I want to ride my bicycle...

 Lockdown can be hard. It can be very hard. In fact, sometimes it suppresses the urge to do any physical activities! However, we all know that physical exercise (walking, jogging, biking, hiking etc) helps our happy hormones burst into our system and make us feel a whole lot better.

I wanted to try something new. Well, I suppose it is kind of a new. It's a sport I haven't done for years! (and I mean YEARS!!)

Biking. One of my friends offers to loan her bike to me during lockdown. I've been carrying an injury since I fell on the Tennis Court in March and it hasn't fully recovered and now I find running rather challenges. Biking is an exercise that can be softer on the knees and that is exactly what is needed.

Here are the two bike rides I have done so far. I also wore my heartrate monitor to see which "zones" I have been working in. Being in the yellow zone makes me happy because I know I have been working out.

I would love to see your fitness activities shared on your Blog.


 




Food Glorious Food

 If you know me...I love food! If you don't know me...I love food!

Check out my lockdown creations so far. I use my own recipes and often "add things" while I'm cooking. I love spicy Mexican food. What is your favourite cuisine and why?

I hope this gives you some inspiration to get into the kitchen and cook up something delicious.
