Three minutes into Pivoting, Ginnifer Goodwin's character, Jodie, announces she's "getting back in shape and seeing a trainer." Her friend just died, so she wants to start living her "best life." But she's paying cash for said trainer so her painfully dull husband, Dan (Robert Baker), doesn't find out.

It was my first time seeing Goodwin on screen since she starred in the 2011 rom-com Something Borrowed (which I admit, I've seen many times since then), and I must say, she looked great. So great that upon hearing her character say she wanted to get back in shape I thought, "EXCUSE ME?" and feared her words might lay the groundwork for a larger weight-related storyline. When Jodie's friend Sarah (Maggie Q) supportively chimed in to say, "You know the only weight you have to lose is Dan?" I breathed a sigh of relief. Unfortunately, my relief was short-lived.

The Fox single-camera comedy follows three longtime pals Jodie, Sarah, and Amy (Eliza Coupe) as they struggle to cope with the death of their best friend, Coleen. Each mourning her loss in different ways, they all set out to become new versions of themselves. Sarah abandons her career in medicine and starts working at a local grocery store. Amy tries to spend more time at home with her kids. And Jodie decides she wants to lose weight and have an affair with her hot trainer, Matt (JT Neal).

I had high hopes that Pivoting could help fill the Good Girls void in my life, especially since the cast including Amy's husband, Henry (Tommy Dewey), and Coleen's husband, Brian (Colton Dunn) are charming as hell. But its first season left me conflicted. The majority of Pivoting's antics are amusing, and its characters have a ton of potential. But the show is undermined by a careless and harmful weight-loss storyline.

Jodie's weight-loss storyline is primarily used as a means to explore her conflicted feelings about her marriage, but writers could have achieved their desired result an affair without establishing her unhealthy obsession with slimming down. If they felt the weight-loss storyline was necessary for Jodie's arc, they should have set out to better understand and portray the complexities of diet culture and eating disorders on screen. Rather than rise to the challenge, writers crafted a storyline ripe with offensive, over-the-top weight jokes that perpetuate fat-shaming.

The fact that weight loss came up three minutes into the series wasn't the only red flag in Pivoting's pilot. Later in the episode, Hot Trainer Matt asks Jodie if she's shed any pounds recently. She explains she's down a couple and is doing the intermittent fasting he recommended, to which he replies, "You're gonna be back in your skinny jeans before you know it. You're gonna look so freaking hot!"

His comment rudely implies that Jodie isn't already "so freaking hot" at her current weight, which she is, and it promotes a ridiculous, tired correlation between attractiveness and slim physiques.

Three episodes later, the flirty fitness sessions between Jodie and Matt culminate with a spontaneous kiss in his car. There's a clear spark between the two, but before you can fully appreciate it, Jodie frantically asks, "Can I lose eight more pounds first before we do more?" The two move in for another smooch, and Matt pulls away to utter one of the most egregious lines of the series: "Can we make it six pounds?"

Not only is this joke outrageously unfunny, it's also straight-up insulting and reduces a serious issue to a punchline. No matter how it's packaged, commentary related to eating disorders can be triggering and harmful to people. It can also perpetuate unhealthy ideas about weight loss and unhealthy relationships with food. A June 2020 report cited by the ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) predicts that 28.8 million Americans, or nine percent of the U.S. population, will have an eating disorder in their lifetime. It also notes that eating disorders are the cause of 10,200 deaths per year. If writers are going to craft characters who have fitness goals or set out to tell stories related to body image and disordered eating, it's crucial that they do so responsibly especially on a show with as much reach as Pivoting, which airs in a primetime slot on a major cable network and streams episodes on Hulu the following day.

It's clear that Pivoting's writers need to pay closer attention to, and in some cases change, the way the people in Jodie's life respond to her self-deprecating comments and obsession with weight. Not just Matt, but also her friends.

In the pilot, Jodie forces her legs into a pair of skinny jeans to impress Matt. When she can't get them off, she calls Amy and Sarah for backup, and they wind up taking her to the ER after accidentally puncturing her leg with a pair of scissors. It's meant to be a comical low point, but it's also a perfect opportunity for Jodie's friends to intervene and remind her that she doesn't need to lose weight or fit into a certain pair of pants for anyone that her worth, in fact, isn't related to what she weighs at all. They don't.

