Want to almost accidently lose 10 pounds in weight whilst havng fun in to the bargain.Then why not drag that old bike from out of the basement or garage and get out in the sunshine on a bike ride.Here's why it's so effective...

So your now feel ready to lose weight. All of us do at some point and losing weight is a great way to both look sexier and feel fitter and healthier. Not only that, but you'll feel better about yourself when you can slip in to that sexy new dress or tight pair of pants and on top of that you'll have more confidence than you have had for years.

A good starting point is to aim to lose 10 pounds when starting a weight loss program. For most people this should be an attainable goal within just a few weeks which if you need to lose more weight will motivate you to carry on. To be fair to yourself and your body don't try a crash diet trying to lose 10 pounds in 2 or 3 days it will just make you feel ill.

So you are probably thinking of getting started? Almost without exception people when deciding to lose weight have visions of eating like a rabbit for days and then exercising like a marine recruit afterwards at the gym. But this is not how it has to be.

If you're looking to lose 10 pounds while still having fun and getting some fresh air, look instead to what was probably one of your favorite childhood activities: bicycling.

There are lots of reasons to go bike riding but maybe the main one is something you would just take for granted that is a bike is a method of transport. This important because the biggest single reason people fail at losing weight is they can't plan their exercise routines in to their already busy lifestyle.

For example, let's say your plan is to lose 10 pounds by getting a gym membership and going a few times a week.While this may be great idea at first, and I commend you for it, soon there's a good chance that it's going to start interfering with other commitments: one day you have to stay late at the office so you skip gym; one day you have to pick up your daughter from after school club so you skip again.

In a few weeks you find going to the gym is just impossible to schedule with all your other commitments so you decide it's not really worth all the bother.

Now lets imagine instead of joining a gym to lose 10 pounds you have either got your old bike out of the basement or invested in a nice shiny new one you decide to bike to work. While it may take a little longer to lose the weight, by biking to work you're really losing weight using no extra time at all.

If you live in a city there's a good chance that it's not going to take you a whole lot longer than a car trip does. So basically you get to lose 10 pounds "for free", as it were, because you don't have to make time for exercise.

When you engage in most other forms of exercise, you're engaging in it exclusively: you're not getting anything else done when you're at the gym. With biking, on the other hand, the exercise is almost a secondary bonus to the primary function of getting somewhere you need to go. Add to this the fact that you're saving money on transportation and doing good for the environment, it's hard to argue against biking as one of the best forms of exercise.

Just by biking to and back from work each day you will lose 10 pounds pretty quickly and it won't interupt your schedule that much. If it is to far to ride a bike to work consider it for doing errands such as going to the store when not working. If you really want to lose 10 pounds pretty quickly try bike riding for fun as well at weekends . A few miles a day will work wonders.
