I don’t really know why - perhaps its because I’m a bit of a cheapskate and don’t like paying too much for something. I’m talking about things like marathons, half […]

I just spent 40 minutes on a stationary bike. I cycled about 12.2 km in that time - so I wasn’t really pushing myself. Actually, I alternated between talking to a friend and reading a magazine. So it was rather laidback. However, it still burns calories! And I was aching when I got off! I […]
