Quesada Focus “Get on yer Bike.” Monthly cycling tips / advice and routes. By Gary and Lynn “ Cyclogical” Quesada.
Burning off the festive over indulgence. We hope you all had a great Christmas and wish you all a Happy New Year. Most of us will have eaten and drank too much over the last 2 weeks putting on a couple of pounds or inches here and there. Well that’s okay as it was the festive period after all, but now there is no better time to make a New Year’s Resolution and “Get On Your Bike” and start to burn off those extra pounds. The weather is great during the day and the sun is still warm so make sure you still take plenty of water with you where ever you go.
Why Ride? Longer Life, Improved Health, More Energy, Lower Costs and Extra Fun. Try and pick a relatively fl at route that you know and like, for example along the river Segura either to Guardamar or in the other direction to Almoradi as they are both nice and fl at. Cycle this route for at least 30 minutes fi ve times per week making sure that you are cycling at a mild to moderate pace leaving you slightly out of breath. This should burn off the equivalent of 22 pounds of fat in a year and cycling for an hour will burn off the energy supplied by a chocolate bar or a couple of alcoholic drinks. Remember that there are no age barriers to cycling and people of most fi tness levels, of all body shapes can cycle, slowly and gently if necessary. In a few weeks you should see and feel a difference especially in your aerobic fi tness levels and you should feel like going further and further. The more active an individual is, the healthier they are. Remember you are never too old to start cycling .We have various groups that we take out for weekly trips so if you fancy making new friends, getting some exercise, getting fi tter, learning new routes and having fun then give either Gary or Lynn a call on: 637 487 377 or pop into the shop for some advice and a chat.
