Fat weighs less than muscle. Soft fat less dangerous than hard.

Actually, one pound of fat weighs the same as one pound of muscle. Do you
mean that fat is less dense than muscle?


Drink water before you are thirsty.
Aerobic activity burns fat better than any other exercise. Stretch
before
and after a ride. regular better than sporadic and weekend warriors
program.

Heart rate is best indicator to see if you are impoving and
maintaining
aerobic fitness. Any fitness book can teach you the basics about
monitoring
your heart rate. (no equipment needed alas)
I think it is 75% max 3-4 times a week. See your Doctor to appove
any
program if you are over 55 or have a medical condition.
220- your age is your Max heart Rate. I think, actually, they just
changed
that to 200- your age. Am I right?

I don't think so, or I go above my max on every ride. The max HR I've
seen so far this year is 186, and I'm 42.

Take your vitamins. Eat raw fruit and vegables more or only. Fills
you up, 100% nutritious and no fat, transfat content. Prevents Cancer as
well as letting your stomach do what it was made for. Be alert however,
too
much a good thing is still bad. Fibre can actually cause intestinal
complications too.

I agree with this.

Less is More. Moderation is key. Think Thin. Lock the Fridge haha

Not get movin'

You do not need a fitness coach but it is easier to exercise in groups if
you are unmotivated. The latest thing is a video game by CATEYE
attached to
an exercise bike. They had people staying on the thing for 3 hours and
had
to be told to get off. hahaha
Might be worth looking into It is on sale somewhere i know.
