Mens Health Magazine Jan Feb

When I was doing the google searches Mens Health magazine kept coming up in all the searches too. I’ve looked at the cover and most of it seems to be about something I’m interested in.
Its placed in the Mens Magazine section in Tesco,s slap bang in the middle of the Lads magazines (Loaded, GQ) and the Gay Times so reading the thing in the shop is out of the question. Either way your typecast by other shoppers. The male models in the adverts probably feature in the later magazine.

The Jan/Feb issue comes with a two section paperback book that is well worth the cover price alone. Half of it is titled “Weight Free Workout” and the other half is titled “Turn Fat Into Muscle” both edited by Joe Kita. The weight free workout would suit many as you don’t need any equipment. I’m going to give it a try to see how I get on.

The magazine isn’t bad either decent articles on health , exercise and nutrition. Fashion is a bit subjective and probably pads the magazine out. There is even before and after pictures of a bloke thats lost nine stone. You’d need to offer me more than a Sony MP3 player to get before and after pictures of me.

There are some interesting facts about new years resolutions in the mag mainly 50% will have dropped them by March and the gyms will be empty again. Mine is stay below 88 Kg.

Google Analytics

When I started this blog site I knew a bit about Google, had seen Dave Gormans Googlewack DVD and wished I’d bought some shares in them.
Well Google Analytics opens the door to a whole new world of information about the visitors to this site. Its a plugin for WordPress and and its now the reason that I continue to blog.
Back in June when I started to blog the intention was to keep in touch with others on the Lifestyle and Weight Management Course. Well that hasn’t happened to any great extent due to NHS burocracy. I’d written the earlier articles on Cycling clothing and easy rides for the overweight but was in the dark regarding the site because of a lack of feedback.

Paul said I was getting hits but it wasn’t till the Google Analytics plugin was installed that I realised how many. Below is a list of words that visitors have keyed into a google search box and ended up looking at this site.

cycle sat nav

Thats just for the Sat Nav page, The Weightloss diary is another one.
It’s an immensly powerfull data gathering tool. I even know that I had two visitors from the USA looking at the Quaker Oat Granola Comparison post. The World map shows the server location of everybody.There was even a visitor from Alaska last week and someone in Japan keeps spamming me. I have to use the google translate button to see what they are trying to push.

The thing I really got a buzz from was seeing the site come up on the first page of a google search for a “spinning calories burnt” “Aldi Cycling” was another one. A chap at work who is a prolific ebayer told me your nowhere if you can’t get on to the first two pages of a google search. The more I looked the more I found. It probably helps that this is a fairly diverse site. If it was just about weight loss I’d have run out of things to write about by now. I’ve looked at a few of the dieting forums and didn’t like what I saw. Women (mainly) starving themselves and posting logs of what they ate for the day. 1 coffee 1 lettuce leaf that sort of thing and beating themselves up when they hadn’t lost anything at a Weight Watchers or Slimming World weighin.

One of the searches I did had me just below WeightWatchers and MensHealth, now these are big hitters in anyones language. I’m just a bloke that was morbidly obese and has got his life back through healthy eating (diet) and exercise. Cycling was the means of doing the exercise.

Comments also keep me going. The weightloss diary is a popular page for those looking for that sort of thing, Google Analytics tells me that they are not interested in doing any exercise as that page has far fewer hits. They are completly missing the point of how the weightloss was acheived. The weightloss was acheived by the increase in exercise I was doing. Google even logs the time you’ve spent reading the page so I can see if you’ve read it or it wasn’t what you were looking for and you’ve left. Exercise is one of those unread pages.

Now 40% of the visitors to this site keep coming back so I must be doing something right.

Everyone have a Happy Christmas and New Year.
It’s been a fantastic 2006 for me, 2007 should be more of the same.

Tonights Spinning Class at West Kirby.

It may be coming up to Christmas and things are a bit hectic but but I\’m still keeping up with my exercise routine. I\’d normally have gone down to the Oval for a tuesday class but Tina had hurt her wrist or arm from what I can gather, so it was West Kirby instead. For those that do a google search and come across this site I use local council facilities, I\’m not a member of one of the fancy gym chains.