The lack of concern about Jodie's well-being especially from Sarah, who's dedicated her life to medicine is disappointing to say the least, though it's worth noting that Matt, Amy, and Sarah don't always reinforce Jodie's negative body image comments. Several episodes show them responding with positive, supportive affirmations, such as, "You're not bulky, you're beautiful" and "I think your body is amazing as is," but their support is inconsistent and their messages are mixed.

The way Pivoting's writers craft Jodie's behavior and mindset as it relates to weight loss is also of concern. In Episode 6, Jodie tries to speed-lose a pound to meet her goal weight so she can feel confident enough in her body to sleep with Matt. After her husband shows her a modicum of kindness, she feels guilty and wonders if cheating on him would be a mistake. Rather than have a mature conversation with her trainer (or anyone!) about those feelings, the writers chose to give her an exaggerated reaction. Jodie dumps a bunch of bread and chocolate into a large bowl and starts ravenously shoveling carbs into her mouth in hopes of quickly gaining weight back, so she won't have to sleep with her trainer just yet. We later see her eating a pizza by herself, and telling Amy, "I'm binging. Don't judge me." Amy ignores the comment and starts talking about herself.

In the cold open of the following episode, Jodie reveals she's gained four pounds in a week. Amy tells Jodie she's gorgeous, and Jodie replies, "Ugh, I was so close to my goal weight, I had a thigh gap and everything. And now my affair with Matt is put off till TBD. I can't even fit into the leggings I want him to rip off of me and throw across the room in reckless abandon."

Just when you thought the scene couldn't get any worse, Jodie says, "Ugh! I've gotta go. I wrote 'thigh gap' on my calendar."

Jodie, nooooooo!Credit: SCREENSHOT: PIVOTING / FOX

Perhaps the writers are trying to be edgy by striking a particular style of humor that gives off majorly fed-up Bad Moms vibes, but it comes across as more lazy than funny in regard to Jodie's storyline. The tone doesn't sit right with the conversations we're currently having about diet culture, which have moved far beyond what we see in this show. There's been such a promising push for body positivity and representation over the past few decades online, onscreen, and in the media and it's troubling to see an otherwise delightful show be dragged down by a reliance on offensive, outdated weight-related plot points.

It's understandable to react in uncharacteristic ways after a loss. But using a topic as delicate as diet culture and repeatedly enforcing the view that a thin woman needs to lose weight or, frankly, that any woman needs to lose weight! to get that message across is just wrong. If Jodie's desire to "get back in shape" does exist to emphasize a larger struggle with self-love or disordered eating, I hope writers stop brushing her struggles off with humor and ensure she gets the help and support she needs. If this storyline is truly nothing more than a byproduct of misguided writing, however, I'd urge the team to start giving Jodie more substantial storylines that focus on her crumbling marriage, her affair, motherhood, her desire for independence, or her unfulfilled career ambitions, rather than her weight.

Viewers got a glimpse of Jodie's storyline potential in the refreshing, genuinely enjoyable Season 1 finale. The episode showed Jodie and her husband finally having an honest conversation about their marital issues, and her and Matt hanging out without placing focus on her weight. I hope writers continue to strive for that sort of depth should Pivoting be renewed for a second season.

Jodie deserves better, and so do viewers.

The first season of Pivoting is currently streaming on Hulu.

Jodie's weight-loss storyline in 'Pivoting' is careless and harmful - Mashable

Some mornings you may wake up and feel like enjoying something lightlike Greek yogurt with berries, or a slice of toast with avocado. Other mornings you wake up ready to create the breakfast from your dreams: big, full to the brim, and filled with energy. Whatever mood you're in in the morning, why not start with a delicious meal that fuels the body and that can help you reach weight loss goals?

According to the Mayo Clinic, adults who eat a healthy breakfast have a greater chance at maintaining a healthy weight, have more controlled blood sugar levels, and even tend to perform better at work. There's no need to skip the first meal of the day, especially when it has so many great benefits to losing weight and keeping the weight off.

Julie Upton, MS, RD, CSSD, a registered dietitian and communications specialist for Appetite for Health, explains that a common weight-loss mistake of people who cook breakfast in the morning is trying to cut out certain foods or even whole food groups. This can "make their weight loss effort very unsatisfying and then they crave their favorite foods," or possibly backslide into bad eating habits.

