^ I did last summer, only it was seven miles to and seven miles from. :D Twas amazing, and I'm looking forward to doing it again this summer (well, if I still have a job *mumbles something about the damn budget*).
 
Got some quick lifting in this morning before I had to come back and get ready for work. Since it is going to be ridiculously nice out all day/night again, going to walk home from work. Made it 3/4 of the way last night before nature was calling and I stopped to catch the bus for the last mile. 3 miles ain't bad though. 4 miles tonight. Oh yes.

You act like it is some big deal. If the place you live in is bike friendly, once you get your cardio up, get used to using the bike for everything, and have the proper equipment it beats the hell out of a car or public transportation.

The only reason I would ever want a car again is to be able to get to some more remote areas where there isn't much public transportation (parts of the Alps for instance, or being able to walk the dog in the forest when time is low).

With the proper equipment you don't get wet or cold (except the feet rarely). Proper stuff can be expensive, and puts a few people off. In the end the bike saves a ton of money, and keeps you healthy. If you like riding a bike it's like a win win win scenario. I really like biking! =D
 
It is a big deal - I used to cycle all the time, but still the idea of 10/12 mile round trip to work everyday is just fucking - that would take ages, unless your area is flat. It's real bike friendly round here. but also some ridiculous hills that make me think that riding my motorbike into the next town is definitely the way to go...bike for short journeys, like 3-5miles there and back, or 10 miles in one go if I don't have to do it again later. It would just be too much energy used up, with my supoerquick metabolism - I swear I'd never put on weight lol.

Today - PC breathing exercises, full body isometrics, and 60 squats - I been really tired today, not entirely sure why...just did just did 32:39:26:19:52 dips to finish off my day!

My route to/from work wasn't flat, was seven miles, and only took abouuut a half hour. I got it down to 23 minutes the one day when a storm was pending, but usually it only took about a half hour. Half hour via bike, or fifteen by car. I'll take the exercise. :)
 
You would be surprised how fast you can climb hills when you get yourself used to it. It is all about conditioning, and slowly expanding your strength. Before you know it you can climb a few hundred feet pretty quick. It definitely gets slower if you need to do over a few hundred feet though because you have to pace yourself more.

I commute on flat ground, and my normal pace is around 18mph, it takes me a little over 15 minutes to do 5 miles at that speed. Not bad at all, and considering traffic around here/trying to find parking during busy times of the day it is faster than travelling by car.

I did a 'gold' cardio boxing workout, followed by a 'perfect legs and butt' workout. Now my legs feel like tree-trunks and are all shaky! At least I know I pushed myself. ;)

Call me crazy but I love that post-workout shaky feeling! Like you said hun, it's the sign of a damn good workout :)


I did another tabata training session today, but just at home by myself. Damn it is such a tough workout!! I've gotta head out to uni in like 30 mins but I'm too pooped to get in the shower :(
Today I did almost the same session as Monday:
* 10 x 30 second sprints on the highest incline on the treadmill, then
* 3 sets of:
- 18 squats with 5kg dumbells
- 15 burpees
- 18 lunges with 5kg dumbells
- 18 pushups
* 1km run at 10km/hr
 
yesterday

3 sets, no rest
15 pull-ups
20 dumb-bell swings
400m run

today

30 min jog

Oh yeah definitely - I know how far you can push yourself - it just wouldn't be good for my metabolism to do that. I'd look like a stick figure haha.

Isometrics, 60 squats, aaaaaand pushups and yoga to come later