Barbara takes the classes at West Kirby, she hasn\’t seen this site yet but 974 others did last month. 42 of them visited the spinning section, 2 were from America 1 of which lives in California. So there is worldwide interest in her class.

I had a short session in the gym before the class as I had set out early because of fog. I was logging the session with the Garmin Edge 305 being used as a heart rate monitor. The only thing this doesn\’t do is count calories indoors. I\’m aware a lot of you are doing google searches of calories burnt while spinning as this site has a high google ranking for such a search. I now alternate between the two as I don\’t want a Polar HRM just yet.

Barbaras classes are as hard as you make them but I do think the Schwinn bikes have something to do with it. These have a heavy flywheel and these take some getting up to speed. The thing is lets say youv\’e just completed a hillclimb section and have backed off the tension to level 1 for a sprint section, as your not getting a breather because your still turning a heavy flywheel your heartrate doesn\’t drop. It remains at a high level.

For the record I set a new maximum heart rate of 192 BPM in tonights class. I was pushing high numbers for most of the class, the log has me at 21 minutes in zone 5, 14 minutes in zone 4 and 15 minutes in zone 3. Now for a bloke my age the numbers are not starting to add up. The commonly used formula is 220 BPM – Age.
For me this would be 220-47 = 173 BPM. I\’ve just seen 192 and wasn\’t on the verge of keeling over. It was tough but by no means 100%, 100% is me in a heap.
I\’ve been close to a heap and it was 166 bpm lets say 18 months ago.

I don\’t consider myself above average, 10 months ago I was well below it. It is something I am going to look into. I\’ll have to ask Barbara what routine it is. There must be some logic to it. Any way it\’s done me a lot of good. The fan also helped, I\’ve been absolutley soaking after some classes. I stopped the clock when my pulse went down to 106 BPM.

CTC Ride Eureka Cafe to Ice Cream Farm 2

After Fridays debacle with the ski gloves I’m determined to be a bit more prepared for this ride. The gloves have dried out, the Iceni has had its chain lubed and the Garmin is charged and the HRM has had its battery changed. Weather looks a bit mixed so I set off overboots on but no overtrousers. I’ve also managed to take a spare pair of Aldi Winter gloves with a lining pair thrown in to boot.

A little shower soon blows over at Brimstage and I’m just chugging along through Thornton Hough on the way to Willaston. At the lights at Hadlow Road one of the North End catches me up his bike decked out like a christmas tree. The pace quickens down the top road as can be seen from the Motion based site. It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like this so I’ve taken a few pictures.

North End Cristmas Ride

I’ts much the same inside, with everyone in a festive mood. Turns out the North End are off to ” A pub somewhere ” . Our planned ride to the Dunham Arms has had to be cancelled as they are only serving christmas dinners. It was only a few weeks ago that we filled this place on a wet wednesday, with not a regular or other passing customer in sight. The North End assemble outside so its off outside for some more pictures.

These images are compressed, if you’d like a copy at the orginal size, let me know.

North End Heading out.jpg

I know I’ve captioned one of the pictures wrong it should read Mel

A little later we set off for The Ice Cream Farm the group comprising of the two John,s , Barbara, Jill, Bob, Andy, Annabel, Barry and moi. Turning left at the church towards Ledsham heading towards Capenhurst, turning right before the station.
Turning left at Backford we head towards Wervin. Here as we cross over the motorway the weather takes a turn for the worse. Steady rain, not a downpour but it takes the shine off things.

I’m shaking my hands to get the water off them as I know from Friday that they won’t stay dry forever. Towards Beeston and the hills in the distance we can see sunshine, our route though has us twisting and turning as if we are trying to stay under the black cloud overhead. Around Hargrave the rain eases off, I’ve been riding off the front so its a sprint up the bridge over the canal and down the other side to get the next picture of the group turning into Newton Lane.

It was mainly other cyclists at the Ice Cream farm when we got there, other clubs and riders from around Cheshire. Todays choice was a Christmas special Baguette and a pot of tea. The converation got around to BMI (Body Mass Index) calculations. The Times managed to cock it up with people getting strange results.
So long as you stick with the same units (Kg/Mtrs) (Pounds/Inches) you should have much trouble working it out. The all singing dancing PDA gets an airing as I have a BMI calculator programme on it. Once one has theirs done everyone wants to know what theirs is. Well a couple of us are in the overweight category me included, the women were normal. No one would have qualified for the course I am on. My BMI was 41.9 before I took up cycling, Morbid Obesity starts at 40>.

