KnobbyMech Posted June 1, 2011 Share I am married. Getting to bed is not the problem. Going to sleep is. Interesting. Most guys have that problem only when they are batchelors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Potter Posted June 1, 2011 Share This works for me: I set your Alarm for 05h00 in the morning, When it goes off shut it the hell up, Knowing that my training rids are in the afternoon, Pull the blankets over your head and sleep again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purnjap Posted June 1, 2011 Share I am liking this thread, so much honesty And it makes me feel better about being sick and not being able to ride a tricycle without my nose running... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 1, 2011 Share Just move to KZN , this morning was a VERY COLD morning and we just got to single digits - 9 degrees when I got up, we still ride at 4.15 AM no sweat ! Arm warmers and long gloves only - not long leggings needed - The more hardcore guys still dont wear gloves Ja, bro - those KZN winters are non existent. My ballies suit up when it drops below 20. "it's coooold!" they tjoon. Nought, bru. Move to slaaaaapstad of JHB. THEN you'll be cold in the mornings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife trains in the morning, I train during the day (lunchtime) or in the afternoons after work. I love my sleep. Also cools my head off after a long day at the office.

Scooterza Posted June 1, 2011 Share I have my heater on a timer switch so it turns on about 30min before I wake up. It makes getting out of bed a bit easier. Hmmm - tried that but had the heater set high and it obviously pulled too much juice for the timer plug to handle and it melted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 1, 2011 Share I picked up a bottle of Bushmill's for that yesterday. mmmmmm.... now that's the way to do it! Mulled wine also works wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted June 1, 2011 Share Hmmm - tried that but had the heater set high and it obviously pulled too much juice for the timer plug to handle and it melted! Well you need to get over the heater thread and find the one that does not melt timer plugs Which timer did you get, so I dont get the same?

Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted June 1, 2011 Share Hmmm - tried that but had the heater set high and it obviously pulled too much juice for the timer plug to handle and it melted! The trick is to point the heater AWAY from the plug. I think you'll find it MUCH more efficient that way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eitan Posted June 1, 2011 Share I get motivated by the possibility of burning some extra fat when it's cold. Check out this study, gets very technical, but the basics are that cold exposure combined with exercise can be a great tool for fat loss. I'm giving it a try and will see if it works. http://www.freezeawayfat.com/science_behind_cool_shapes/Fat%20Loss%20in%20the%20Cold.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HR goes up due to the need to circulate the blood faster, and that helps keep core temp up. But yeah, you do work harder in the cold, even though your breathing would be more efficient due to the change in the density of the air when it's cold.
