First week of cycling

Well, that's the first week over. I'm glad I opted for the home-based rather than gym-based equipment, even though it's hardly comparable; it's just a bike. Still, finding the motivation to use it isn't hard; especially when compared with the option of venturing out into whatever weather Edinburgh is being treated to at the time.

The bike has 8 levels of magnetic resistance, with 1 being the lowest and 8 the highest. Not wanting to overdo things initially (mindful of my completely unfit starting point) I began at 10 minutes per day on level 1. This increased to 25 mins at level 3 by the end of the week. No doubt this will continue to increase, although at level 8 I can barely move the pedals, so that seems a long way off.