There was another cyclist in there who was raving about SealSkin gloves and socks, 100% waterproof etc. I would have bought some of these the day before in Chester but Millets had put a security tag on the cuff, so I figured the membrane would have punctured so gave them a miss. Back outside I change gloves to the Aldi winter specials with a silk innner glove that I picked up from Decathlon in Stockport.

I don’t know if anyone ever looks at the routes on the MotionBased site apart from Ray but average heart rate for this ride was 105 bpm which sticks it right in the fat burning zone. There were parts that were a fair bit higher, like staying with the chap from the Noth End down the top road. Or sprinting up Woodbank at 18 mph to take a picture of the group only to have the phone malfunction and I end up getting a shot of my foot. It’s a lot better than sitting on an exercise bike in the gym watching the TV with the resistance on level 1. Loads do it for some reason.

There are 101 way to the Ice Cream Farm but this is a fairly straight forward one. Once you’ve done it a few times you start to get to know the lanes and you get to know the turns. Apart from two busy road crossings its done on quiet roads and lanes. The cyclepath through Chester keeps you away from all the traffic. If there is anyone out there contemplating taking up leisure cycling this is one route I would reccomend. Its flat, there are a couple of points where you may have to change down a gear or two or get out of the saddle but thats about it.

Back at the Eureka it’s time for a tea and a flapjack. This weeks ride home was via the Missing Link or route 56, all the recent rain had cleared it up a lot. Back through Thornton Hough, the lights getting switched on for Brimstage and the final climb up Resthill.

Wirral Loop (A very wet ride).

Things didn’t go to plan today. In fact the plan went west the night before.
The 60 odd mile Steve Cummings route that I was planning on doing wouldn’t transfer into the Garmin Edge 305. I was also going to ride it in reverse order just to further complicate things. The forecast said showers, I can cope with showers, but they lied. Google Steve Cummings , now riding for Discovery Channel.

The only bit of kit I had on that wasn’t Aldi badged was the Altura Hi Viz Jacket. You can’t miss me in this and it’s a quality bit of kit, breathable, waterproof, vented at the back and comes with these fancy waterproof reflective zips at the front. Pity I forgot the Aldi Winter overshoes, I will pay for this later. The Aldi ski gloves are getting an outing so off I set in a light drizzle.

The botton of Rest Hill is flooded so it’s a singing the rain act as I plough through it with the feet out of the clipless pedals. I’ve taken the only picture of the ride on the return.
It’s a bit dismal as I head through Brimstage and Thornton Hough but spirits are still high.
I’m still dry, it’s a penetrating drizzle on the outside, the Aldi gloves seem to be doing the trick and before you know it I am at The Eureka Cafe. There is a slight problem, it is closed. There is another chap outside that I have seen there in the past.

I retreat to the warmth of the Mini dealership at the Two Mills lights. Pleasant enough place but they don’t seem to take me seriously when asked a few questions. My next car will probably be a Mini but the pushbike outside and me dripping all over their cars probably diverts their attention. (don’t forget the Hi Viz jacket). The other guy prefers to wait in the rain. Once I’m sorted I check to see if it is a late opening and it’s off on the rest of the ride.

The Eureka Cafe breakfast is part of my ride, so I’ve been thrown off course. The penetrating drizzle persists as I head back through Puddington and Burton. Thoughts of the Steve Cummings route long gone. I take the road down to the marsh at Burton. I don’t know if the firing range is still in in operation but these days but I doubt it. Denhall lane is always a challenge, I saw 8% gradient at one stage so its not easy. Terry (77) showed me this one.

