Avg heart rate is about 70% except for interval work. Just a quick question, why such a large calorie deficit? Aren't you feeling tired/lethargic at all? The general rule of thumb that I've heard is to not go more than 1000 cal deficit. Obviously its working for you though, just curious how it's affecting you other than weight loss?

I actually have more energy now but i was tired and very sore to the first 2 weeks.I am eating 6 small meals a day and have some dried fruit on the bike.

Cool, thanks for your feedback. It seems the multiple smaller meals throughout the day do the trick for a lot of people.

To burn 1800 Calories in 90 minutes almost impossible in the gym and you need to be very fit to actually achieve this. Nope fairly straight forward - 1000 - 1200 for an hour on the bike and 20 min on stair machine for the balance

I do 2X cardio on Tuesday and Thursday.Run or cycle in the morning and then swim in the afternoon,with weights.I do gym Monday to Friday but that includes 2x Krav Maga sessions.Sunday is a rest day.
