Look what came in the mail...I've decided to take my weight loss up a notch but also to do it my way.. I've always loved cycling, so much so that it doesn't feel like work. Plus ...
1. The bike can be folded away so it doesn't take up room. (It weighs only 15kg so I can move it myself).
2. It runs on batteries.
3. It has a heart rate and calories burned monitor.
4. (Most importantly) it was easy to set up. I didn't need any help or tools. Everything was in the box.
Another reason for the bike is serotonins. Various studies have repeatedly shown elevated serotonin and endorphin levels in test subjects after exercise. Serotonin and endorphins are "happy hormones". So basically, regular exercise makes you a happier person.
I also read somewhere that exercise makes the body produce oxytocin (implicated in the falling-in-love sensation) although I do not know how true this is.
Anyway.
This baby is going to keep me fit and happy. Hehe! Oh by the way, did I mention that I've lost 2kg already? Yay me!!
It's the weekend (phew!). Something I didn't realise till about an hour ago. Labs are fun and all.. But I still love my free weekends. Also a little bird (my brother) told me that there's a new Naruto episode out. One in which he fights reanimated Itachi. I HAVE to see this!
Have a good weekend.
Juicy Raindrops!!
