BG Bike/Exercise Club

A few of us have recently started working out on exercise bikes, and need a place to motivate each other. So here it is! Post your weekly goals, and as you reach your mini goals (daily) let us know! Need some motivation? Tell us and we will kick you into shape.

If you don't have an exercise bike, but use a treadmill, elliptical, or any other form of exercising, you are more than welcome to join! Post what you are using, and your goals as well!


Here are my goals: (exercise bike)
Weekly-90 miles total minimum
Daily-15 miles minimum

Holy moly, what a great idea, Sue! I have an elliptical but want a bike as well. Right now im just trying to do ten minutes a day cause thats all i can do. After a week, id like to add on two minutes.

Quoting Jenna Leigh:“ Holy moly, what a great idea, Sue! I have an elliptical but want a bike as well. Right now im just trying to do ten minutes a day cause thats all i can do. After a week, id like to add on two minutes.”

10 minutes is awesome! Ellipticals are a lot harder (from what I've heard) than bikes, so 10 minutes would probably kill me.

And you are my inspiration to lose weight! You are looking fabulous, and i want to catch up.   

I plan on purchasing one shortly. Count me in! You may kick my ass anytime  

will more than likely be buying a couple of bikes once the man is back. The jeep is on the way so we can haul them too to whereever we wanna ride.
I'm game and will mix this along w/ the WLC in FFA.
I don't know my goals yet though.
I also have an elliptical that we bought back in Sept. I'd use it save for the fact that it squeaks REALLY loud due to a washer being bent adn the arm joint not being properly lubed.

I'm game   

ooh i like this idea, i don't have anyone at home who motivates me, except me! up until last month i was using the eliptical 5x a week for 35 minutes and using weight machines 3x a week, no more than 25 lbs.

its getting harder to keep up that intensity and i also started working so here are my revised goals (i'm 22 weeks along now)

cardio- elliptical or arc trainer 35 minutes 3-4x a week
weights 3x a week
yoga after every cardio session (stretching isa must for me!)

on the weekends i don't go to the gym, so i want to at least keep up the yoga on the weekends. i don't know how long i will be able to continue at the gym, but i am determined not to give up anytime soon!

Woohoo!

Buffy, I keep a can of WD-40 next to my bike because I use it so often it squeaks like a mother. It's horrid. I lube it daily.

Good lord, you have awesome goals for being pregnant! My goals while pregnant consisted of eating a pound of grapes every day and an ice cream cone at night.

Okay Sue, I'm in!! How long does 15 miles on a bike take on anverage for you? I'm just wondering if this is something I can do right after work before I pick up Jake or it's something I have to do after Michael comes home to watch Jake for me.

This is perfect timing too! Michael and I are doing a white meat diet and we're going to the gym 2 times a day.

I break it up while Max is napping. Usually 5 miles here, 5 miles there. It's about 45 minutes total.

White meat diet? Explain please.

lol, i really only got into excersizing about a year ago, and i don't want to lose my steam from that. i know if i stopped when i found out i was pregnant it would be all the harder to get started again afterwards. so far i've met the goals i listed and beyond through my pregnancy, i'll be happy if i make it to 7 months with these goals, we'll see after that.

Well, I hope we can help you with that!

BTW--I love your hair in your avi.

ooooooooooh, you can lube me up anytime.


Actually, you know why your bike is squeaking? WD-40 has a reverse effect when it comes to grease sometimes-it cuts it down causing MORE friction than necessary. Look online , just google or whatever and see about "replacement grease". It'll make you bike sound mucho better  

Replacement grease? Will definitely look into that.

It started squeaking about 300 miles after I started riding it. lol I figure it just wasn't designed for the amount of riding I was doing.

I didn't know what else to put ? LMAO that's why I said 'replacement' grease. sorry... I sound like a dush. ( )
