That's terrific Jason 🙂 Getting regular exercise will help make you more sensitive to insulin so it will really help with your blood sugar levels as well as helping tone you up and lose weight. Exercise bikes can be good, but can get a bit boring too! If you are going to get any gym equipment then make sure you get quality - don't just go for the cheapest. Rowing machines are excellent as they give a full body strength and aerobic workout, but generally cost more and take up more space. A bike will only exercise your legs, although it will also improve aerobic capacity 🙂
 
thanks keeping it off is not easy especially with a bit of a sweet tooth !:(
a rowing machine sounds a better idea thanks very much for the advice ,just one more thing i'm not sure how to join the weight loss group ?

many thanks all my best Jason

Just join in with the weight loss group wherever you fancy Jason! If you'd like you can start posting your weekly weight losses in the 'Total Group Loss' thread. 🙂

Re: weight loss group. I think you've just done it!

I've got a waterrower (expensive, but I like it!). It provides a rowing experience a bit more akin to the real thing apparently. It's also a smoother row than the air controlled machines. Also, it's a lot easier to store away because it stands on its end.

Andy 🙂
 
thanks

best regards Jason🙂
