"A new you in 42"

im on the verge of my new obsession "cycling" i havent mentioned it to the wife yet (she wont be happy lol) im reading about it online, this is very very bad for such an addictive personality, ill be riding across the arctic or something equally as stupid by may im sure
 
OK Jamrox. I am going to do at least 30 minutes walking as usual, but I feel I need to do something extra too, so I am going to do 30 minutes ironing or cleaning - some kind of housework which uses the muscles in my arms more, 'cos my arms are quite weak and need the exercise. I will be on holiday for some of your challenge so I started the ironing/housework bit 8 days ago so that I still do my 42 days worth.
 
Thanks for organizing this, Jamrox. It should be fun to share our progress. Should we start a fund so we can send flowers to the injured?
 
no we just run passed the injured and rejoice in getting further than them, you can kick the injured on the floor but no spitting





im not competative or nothing

I am certainly in. 12000 steps on my pedometer every day and a trip to Curves for a half hour workout three times a week.

I have two dogs to help me stay on track. They are happy to accompany me on most of the 12000 steps.

Same, but three dogs here!
I was so inspired I took them for a 30min run this morning (well a bit of walking too, our oldest dog isn't up to running too far). Looking forward to keeping up with all you lovely peeps!:D

Lycra isn't essential, you have the alternative of teambg spandex hot pants Lol!:joyful:
I'll try to get more details on the route for you.
I'm in the same boat as you - only got my bike at Christmas, so I've got a bit of practicing to do! X