One step you can take to avoid this mistake is to eat "protein-rich" breakfast foods, says Upton. A high-protein breakfast keeps steady blood sugar levels and helps the body absorb carbohydrates at a slower pace, which in turn can be a major factor in weight loss.

There are plenty of healthy breakfast options out there to not only keep your body content, but also nourished and ready for shedding off some of that extra weight. Luckily for us, Upton shared healthy breakfast recipes for all seven days of the week!

To continue helping you reach those weight loss goals, check out The #1 Best Juice to Drink Every Day, Says Science.

"Soy-based meat alternatives are all good options for breakfast," Upton explains. She makes an amazing egg and veggie scramble that includes: eggs, plant-based sausage, bell peppers, tomatoes, and any other veggies she enjoys or just has on-hand around the kitchen. If you're on a weight-loss journey, definitely keep your plate bright and full of veggies!

Vegetables are categorized by the CDC as low energy-dense foods, meaning they are low in calories but still impact the feeling of fullness. Many studies have seen vegetables have a great effect on fat loss. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that when their participants would increase their intake of fruit and vegetables, they were not only more likely to lose weight, but also maintain weight loss. The more veggies in one's diet, the greater chance of leaning out and/or retaining a smaller figure.

A breakfast burrito that is flavor-packed, healthy, and can help you reach weight-loss goals? Sign us up! Upton recommends her breakfast burrito recipes of two eggs and one egg white (or four egg whites total) scrambled with spinach, mushroom, chopped tomatoes, or salsa, all wrapped up in a small whole-grain tortilla.

This breakfast burrito has all the healthy nutrients you need: protein, veggies, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Upton says carbs aren't anything scary, in fact, she encourages "people to have some carbs for energy."

If you focus on getting in a lot more complex carbs, you can see much greater success in losing weight. The International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health explains that complex carbs are "derived from whole and unprocessed plant-based foods," which have more nutrients and will usually take longer for the body to digest compared to simple carbs. Not only do complex carbs have more nutritional valuelike fiber, vitamins, and mineralsbut they are also stored in either muscle cells or the liver to give you long-lasting energy until hunger strikes again.

For another breakfast burrito recipe, check out our recipe for a kickin' Fiber-Filled Breakfast Burrito.

A solid go-to for Upton is creating various combinations using Greek yogurt with a load of toppings. One is her Greek yogurt parfait, which starts with 8-ounces of non-fat plain Greek yogurt, one cup of fresh berries, and a 1/2 cup of quick-cooking oats. Combine layers of fruit, yogurt, and oats in a parfait glass or jar, and then top with two teaspoons of honey or agave.6254a4d1642c605c54bf1cab17d50f1e

Upton enjoys recommending this recipe specifically because it's "a great combo as the Greek yogurt is protein-rich and has no added sugar," both of which play a huge part in weight loss. Diets with a lower intake of dietary sugar have been seen to show significantly more weight loss than diets with no restriction, according to the BMJ.

Protein pancakes with Upton will have you never wanting to go back to basic pancake batter ever again. Her recipe uses one small ripe (overripe is better) banana, two eggs (or one egg and two egg whites), one tablespoon of nut butter, a pinch of cinnamon, and a drop of vanilla or almond extract (if desired).

"A good rule of thumb is to try to get 20 to 30 grams of protein at breakfast," Upton recommends.

Not only is protein very filling, but in terms of weight loss, it can benefit the body in different ways. The American Society for Nutrition found research that shows how a high-protein breakfast can foster healthy weight loss by strengthening and growing your muscle mass, giving your body more energy to be physical, and satisfying hunger hormones. In plain terms, protein will help build strong muscles that guide your body in burning more calories just by using energy doing everyday activities, while also keeping you full throughout the day.

And there's more where that came from, here's out our recipe for The Best Protein Pancakes Recipe.

The open-faced egg sandwich of Upton's choice includes two soft-boiled eggs served over a toasted whole-wheat light English muffin with arugula or spinach, sliced tomato, and two teaspoons of reduced-fat spread/light butter. All of this with a piece of fresh fruit on the side, and she says you'll really be ready to start your day off right.

