Help, I'm Addicted to Cycling!
(and maybe Carbs, Miles, and Beer too!)

Do Everyday Cyclists have "addictive personalities"? Maybe. If you're an Everyday Cyclist like most of us, then you know there are times when you get "stuck" with an old pattern, habit or obstacle that gets in your way from more energy, progress, and happiness on the bike (and off).

Yes, even cycling itself is an addiction and although a healthy one, it can sometimes get in the way of better cycling. Ironic, isn't it? Today, I'd like to share a few Everyday Cyclist Addictions that maybe you can relate to and hopefully learn from. We're all together in this, my friend. Listen and ride with a smile...

Play Everyday Cyclist Podcast:

Ah, the mileage prison as we like to call it here in Cyclo-CLUB. If you are an Everyday Cyclist stuck thinking that you always have to be riding to be improving or controlling your weight or to satisfy your ego--you're not alone my friend. Give us a week, and let us help you re-define the quality of your miles.

SUGGESTED MODULE: Cyclo-CLUB's Get Faster in 7-Days

ACCESS: Available to all Cyclo-CLUB Members, 24/7.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: A simple set of low volume techniques, workouts, and drills to help you increase your speed 1-2 mph in 7-days. More importantly, a re-thinking of the mileage prison and how to interlace new techniques to improve quality, not quantity.

Help, I'm addicted to Carbs and Sugar!

This addiction and obstacle is very prevalent in cycling. I know, I have had this problem several times myself. Refer to the podcast for more info and suggestions. But, in a nut-shell if you're struggling with hunger control, lack of energy and dropping body-fat, we suggest...

SUGGESTED MODULE: Cyclo-CLUB's 7-Day Fat-Loss BOOTCAMP

ACCESS: Available to all Cyclo-CLUB Members, 24/7.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: A simple training and nutrition system to follow on a progressive seven days to help your body cleanse itself of unwanted "junk" and stimulate body-fat loss and metabolism boost that typically yields about 3-7 pounds lost (or more). NOTE: You only want to use this powerful technique every 4-5 weeks at most for best results. Refer to Cyclo-FUEL for long term techniques to continue to improve.

Help, I'm addicted to Beer (or junk foods)!

OK, I admit it. I love beer. Kinda like people love Coke or some other crap that should really not be put in their body that will always hold them up. If you have something in your diet that is consistent, like chips, soda, cafe late's, and the like--when you begin to segment them out, you will see noticeable change.

SUGGESTED MODULE: Cyclo-CLUB's 7-Day Fat-Loss BOOTCAMP

ACCESS: Available to all Cyclo-CLUB Members, 24/7.

EXPECTED OUTCOME: Yes, the 7DFLB is still the recommendation here, even if you do not have weight to lose. The reason is the BOOTCAMP is more than a stimulus to burn body-fat, but more of a catharsis. A simple to follow protocol to GET THE JUNK OUT!
