Why not Rent an Exercise Bike?
Upright bikes are one of the most both popular and affordable types of Fitness Equipment and here is why.
To begin with, upright bikes (exercise bikes) offer a proven and trusted entry route for those seeking high quality aerobic training equipment without breaking the bank.
The build and engineering required to build a decent, reliable exercise bike is far more modest than for a Treadmill for instance.
Cycling movement itself is another reason; most people can ride a bike - there’s very little co-ordination needed and the weight-bearing nature of the exercise makes it particularly easy on the joints, hips, knees and ankles - ideal for beginners, the elderly or those suffering or recovering from injury.
The main reason is that cycling is also a fantastic cardiovascular exercise and great fun!
Why not give it a try and rent one today!

Studies suggest that beetroot juice helps lower blood pressure
by up to 7% by drinking just a glass a day!
Beetroot produces naturally high levels of nitrate which helps it give us the health benefits.
High concentrations of nitrate are also found in celery and cabbage.
Drinking beetroot juice every day could help to lower blood pressure, say experts.
They suggest just eight ounces (about one cup) – may help people with high blood pressure reduce their readings by about 7 per cent.

Want to burn more calories?
Intervals. Running at a consistent pace is great for longer training runs, but during your intense workouts, take advantage of intervals. By changing between a few minutes faster at a steady pace and adding in bursts of speed at a faster pace you’ll burn more calories, build endurance, and become a faster, healthier runner. Also studies show intervals have been proven to reduce belly fat.
Here’s a 30-minute treadmill interval training session to try.
Gradually increase your speed throughout your training workout. Don’t start your run at a seven mile per hour (mph) pace as you need to give your body a chance to warm up. Start out with a fast walk (4 mph) and every five to 10 minutes, increase your speed slightly until you’re running at a 5 to 8 mph pace.
Run longer. Try mixing up the type of running sessions, ie on days that you’re not running intervals or building up speed, do a longer run at a consistent pace. If you run for 30 minutes (at a pace of 10 minutes per mile) you’ll burn 270 calories. Forty-five minutes burns 405 calories, and even longer, an hour-long run burns 540 calories.
Good luck!

Research suggests that carrying excess weight around the middle can be linked to a greater risk of kidney disease.
It has been common knowledge that being “apple shaped” instead of “pear shaped” adds to risks of cardiovascular issues and problems.
Studies in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology have found traces of kidney issues even in otherwise healthy apple-shaped people.
UK experts state people should look after their kidney health.
Research has shown that having a higher waist-to-hip ratio -(as seen in some apple-shaped people) is connected with lower kidney capability, lower kidney blood flow and higher blood pressure in the kidneys.
This is even shown in those who were otherwise healthy.
It is important to take ensure we look after out kidneys and take regular exercise.

When is the best time to burn fat?
Research suggests doing cardio in the morning on an empty stomach if you’re looking to shed some weight.
Since your body has not eaten since dinner, the carbohydrates in your muscles and liver will be depleted so your body has to dig into your fat stores for energy.
It is also suggested that lean people should eat easily digested carbs before morning workouts, such as oatmeal and fruit—or risk losing lean muscle mass.

Vibration Trainer exercise tips
The vibrating platform of the Vibration Trainer offers the same benefits as an hour-long gym workout in just 10 minutes, burning up to 350 calories.
This vibration trainer has been designed to produce therapeutic vibrations from the feet up through your entire body. The vibrating platform causes rapid muscle contractions that work your muscles continuously. These contractions not only build muscle and bone density, but improve flexibility, burn fat, increase metabolism, improve circulation, improve cellular oxygen and nutrient delivery which slows the degenerative/ageing process!
This machine will not train the body’s cardiovascular system but will make you look and feel great, whilst helping you lose weight.
Ten minutes is all it takes!
Training little and often gives great benefits with this machine.

There will always be hurdles to get over in order to reach your goals. Apart from all of the above, illness and unforeseen circumstances can occur. Only perseverance will get you beyond this point. Like motivation, perseverance is a skill in itself to be mastered. Never give up. Learn to overcome your obstacles and gain strength and understanding from each one.

Why one egg is never an oeuf…
Eggs are truly the most royal start to your day. These low calorie gems offer the perfect protein for all morning energy, and will keep you feeling full for longer. Research shows that people who eat an egg based breakfast, eat significantly fewer calories at lunch, than those who eat a carbohydrate breakfast such as cereal or porridge.
Boiled, poached or scrambled, try them as part of your regular diet.

Positive self talk – Surround and feed yourself with positive people and resources. Take time each day to remain in-tune with your internal talk and check you are upbeat and positive. Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings which will lead to negative actions.

Brain scans show that skipping breakfast makes fatty, high calorie foods appear far more attractive later in the day, according to researchers.
Scans of 21 people showed the brain was more attracted to food if breakfast was missed so people had more food at lunch.
Scientists said it made losing weight challenging as missing meals made calorific food even more appealing.