Feeling a bit empty and a bit damp I call in at Ness garden Visitor centre not surprisingly I’m the only customer, its early, too early for lunch and the weather is horrible. I settle for a pot of tea and and a mince pie (no cream). Once I’ve got the overtrousers and jacket off I find I’m dry underneath and nothing like the drowned rat dripping every where when I walked in. It’s a nice setting, bright and modern and the staff are cheerful.
On the way out I chat to a remarkable lady on another table initially about the weather but also covering health and fitness. Another one of the cards was given out. I only ever ask that it is passed on to someone who might benefit from a site like this. This year has been one of unbeleivable change for me and it’s not over yet!

The ski gloves are not proving to be 100% waterproof the right one is sodden, probably with water running in through the cuff. Heading towards Neston I head down Church Lane as this avoids going through Neston Cross. Emerging near the Library I head down the road to Parkgate. I’d normally stop here for a drink, admire the view and one day have an ice cream as a treat. Not today I chug along the front the drizzle not bothering me.

Once past The Boathouse the only way is up, this used to be a stiff climb for me but it’s easier these days. Long, a bit of a drag but not steep enough to get out the saddle for. Once at the top road it’s straight on past the Glegg arms (where I used to drink in younger days) and up the hill to Heswall. I purposely choose this route these days as it is always gridlocked with traffic. Today is no different.

Today its another call in to Dee Fine Arts to see if there is anything that catches the eye. The problem today is I’m dripping wet, I have quick look around but think I shouldn’t be looking at any watercolours the state I am in. Back on the bike and heading towards the lights down the outside of the traffic I see what the cause of the holdup is. A bus is trying to turn right into the station. Its way is blocked by a very considerate (not) motorist ignoring the keep clear markings on the road.
Just a well the Firestation opposite didn’t have a call too. After that the road is clear to the lights not surprisingly.

Right at lights along Pensby Road to see my mum and dad. They can’t get over the change in me too. I’m contemplating a couple of changes for next year, but where do I go from here?. It won’t be backwards. The plan changed again, the West Kirby, New Brighton route got changed to Gills lane, Barston dip . Along Station road and back to the bottom of Resthill. There was the little matter of crossing the flooded road to take into account. So I stopped and took a picture of it, the only one on the ride.

Rest hill doesn’t look much from here, but its the end of every ride for me.
Taken in a gearing of 40/25( no granny ring now) it’s taken out of the saddle at the bottom, maybe seated after the rise at the gates to Storeton Woods.

Weekending 17 Dec 06

Monday: Session at the Oval after work.Crosstrainer for 30 mins 370 calories burnt, average heartrate 113 bpm. Rowing machine, played the fish game four minutes , 971 metres rowed with a score of 825 points. This was quite hard as you have to vary your pace to eat the fish coming the other way. It would have helped if I hadn’t left the machine on level 10 to start with. Just a bit of fun. weights, logged.
Tuesday: Another session at the Oval after work. Crosstrainers were busy so it was on to the rowing machine. Seeing as I wanted a bit of a challenge I had a look at the new programs and made an error of judgement by selecting 10,000 metres of rowing. The best part of 48 minutes later I finish the progamme. 564 calories burnt and 500 metres of that was at 100%. 2 weight machines and I’m done.
You feel like your putting in twice the effort on the rowing machine compared to the crosstrainer. Not as intense as spinning though.
Wednesday: Crosstrainer for 30 minutes 375 calories. Weight routine logged. Not in work till Boxing day. Looking back I haven’t been out on the bike for a week, so I need to get out more.
Thursday: Weights, 2Km of rowing , 15 minutes on the crosstrainer, followed by a spinning class. 887 Calories burnt according to the Heart rate monitor. Good spinning class with the front and back rows doing 8 second intervals of sprinting out the saddle.
No wonder I ache.
Friday: Ride day, Thinking of doing the Steve Cummins ride that was in the comic last week. 63 miles. Think it would make a good ride. I’ll have to have a go at sending it to the Garmin Edge 305.

Crane Sports Technical Ski Gloves (Aldi)

On the last two rides I’ve ended up with cold and wet hands. The Aldi Winter Cycling gloves are OK untill it get really cold (see your breath cold). They are not waterproof either. It’s not a complaint just a fact. For £2.99 they are a stupendous bargain. Seen some on Ebay for double that and postage.

