Biking: Weight Loss, Energy, Environment And Heart Diseases

With all the interventions given to promote weight loss, there has been a rise on the popularity of using a bike. It tends to be trendy since it is best for saving our planet and aid in our budgeting. What most people don’t notice is that it promotes healthy ways of maintaining homeostasis and effective weight loss.

A 135-pound woman pedaling 12 to 14 miles an hour blasts 488 calories in 60 minutes according to womenshealthmag.com, thus, burning your calories without necessarily knowing it. This could mean biking your way towards your office or the other way around. With biking to your office at least twice a week could greatly burn at an excess of 3,000 calories (equivalent to a pound of fat) per month, promoting a better way to achieve your weight loss goal at the same time saving you money and the earth.

One of the great benefits of biking is that you can achieve an equal body tone of both upper and lower body as well as weight loss, from working through your handlebar to pedaling. It was said in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics that biking increases your energy up to 20 per cent and lessens fatigue to 60 per cent as cycling stimulates your brain to secrete/release dopamine (a neurotransmitter related to energy).

With all the cycling, your joints greatly benefits from all the motions. Biking actually provides less strain on your knees, ankles and spine. Rebecca Rusch, a world-champion mountain bike racer, suggests climbing a hill. While pedaling down, standing would engage your core and triceps as you stabilize your body over the bike. One of the best things that we could benefit in biking, besides weight loss, energy upper and environment, is that it can help lower your blood pressure and LDL cholesterol (low density lipoprotein: the bad cholesterol) that are major risk factors for heart diseases.

Make it a habit and you surely will find great benefits for your health.

Think Skinny! It’s the Best Way To Get Skinny

How would you like to be skinny and stay skinny? How many times have you been on a diet only for the weight to come back again? It’s not much fun, is it? So, what’s the secret of how to get skinny and stay skinny?

What most people do when they want to get skinny is to go on a diet. Usually they are influenced by the latest fad diet. Low carb, low calorie, GI, the list is endless. Eventually they decide which one they are going to go with and because they have taken the decision, they put their complete trust in the diet of their choice.

Diets make it look so easy, don’t they? All your weight is just going to disappear and you don’t have to do a thing, just put your hand in your pocket and shell out the dollars. Nothing could be more simple. Which one do you trust – because at the end of the day it’s all about trust?

It’s true that diets will help you lose weight, but there is a very heavy price to pay. That price is the fact that after having finished your diet, the weight you have just spent time and money losing, will come back again. It’s a depressing thought, isn’t it? The problem is that diets deliver short-term weight loss: nothing wrong with that except who wants short-term weight loss? Why would anybody in their right mind be happy for the weight to come back again? Nobody!

The thing about losing weight and getting skinny is that you have got to want to make it happen. If your resolve is weak, than it won’t be successful. The other thing is that successful long-term weight loss only comes when you make change.

If you want to make change, the best way is to learn new habits, slim habits. By learning new habits you can change your behavior and achieve permanent weight loss. It’s not difficult to do and the rewards for making change are huge. It will enable you to say goodbye to diets forever…what could be better than that?
