In the beginning... There was an exercycle....

Welcome to my blog.

This is a journey to health and fitness. And here is the background to my future posts.

In the beginning ..... There was an exercycle.....

I purchased an exercycle to get (funnily enough) some exercise. After assembling and putting in the lounge, it proceeded for the next few months to collect dust, and become a wonderful clothes horse - so much for getting fit!

The along came TV coverage of that wonderful cycle race Tour de France. My flatmate challenged me to cycle for 30 minutes each day that the professionals cycled.

So I did.

And I enjoyed it.

Then the Cycle race finished.... What to do??

A new challenge was required.

So, I decided to carry on cycling (around my lounge, it is an exercycle after all).

Rules of Engagement are:
Use cycle almost every day - a maximum of two rest days every 7 days is permitted
Cycle for 45 minutes
Record distance "ridden"
Starting at my Home address, map how far I have travelled that day.

Until now, that is precisely what I have done.

Now I am adding a new challenge.

BLOG it!

In my next post, I will let you all in on just how far I've come so far, and where I'm heading to.
