting
exercise programs and unappealing diet foods, but a good weight
loss plan does not need to make you feel miserable. If you want
to lose those 10 pounds and get fresh air and fun at the same
time, you should check out bicycling. This was probably one
of your favorite things to do as a child.
One of
the major benefits of many to biking is that it is actually
the only type of exercise that can also be used for transportation.
A popular reason that deters most people from losing weight
is that they are on a tight schedule. A person may decide to
lose 10 pounds by joining the local gym and going there a few
times a week to work out. It seems like a super idea until other
commitments, such as staying late at work or picking up little
Johnny from karate, take precedence and you wind up continually
skipping the gym. Suddenly your gym workout routine is broken
because something else always pops up that takes away your time
for it.
Now you
decide to change your course of action and skip the gym altogether
so that you can bike to work every day to lose 10 pounds. It
may take you a bit longer to shed those pounds but you are losing
no time by biking to work. In fact, if you reside in the city,
chances are that it will not take much longer to bike to work
than if you rode in a car. When you think about it, you will
lose 10 pounds without making time for exercise and it's almost
like a freebie.
Consider
that when you are doing other types of exercise, you are only
getting to do that one type of activity. In other words, you
really can't do much else other than work out when you are at
the gym. However, when you take your bicycle as a form of transportation,
the exercise part of that activity becomes a bonus. An additional
reward is that it you save money spent on other forms of transportation
and biking is environmentally friendly. It would be difficult
to dispute that bicycle riding is one of the best ways you can
exercise.
To sum
it up, try to ride your bike back and forth to work everyday
if you want to lose 10 pounds in a short time without interfering
with your personal agenda. If this idea is impossible because
your job is too far away and it requires you to use another
form of transportation, think about riding your bicycle to do
chores before or after work hours. Also, remember from your
childhood that biking is a great recreational activity and riding
that bike on your days off will help you to lose 10 pounds more
quickly, too.
