About Me
Hi! I'm Anne. I have been fighting with my weight since I was in high school and I've finally vowed to myself that I'd get it under control. I've tied a lot of diets but now I'm just going to hope to eat healthier. I think that will work a lot better than trying to do a set program that I always end up quitting.

Anne replied to the topic how to build strength on hills in the forum Cycling Forum 22 hours, 41 minutes ago
Do some leg exercises on the days you’re not cycling too, but don’t forget to also have rest days. You’ll build strength faster if you give your muscles recovery time. It feels like you’re doing nothing and wasting time, but you really will do better by giving your muscles time to heal up those microtears and build strength.

Probably normal. I’ve had that happen too. Still, have a check up just in case. Why mess around with that, right? It’s your heart.

Just keep going. Keep riding your bike. Do some lower hills when you can. You’ll build up to it.

Maybe not for the first while. Even if you track just during weekdays or something like that, it makes a big difference. Find an app that is really fast and easy for tracking and use that. make it as simple as possible. It helps.

Anne replied to the topic Spring tune-up in the forum Cycling Forum 1 month, 1 week ago
Thanks so much. I don’t know why Im so nervous about it. I’ve just always taken it in to be serviced but it seems like such an avoidable expense at the moment if I can do it myself. I’ll start watching some videos and see how it goes. Thanks again!

My bike is in good shape and was kept in the garage all winter. Can I do a spring tune-up myself? What steps are involved? Do I need special tools?

Keep it up. I find the same thing. I feel like the understanding of the benefits of exercise for weight loss got messed up somewhere.

Anne replied to the topic smart fitness devices in the forum Gear Reviews 2 months ago
I always think most devices are smarter than me…but we all do stupid things, including the devices haha. I think you’d do just the same with a regular spin bike as you would with a smartbike. Save your money.

Anne started the topic what to do about grit on roads in the forum Cycling Forum 2 months, 1 week ago
The weather is beautiful where I am and perfect for cycling, but the roads still have a lot of sand and grit on them, making it hard to stop and easy to slip. Any tips to help out?

Anne replied to the topic Running on sand/snow in the forum Running Forum 2 months, 2 weeks ago
It’s not good for you if you already have joint injuries like if you have bad knees, but it’s definitely a workout upgrade if you want to boost your challenge. I tend to think of it as better for walking as a workout. Running puts you at more of a risk of twisting something. You’d need to be quite fit and in good shape to run on one of those…[Read more]

Not the very low calorie option (depending on what is low for you)

Anne replied to the topic boots with best treads for ice in the forum Gear Reviews 3 months, 1 week ago
Thanks everyone! I did end up getting some really great boots and on sale too because it’s not early in the season anymore. I also got crampons for when it’s really awful out…but oh boy don’t step down onto the pavement with them! Only use them where there is snow and ice or they get really slippery!

That’s not really a long time for exercise to have a difference of that kind. Maybe give it more time. plus, exercise is more for preventing weight gain than causing weight loss. You could even find that while you’re burning fat, you’re building muscle, so it’s balancing out and you’re just not seeing it on the scale. Don’t give up. It’s doing something.

Anne replied to the topic Exercising in sunlight in the forum Weight Loss and Exercise 4 months ago
I feel that they really work. There are some good products and not very good ones. It’s important to use the right one and to use it safely and appropriately. But if you get SAD, they can make a serious difference.

Thanks! I’ll look into Pajar. I’ve read about Columbia but they seem to have mixed reviews other than they’re really comfortable. I’ve seen a few brands like Sorel have flip out or flip down spikes for ice. Has anyone tried them? Is it a gimmick or are they good?

walk everywhere. Walk to the store. Walk to the mailbox. Walk to your neighbor’s house to visit. If it’s within a mile, walk there. Take the stairs and skip all elevators and escalators.

I’m planning to walk a lot this winter for my exercise. I don’t want to slip and fall and hurt myself. So many boots look great but are slippery, especially women’s boots! Any recommendations for great ones on ice? I don’t mind if they’re not cute.

Anne replied to the topic best diet pills to stop weight gain in the forum Supplements Reviews 5 months, 2 weeks ago
Same ones you’d like for weight loss. They don’t choose what your result will be. You do. So if you’re using FENFAST 375 for supporting weight loss on a usual month, use it to support you to stop the gain during December.

Anne replied to the topic What is grip strength gear for? in the forum Gear Reviews 5 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s one of many things we should be aware of. Grip strength decreases over time. If you want to maintain yours, you can do a few grip strength exercises. It also makes it easier to hold on to heavier equipment if you’re using that sort of thing.