Upton mentions that eggs can be one of the best foods for weight loss. Having eggs for breakfast can help soothe a frequent appetite and promote strong weight loss, according to one study published in Hormone Research and Paediatrics. The study saw how a high-protein content can be most effective for anyone trying to lose weight, due to the positive change in appetite hormones and regulating hunger satisfaction.

Instead of grabbing a plain bowl of cereal with milk, optimize your flavor pallet and contribute to your weight loss by reaching for more healthy foods. Upton recommends a bowl of cottage cheese with cereal and fruit, using 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese, 1/4 cup Grape-Nuts Fit cereal (which has six grams of protein in a 2/3 cup), and one cup of fresh berries.

Cottage cheese has a great source of low-calorie protein, according to Doctor Oz. Not only is cottage cheese perfect to throw into foods for an extra protein boost (such as pancakes, smoothies, salads, and more), but it also has a high source of calcium and B-complex vitamins.

Oats should be high on your list of foods to eat when trying to lose weight, according to the Harvard School of Public Health, because they have special antioxidants that are created by phenolic compounds and phytoestrogens (plant-based chemicals found in oats). These antioxidants act to reduce the effects of inflammation and calm digestion.

Upton suggests oatmeal with yogurt as a healthy weight-loss breakfast by including one cup of oatmeal with 1/2 cup non-fat or low-fat plain Greek yogurt, and one cup of fresh or frozen (no added sugar) berries right on top.

"I like oats due to their high concentration of beta-glucan, a soluble fiber that helps keep you satisfied and stabilize blood sugar levels," she says.

A new drug which can dramatically reduce body weight has been approved by the European Medicines Agency (EMA)for use in Ireland and across Europe.

The drug, known as Wegovy, is delivered by weekly injection and is used together with diet and physical activity to help people to lose weight and keep their weight under control.

Studies have found that Wegovy can lead to weight loss of around 20 per cent of body fat in one year.

Dr. Conor O'Shea, the HSE's clinical lead on obesity, has said that the approval of the drug for use in Ireland is "exciting".

Obesity affects more than one million people in Ireland and is the main cause of type 2 diabetes, which accounts for over 10 per cent of the country's healthcare budget.

Although the new drug is expensive, it is believed that its use will save the health service money in the long run.

"Certainly of the order of several hundred Euros per month," Dr O'Shea told Newstalk.

"We need it to be covered by the HSE for people who will benefit from it because this medication will strop you from developing some of the complications of obesity like type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.

"So ultimately that is going to be very cost-effective."

According to Dr O'Shea, although the drug has been used to treat diabetes for over a decade and is safe, it will not be the right treatment for everyone.

"What we need to do is use it in the right individuals so, those who have obesity and complications from their obesity because there is lots of people who are either over weight or have obesity and don't have any health complications," Dr O'Shea explained.

"They are not the people who will need this treatment."

Her Story: I am a little plump and I dont like what I see in the mirror. Every time I try to follow an extreme diet or join a fitness class, my husband gets really agitated. I have seen how he adoringly looks at women who dress up well and wear shorts or tank tops. That makes me feel even more insecure about my body. But he makes it a big issue when I try to follow a specific diet or book up for workout classes; he argues that he does not want me to lose weight and that he does not care whether I fit in those dresses and shorts or not. I dont know how to make him understand my point.His Story: My wife is beautiful and I love the way she is. She has become way too conscious about her weight but she is obsessed with becoming wafer thin just to wear some dresses and crop tops. Yet, she has developed a huge complex and we fight over this a lot. How do I explain it to her that I dont and neither should she care about her body shape?Expert advice by Jigyasa Uniyal, Love coach: You shouldn't be worried if your husband is accepting you the way you are. This shows that he is your soulmate in a true sense. You should lose weight to be healthier and not to look more appealing to people around you. The ones who truly love you and care for you will accept you irrespective of your dress size. To lose weight you should do exercises and diets under the supervision of the experts.

His story/Her story: My husband doesn't want me to lose weight - Times of India

Heres something you may not know obesity is considered a chronic disease. Meaning a person may not be able to control the fact they are overweight, just as much as someone cant control they have diabetes.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, roughly 40 percent of Americans are considered obese and we see many of them turning to a bariatric medicine specialist or surgeon for help.

