Food To Chew On:

Saturday – Backsliding into The Future

2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:

Thought For The Day:

Am I closer to Christ today than I was a year ago? Is my discipleship more dynamic, or is it drifting? Does the curve on my chart go up to Christ’s call or down to equivocation? What resolution does that call for in the New Year?

Suddenly Saturday, we realize that this is the last Saturday of the year and where did the time go? The time is personal and pray into change for the New Year, for the journey of change is upon us. Enjoy Your Weekend stay warm and dry!!! J

Method 3: Talk Test: Still too complicated?

Want a VERY easy method to tell how hard you are working and make sure you are training correctly and safely in your training zone?

Try the talk test. It doesn't get much simpler...

Basically, you should be able to speak in your normal voice and tone during your exercise session.

If you are out of breath and are unable to speak regularly, then you need to lower your intensity level by slowing down. How's that? Easy, eehh?

Cycling Classes Are One of The Best Exercises For Toning Your Legs

Practically every form of cardiovascular exercise, whether it be cycling, jogging, using an elliptical trainer or cross-country skier, works out both your calves and your thighs. However, cycling has two distinct advantages over other forms of cardiovascular exercise. The first advantage is that the bikes in cycling classes have adjustable pedal resistance; by increasing the resistance on your bike, you can increase the amount of force needed to pedal the bike, which will result in building up both your calves and your thigh muscles.

The second advantage of cycling is that proper cycling form (which your instructor can help you with) works out your core muscles. Maintaining proper form over a 30 or 45 minute workout is a great workout for your core muscles, which include your abs, obliques and your lower back. Having strong core muscles not only improves the way you look, but also significantly reduces the chance that you will injure your back from carrying heavy loads or making sudden movements in the course of your daily life!
