Mini Challenge Results

Start Off Slow and Steady

Guidelines
Although the challenge is to ride 30 Miles a week, don't speed while you ride, take your time, and enjoy yourself as well. (30 miles can be divided into 6 days, for 5 miles a day or if you want to ride everyday, it would be 4.285 miles a day.)

Mini Challenge Results

Make Sure To Drink!!

Guidelines
Since this bike riding will be somewhat of a long distance ride, you must make sure to bring water a long, since you sweat off most of the water in your body while doing exercise, Buy yourself a steel water bottle where it keeps your water cold, and drink a little bit every so often. Fainting is NOT allowed :D. (and if it remains hot, like it would in Florida, or some other states, drinking water is very essential)

Pee Before You Go!!

Guidelines
Because you will be drinking on your journey to where ever your five miles take you, you may need to go to the bathroom, and a break will slow your heartbeat, and thus perhaps make you need to start over, because you burn less calories when your heart rate is slow.

Don't Forget Calisthenics

Guidelines
I believe that's how you spell it :/ but anyway, Biking is very good for your legs, arms, and breaking a good sweat, but don't forget that other parts of your body need to be taken care of as well. Every other day, do a set of pushups, situps, stretches, and if you can think of any other kind of good calisthenics, feel free to write it in this challenge's topic area. Just make sure to do calisthenics every other day.

Keep A Diary

Guidelines
If you're one to eat a lot, or a little, or drink a lot, or a little, WRITE IT DOWN, it doesn't matter what it is, or how little or much it is, but it's important for you to understand how the food you eat affects your body, and your digestive system. Also, keep track of how your bike riding goes, how you feel, before and after, and if it was easy on you, or hard. etc.

If You Have a Question, Ask!

Guidelines
just as it sounds, if it's not me to ask, then ask a doctor (If your knees start hurting, or etc.) But don't let something go, if you are unsure of what to do about it.
