Pedal power


If you want to get fit and toned, you don't necessarily have to force yourself to go to the gym every day. Here at Fitbitch, we're big believers in fitness being fun - if you like it, you're more likely to stick at it. It's something that Elle MacPherson, Jennifer Aniston and Sheryl Crowe have all taken to heart by investing in a bike.
Not only is cycling great for fat loss, helping to burn up to 500 calories an hour just cycling at a moderate pace, they also help shape and tone and the bum, legs and activate the core muscles.
If you're not sure what kind of bike to buy - or whether cycling is even for you - go along to one of Evans Cycles Ride It! events (www.evanscyles.com). They're only £10 and you can book into an off road or road cycle, as well as pre-book a bike to try out.
