At 5 am I was up today to drive an hour for what I thought was a 25 mile bike ride. I was feeling good, and that soon became a 40 mile ride. After, I checked my HRM and I had burned about 2000 calories. It got me thinking about the lack of or overuse of calories in peoples diets who are in training. I have a great formula that will hopefully shed some light on the subject. "Training is tough, nutrition shouldn't be" www.t2nutrition.com

I have been having a lot of trouble with weight loss in my base training phase, which seems odd to me. I was hoping that maybe some of you could shed some light on my situation. I am 5’10 and 165 lbs. I wear a size 8 pants, size 6 in a skirt or dress. I played college athletics and have always been in good shape.

Anyone uses suspension exercises for strength. Rings, USA, TRX, junggle gym etc. Here is an idea of what I mean. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=4EfqAmpL2Yk&eurl=http://www.bwculture.net/