To get around this problem I’ve invested the grand sum of £4.99 on Aldi,s Latest Offer Ski-ing gloves. I gave up ski-ing when I piled on the weight as my knees wouldn’t hack it. Plus I would have looked like Father Christmas in a red ski suit.
Well the knees are fine now I’ve lost the weight so look out Livigno.

I’ve bought these gloves for cycling, everything else seems to be around the £30 mark that I’ve looked at.

The gloves: Ski-ing gloves, Thinsulate lined for warmth. With a “Hipora” breathable, waterproof inner membrane. First impressions look good. Orange flashes don’t match anything other than the ski jackets on offer. From memory Hipora was used in the C&A “Rodeo” Ski Wear. C&A dressed Skiers used to be called “Rodeo Riders” by the holiday reps, that was the last time I wore C&A (not been in the UK for a few years now).

I’ll let you know how I get on, I’ve some motorcycle gloves that are just too bulky to operate Shimano Ultegra STI shifters, Sora button maybe but not Ultegra inner levers.

Just to let you know I fell off my bike wearing these gloves, there is a very small hole were a crease probably wore through and the nylon on the back of the hand is marked but thats it. I cracked a bone in my shoulder and my arm was badly bruised but I’m still using the gloves. Once the weather bucks up I may try something different. I’ve got a enough gloves lying around unused now!

CTC Ride to Boughton (The Peacock)

The forecast didn’t look too hot for this ride and as the crow flies it looked on paper to be a short one. I was running a bit late as I couldn’t quite sort out what to wear as I haven’t set out much in the rain.

I’m at the top of RestHill and a car passes with a bike on the back of it. It transpires it was George. The Garmin gets started and I’m off, breakfast awaits and I’m in good form. I pass one of the Sunlight just after Brimstage, one of the CTC riders at Thornton Hough and Brian just after the turn off for the missing link. I was doing 20 to 23 mph at the time playing around with the big ring to increase my speed.

I don’t know where all the other clubs where this week but the cafe wasn’t bursting at the seams this week mainly CTC riders this week. After a quick breakfast we assemble outside and we’re off to Woodbank rollcall reads John, Andy, Jill, Brian, Barry, George, Mike and moi. (I may have left someone out)
At Sealand we take to the Route 5 Cycle path to Chester. I haven’t been on this particular part but further on the path looks very familiar.

Ellevenses were at the christian tea room at Newton, it’s just off the park/play area. We cycle past the “No Cycling” sign and park up. It’s a bit quirky but tea and a mince pie for £1 is a bargain. (No cream for all the dieters, weight watchers and calorie counters out there) The funny thing is mince pies are the topic of conversation at the followup class in the evening. Mikes got some mudguards this week that cost more than the bike. I changed bikes to the winter trainer or number 2 bike, riding at the back forces you to take these extreme measures.

Routemeister John leads us out through the Cheshire lanes, we head out to Waverton and a little later on Saighton Lane I blast off the front over the hump back rail crossing bridge. It’s one of those challenges I see in the distance and think I have to do this. It was an opportunity to burn off the mince pie. No picture from the front this week as it’s raining.Anyway its getting a bit wet now and we head towards Saighton.
At Huntington just past the Rake and Pickle we take to “The Jungle” its a cycle lane through an overgrown valley. The google route map explains it all. The whole idea of these rides is to ride on cycle friendly routes.

Once past the school we are soon approaching the lunch stop, “The Peacock” at Boughton Heath.
The Peacock (Boughton)

Jill had warned us that the service was slow and so it turned out. Three of us ordered caesar salads or something similar. Now apart from the chicken there is not much that needs cooking on a salad. Every Tom, Dick and CTC Harry seemed to be getting served before us, and all we wanted was a salad. Anyway just as we were about to find out what the delay was it arrives.

The Peacock. (rear)

Plenty of space to park 30 cycles, pity the weather wasn’t a bit better.

Part of the reason they had trouble coping with the meals could have been the size of the group. There where 34 of us there that I counted which I thought was an exceptional turnout, considering the weather. The Chicken Caesar Salad wasn’t bad but I’ve been spoilt now by the bagguette at The Swan. I have trouble getting something healthy at the chain pubs that do meals. Something has to suffer if they can do two meals for £8 so I generally leave well alone and stick to what I know has worked for me. Which means no chips etc.

