To Cycle or not to Cycle...that is the question! by Randy Mclean

Weeks 7 to 10 - 30 minutes 5 times a week

Weeks 11 to 12 - 20 minutes 3 times a week

See how this works? The first few weeks will give your body and mind the time it needs to adjust to this new activity you are providing. Then as you progress you introduce greater levels of activity. You will then be better prepared to take these requirements on, whatever they may be. Then once you reach your peak the activity then trails off in order to avoid burnout.

Looking at this long range you can also get a bigger picture. Since those 12 weeks will help you quite a lot you can maintain for awhile doing weeks 11 and 12. Then when you are ready to go at it again just repeat the cycle until you are happy with your results.

The same thing applies to your eating habits. If you are used to eating sweets quite frequently don't just cut them off, you'll go crazy! Instead just cut the portions down in half for example, then as you are ready you can move to the next step.

Most experts will agree that people generally set goals that are too far out of reach for themselves. This often leads to discouragement. While opinions vary try for a steady loss of two pounds per week and adjust accordingly. Take it all the way!