The weight loss journey process before surgery can take anywhere from four to six months. The reason for this is to make sure that a person is safe for surgery. If there are any underlying diseases, such as sleep apnea or high blood pressure, we want to resolve those issues first. As a bariatric surgeon, I work closely with patients to also implement appropriate exercise, healthy eating and modify behaviors contributing to weight gain before surgery comes into play. Making these lifestyle changes prior to surgery means their surgery outcome is often better.

There are several types of weight loss procedures. Choosing the right one is really based on the patients condition.

Here are two of the most common weight loss procedures:

These surgeries are designed to help a person lose weight, but its important to understand that the surgery is about getting a person to a healthier place and getting rid of, or preventing, any medical issues related to obesity. Understanding this concept is important because losing weight is about so much more than just the physical change a person goes through.

If a patient does not want to go through surgery, they can also see a bariatric medicine specialist who will help them in their weight loss journey through medication. We also use this option for surgery patients who are high risk for surgery in order to help them lose weight before having a procedure done.

To anyone who is struggling with their weight, please know that that this is not your fault. There are options available to help people get to a healthier place in their lives. The weight loss journey takes time, but through the proper education, lifestyle changes and medical guidance, it can have tremendous benefits.

Getting on the scales and gaining weight had become a usual occurrence for Jaimi Conwell.

The 28-year-old had been trying to lose weight for years, but to no avail.

She tried keto and other low calorie diets before visiting her doctor in March 2021.

It was then that she found out the true reason she couldn't lose weight - a 20lb tumour with hair and teeth growing in her ovary.

Jaimi, who lives in Texas, US said she had started to gain weight rapidly in the two years before the tumour was discovered.

After experiencing nausea when she bent over to tie her shoes, she put it down to her weight, which at the time was close to 18st.

She went to her doctor who took her bloods, and it was discovered her white blood cells were abnormal.

"I was placed under anaesthesia, but was with my mum who I made a proxy so she could make any decisions for me.

The doctor came in and told her I had a massive tumour in my abdomen that had engulfed my right ovary.

He asked if they could remove it and my mum agreed, so I had the tumour along with my right ovary removed."

After waking up, her mum told her about the tumour and said the doctors were unsure whether or not it was benign.

I was in so much shock, that I cant remember how I was thinking or feeling at the time.

At one point though, I remember thinking: Am I going to die? Did I even live the life I wanted to?", she said.

Jaimi decided to have her right ovary removed as tests showed the tumour was dangerous.

She was diagnosed with a teratoma tumour a slow-growing tumour that had been growing her entire life.

As the tumour weighed 20lbs, it is believed that it overtook all the nutrients she was giving her body in order to grow.

What is a teratoma tumour

Teratomas have been the subject of intense fascination among scientists because of their sometimes strange qualities - some have been reported to contain hair, teeth, bone and, very rarely, more complex organs such as eyeballs.

Thoughts about the origin of these tumours have attracted much debate.

"Teratoma" comes from the Greek word "teraton," meaning "monster". Theyare seen most commonly in children and young adults.

Teratomas are made up of tissue from all three germ layers - mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm - that occur during the formation of an embryo.

Although teratomas can occur during embryonic development, most arise much later in life.

Teratomas occur most often in the midline of the brain, therefore often obstructing and putting pressure on critical areas of the brain. This can lead to loss of basic functions, but this loss can be temporary -- until the tumor is removed or reduced in size.

Teratomas are commonly very solid and rubbery making them resistant to dissection with standard instruments.

She said it was like 'having three kids inside you'.

"It was also growing teeth, which was an absolute shock.

It also grew hair and I think that was more disgusting for me than anything.

They said it could be due to a number of things and as my mum, grandfather and aunties are twins, maybe I had a twin in my mum's womb.

At first, I thought that [having my right ovary removed] meant that I couldnt have kids and I was devastated. All I have ever wanted was to have kids and start a big family.

I was so depressed and crying all the time, until I saw my OBGYN [Obstetrics and gynaecology] who assured me that all my hormones and eggs will go to my left ovary."

Now that the tumour has been removed, Jaimi has returned to her diet and fitness regime which includes healthy eating and exercise.

She has since lost 7st 5lbs and now weighs 10st 7lbs.

Jaimi has documented her journey on social media.

