By: Graham Foster

Do you still have a bike in you garage which you haven't used for years? Well now it's summer there is no better way of losing those excess 10 pounds or so than getting out on your bike. This is why...

So your all set to lose some weight.Most of us do want to lose a few pounds at some point of our lives usually when we decide we had enough of feeling un-sexy and dowdy dressed in over sized clothes and sick of waking up feeling un healthy and lethargic every day. It's just that we know well feel so much better when we out wearing that swimsuit we brought a couple of years ago and can wear that sexy LBD that just used to drive your husband wild just a a few years ago.

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 many benefits to biking, but the main one is that it's really the only form of exercise that can also function as transportation. The biggest reason it's difficult for many people to lose weight is because they find it hard to find time for it into their already busy lifestyles.

Lets imagine for example you decided you would lose 10 pounds by signing up and going to the gym every day. This is of course a brilliant idea in theory at least but this is what usually happens.One day your running late from work so you just skip the gym (just this once) then another day it's raining and you forgot your umbrella so it seem silly to get wet going to the gym (just this once).. You get the idea?

After a while you keep missing and then gym seems like it's in the way of your regular life and can't be scheduled in no matter what.

Lets just suppose for a moment instead of gym membership you either got your old bike up to standard or went out and brought a flashy new one and you decide you are going to bike to work. Whilst it's probably going to take a few extra weeks to see results it won't screw up your schedule.

If you live in the city chances are it will only take you a few extra minutes compared with travelling by car or subway. So you get a full body work out for free and it fits in to your schedule just great.

Unlike almost every other form of exercise riding a bike has two benefits one is you get a great exercise but also you get to where you want to be.Now when you think of it that way it's hard to think of a reason why you shouldn't use a bike for exercise and of course not forgetting you save money and help the environment.

Amazingly just riding your bike to work and back every day you will quickly lose 10 pounds and it won't interfere with your daily routine. If it's not possible to use your bike for work why not use it for running errands. If you want to lose 10 pounds even quicker then why not try bike riding for fun may be with the family at weekends. You'll soon cover several miles and the weight will just drop of you.
