I use level 06. After the bike I do 30 80lb curls, 20 overhead presses, 30 situps (I know I'm working on it) , 50 touch toes.
By the time I'm done the wife is done with the shower.
When I get home from work, 30 minutes after supper I do the same as above but I repeat 3 times. So that's a 600 cal burn. Total of 800 cal burn on the bike. So far my 30 day average is 130 mg/l ... not bad. Pretty soon I will be ready to step it up a notch and add 10 more pounds to the weights. I lost 20lbs so far. I've been doing this for 2 months.
Keep it up. It takes time.
I eat eggs for breakfast most of the time. Lunch I have a Kaschi frozen dinner (low carb).
You really need more excersize time. It takes me 20 minutes just to work up a sweat. The 1.5hr in the evening really helps me.
15 minutes isn't enough!
What I do is put my Ipod playing and listen to that. |
I appreciate your input, but I don't think that I would ever catch up with you. When I ride my bike for 25 minutes, I go about 6 miles and burn up about 330 calories. When I ride for 15 minutes, I go about 3.5 miles and burn up about 150 calories. I have to really keep up with my BG in the afternoons or I will start bottoming out. I can't stand that feeling. It's scary, just like another poster had in a earlier thread. That's why I thought that cutting back in the mornings would help head that off as well.
