I recently took up cycling, specifically mountain biking and over the last few weeks I’ve been given a few tips and also had to seek out advice on how to set up the bike correctly so as to get the most efficient power from the legs and also reduce the amount of strain on other muscle groups. The following advice has been drawn from a couple of websites and from more experienced riders I’ve spoken to.

In my quest to lose a few pounds and generally watch what I eat, I have stumbled across a few apps / websites that help you track your intake. The Apple App Store has several calorie trackers and I’ve tried a few of them in the past. Myfitnesspal is my current favourite.

The site is undergoing some changes and the new site is in beta, it’s not fair to give it a bad review. It’s much improved from the original site but until all the links are made live and point to the right places, I’ll reserve judgement.
