Seems like a good idea to me

So having a hand-shandy is just as beneficial? More so for women I'd have thought, if they are the lazy variety that prefer to just lay there and think of the money.

By lying on a rock until the sun warms your blood sufficiently?

I go for a 30km bicycle ride to work. But if the weather is good I go back home and then out again making it 90km

At 300 calories per hour I wonder just how much help 2.5 calories is likely to be

I think 300 calories per hour is bollox.


I have an exercise bike that has a calorie burner indicator. I found it demoralising seeing how much pedaling it took to burn the calories, though I don't suppose it helps when I had it in freewheel mode.

Hence I ditched the bike and just eat less. A lot easier to give that extra slice of bread a miss (at around 100 calories a pop) than it is to cycle about 4 miles!

Apparently, one pound of stored bodyfat has the calorific value of approx. 3600. Therefore, to shift a pound of fat (not the ubiquitous 'weight' including water, etc) one has to 'do' 3600 calories of exercise. As mentioned, this can be quite demoralising.

You shouldn't multiply the distance by your hip size.

You need to be more vigorous then!
