Home / Cycling to lose weight. How to lose those extra pounds by cycling

 

Cycling to lose weight has been chosen as the new name for my exercise program.

Originally I was calling my program running to lose weight, but as my fitness level has improved I have begun cycling again more frequently. Now I find that I am cycling more than I am running or walking..anyhow here is my july diary