When you sit down to eat, make that connection between your gut and your brain

Losing weight has become a serious preoccupation with many people. They are so obsessed with cutting the flab that they often consult nutritionists to know how many rotis or what amount of paneer or chicken they should eat during a meal. To answer questions related to weight loss, nutritionist Pooja Malhotra has shared an update on her Instagram account. She says our body gives us signals and we need to pay attention to them. One of the signals it gives us is the feeling of fullness after a meal.

But how do you identify these signals that our body sends to our brain? Pooja Malhotra said that identifying these signals is fairly simple. The first and most important thing to do during a weight loss journey is to put the gadgets, including the mobile phone, away.

Also when you sit down to eat, make that connection between your gut and your brain. Eat mindfully and chew slowly, so that you give your body the time to process what's happening and give you that fullness signal, she added in an Instagram video titled, The secret to weight loss.

The nutritionist also shared a pro-tip: never eat 200 percent of your perceived capacity. Sometimes it happens. We tend to eat a delicious and mouth-watering meal more than we need or could digest and then we start feeling uncomfortable.

Pooja Malhotra regularly shares tips on how to improve our overall health by identifying what our body needs and how to eat the right food. She recently shared tips to control sugar cravings, a major factor in controlling weight gain.

Her measures included: increasing intake of water, using distraction as a tool, and choosing foods that are naturally sweet over those that are made by adding refined sugar.

Indoor cycling is a great way to lose weight and get in shape. However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind if you want to make the most of your workout and see results. Here are some tips on how to indoor cycle for weight loss.

If you want to see results from your indoor cycling workout, you need to pedal at a high intensity. This means going all-out and riding as fast as you can. You should be breathing hard, and your heart rate should be up.

If you cant keep up the pace for the entire workout, try to increase it gradually as you get more fit. As mentioned by the people at My Fitness System, you need to measure your heart rate and intensity during your workout. By cycling at a high intensity, youll burn more calories and see results faster.

This is the most effective way to use indoor cycling for weight loss. Its better to go hard and have a shorter, more intense workout than it is to go easy and have a longer, less intense one.

One of the best things about indoor cycling is that you can easily vary your intensity. This means that you can go hard for a few minutes, then slow down and recover, then go hard again. This keeps your body guessing and helps you to burn more calories.

You also dont need to do an hour-long workout to see results. A shorter, high-intensity workout is just as effective. To keep your intensity varied, try changing the resistance on your bike or increasing or decreasing the speed of your pedals.

By changing up your intensity, youll make your workout more interesting and help you to lose weight faster. Its also a great way to avoid boredom and plateauing.

Strength training is an important part of any weight loss program. It helps to tone your body and burn more calories. While you can do strength training at home, its a good idea to do it in conjunction with your indoor cycling workout. This will help you to see results faster.

Try doing some bodyweight exercises or using resistance bands during your cycling workout. This will help you to burn more calories and tone your body. By adding strength training to your indoor cycling routine, youll see a noticeable difference in your physique.

Its important to make sure that youre not overdoing it, though. Strength training should be done in moderation to avoid injury.

Water is essential for weight loss. You need to drink plenty of water to help your body burn fat and lose weight. When youre working out, you should be drinking even more water than usual. Dehydration can lead to fatigue and slowed weight loss.

In order to lose weight, you need to eat a healthy diet. This means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables and avoiding processed foods. When youre trying to lose weight, its important to make sure that youre not eating too many calories.

Try to make healthy choices when youre eating and avoid overeating. Eating a healthy diet will help you to lose weight and keep it off. This is another important part of using indoor cycling for weight loss. By eating healthy foods, youll be able to see better results from your workouts.

A heart rate monitor is a valuable tool for any weight loss program. It helps you to measure your intensity during your workouts and make sure youre working hard enough to see results. Its also a good way to monitor your progress over time.

If youre not seeing the results you want, you can increase your intensity or change up your workouts. You can buy a heart rate monitor at most sporting goods stores. This is a great way to measure your progress and ensure that youre doing everything you can to lose weight.

By using a heart rate monitor, youll be able to see better results from your indoor cycling workouts. Its an important tool to have in your weight loss arsenal.

Indoor cycling is a great way to lose weight. By following the tips above, you can make sure that youre doing it the right way and seeing the best results.