Its wet when we reassemble outside and we head towards the canal, we follow it for a while and then its back on the cycle track. This is a familiar route now, its quiet with only the road in from Hoole to cross that is busy. You can see the route on the Google map. For all those that look at the routes, I couldn’t come up with these routes just looking at a map. It takes years of The Knowledge that I just don’t have. The Garmin GPS is a shortcut to gain that knowledge.

We seem to be riding under a black cloud that follows us all the way back to the Eureka Cafe. We can see blue sky but it’s a couple of hundred yards to our left. Good weather for newts as we cross the A5117. It’s been a good day despite the rain, I’ve had some good advice off George (72) about increasing my speed, and training. He used to do Red Hill which is just a couple of hundred yards from Rest Hill. A bit of rain shouldn’t stop you going out. Or should I say the thought of a bit of rain shouldn’t stop you going out.

Weekending 10 Dec 06

Monday: Work, 1 hour at the Oval, 375 cals in 30 minutes on the crosstrainer, 5 minutes rowing 66 cals 1 minute of which was 100%. Weights (logged) no leg work.
Tuesday: Blood pressure taken at the doctors. Still on Ramipril.
Wednesday: Looks like a CTC ride to Boughton according to the Wednesday Section list.
I hope it brightens up.
Ride to The Peacock at Boughton. 49 miles including getting to an back from the Eureka Cafe. 2903 Calories burnt. Average heart rate 118, max 160. Eddies light weight routine while waiting for the followup class.
Thursday: Barbara,s Spinning class at West Kirby plus 15 minutes in the gym. 705 calories burnt in total, the class was about 570 calories. Max pulse was 170 bpm but it spent most of the class above 150.
Friday: Work around the house, no exercise as such.Maybe classed as weights.
Saturday: Same as Friday
Sunday: Work, no ride. Time to reflect on whether it is time to move on to another job.

The Sixth Follow up Class

There,s another followup class for me this Wednesday which will make it 9 months since I started the classes. It’s been a remarkable year, not just from the weight loss perspective. You wouldn’t believe the difference that doing this course has made to my life. The results have not stopped coming even though the classes finnished 6 months ago. My focus is now on increasing my fitness level.

There are regrets, I regret not seeing the other members of the class I attended to see how they are getting on. When I jump on the scales and see Ron fishing through his records to update my figures I’m consious of the fact that mine are literally the only ones that go across the page. Out of around 25 that started the course there are only 2 of us who regularly attend the followups.

The site is proving more succesful than I ever thought it could possibly be with 974 visitors from more than 10 countries visiting last month. Most looking at the homepage but lots looking at the weightloss diary, cycle satnav, clothing and spinning. I’ll do a post on some of the statistics that I see on Google Analytics, I think they are remarkable.

I’ve had another batch of business cards with the address of the site on them printed for the waiting room of St Caths. The last ones all went, hopefully to people who will get some benefit from them. Still no links from the Lifestyle and weight management course, but who needs them when you get on the first page of a Google search just under Weight Watchers and Mens Health. Both big players, I’m just a bloke thats lost weight and likes to cycle.

To be continued.
It was the current classes last classroom session tonight. Hopefully we’ll get to see some of them at the end of January.
Not a bad turn out this month, eight of us turning up. A fair bit of the hour was taken up with talk about coping with Christmas, Helston Blumenthals cookery program and the Marigold Fisheries chippy. This is the best fish and chip shop on the Wirral. I drive 11 miles to go to this chippy it’s that good. It’s also a good reason to go to a spinning class at West Kirby Concourse. Mustn’t forget the mince pies too, I had one today on the ride and had a good time burning it off on the ride.
Next thing you know the hour is up, the cards get replenished in the waiting room and Andy and I are still talking in the car park.
As you can gather most of us know what is working for us at this stage, if we have a problem it is just a case of fine tuning things.
You are going to have problems if you are just relying on dieting alone. The negative energy balance that that you need to loose weight is based on you doing about 500 calories of exercise a day, this gives you a pound of weightloss a week.

I jumped on the Lidl scales when I got home and the readings were within 100 grams of each other. There is going to come a time when the readings you see on this site will be purely be off these scales so they need to be accurate.
