We know that lack of sleep may lead to feeling groggy, sleepiness, and irritability. But did you know that it may cause you to gain weight or prevent losing weight as well?
Whether it’s family obligations, work or school deadlines, stress or just plain insomnia, you might not be getting the right amount of sleep to lose weight. If you get 5.5-6 hours of sleep a night or less you’re what researchers call a “Short Sleeper”.

AMAZING! The new virtual reality spinning bikes offer best cardio workout I’ve had in awhile. The bike is similar to your typical cycling bike but the twist is that there is a screen in front of you! Start with level 1 and work your way up through the levels (similar to a video game). You have to pedal fast, go up hills and turn your body to go around corners. You can’t stop unless you want to have lackluster results and get “lapped” by your opponents. Similar to the good old Mario Kart days, this new form of cardio is great for gamers, anyone with a competitive streak and for anyone who needs to step up their game!
Tips:
- Remember to breathe. I was so excited that my breathing took a back seat and I began to feel sick (out of breath)
- Try it for the first time when you are alone in the gym (ha ha). It takes a few runs to get used to how the bike works and I was laughing out loud at my first attempt. I would have been embarrassed if others were witnessing my epic fail.
- Start with level 1. Some programs let you bypass the lower levels. If you think your “too cool” for level 1 , use it as a warm up.
- Drink water. Even though the program don’t give water breaks, grab some between levels or when you need it!
- Avoid sound effects. Although you may feel like Lance Armstrong – be respectful of your fellow gym goers
