What a great weight loss question:
Question: Okay so I’m a bit of an overweight guy… Okay I’ll start with honesty. I’m fat. Fatter than I’d like.
When it comes to losing weight, when I diet, weight just sort of falls off, I’m just lazy and like to eat what I like, so it works against me. So, now with my rugby team in need of me to lose the weight and replace one of our veterans, I’ve got sufficient motivation to lose the weight.
I know how great of a weight loss method running, jogging, and walking are; but is riding a bike a sufficient replacement for that? (and I know, I know. There’s loads of running in rugby.. I’d rather lose the weight then condition. Running while fat blows). I absolutely detest running.
So would a mix of cycling & lots of crunches daily a sufficient replacement for running or jogging? (along with dieting).
Answer: Your proposed strategy of a mix of cycling and lots of crunches daily combined with dieting is very sound and should achieve your objective. Cycling is equally good as as running, jogging, brisk walking and power walking.
