exercise bikes target australia image
Tegan M
Female, 5'2, wanted for off road and road use (around the Blue Mountains in Sydney). What type of bike should I buy and what is available for around $300??
Answer
For the previous poster the bikes that you listed cost a lot more in Australia, the cheapest Specialized Hardrock is $600 and the Trek 820 is $500.
$300 won't get you much brand new, so don't expect too much, good quality second hand bikes can be found for that price but can take a while to to find the right one. Buy a hardtail mountain bike, they can have either suspension or rigid forks. Don't buy a full suspension bike as any bike that's less than a $1000 probably isn't worth buying.
For any off road riding the 'mens' style bike frame would be stronger than the 'womens' style step through bike frame. Don't buy an el cheapo bike from Kmart/Target/BigW as they aren't the best of quality.
Here's one for $299 that looks like it would be suitable for you, it's available in a 15" frame which would probably be about the right size for you :

What is a suitable diet and exercise program for a 14 year old girl who isnt allowed diet pills?
Q. My mum and I went on a giant shopping spree yesterday for my birthday (In April) I dont get the clothes until April but I want to lose a few extra kilos so I feel confident in the clothes. In Australia we are going through a heatwave so it has to be exercise that can be done inside. I have a few aerobics DVDs and an exercise bike, but I just need a program and some tips on how to make it so that I can lose extra, maybe I should just throw up my food?
Answer
i don't think throwing up your food is a very good idea. I do recommend however using those Cd's and a trick of my dad's. He takes a deck of cards (one pack for each exercise, or one for all) and picks an exercise for it, like crunches, push ups, some stretches (which you should do before any exercise) and any other one you can think of. He takes one card everyday and does that number of exercises. Meaning if I grabbed a 5, I would do 5 um... curl ups for the day. Then another card, 8, and do 8 different stretches! For faster results try taking 10 cards per. day, it works for me. and always, once again don't forget to stretch before any exercises.OK? Now that's just exercise, it's about food now. my main target is towards fruit for beginners. I love eating apples (if I can get my hands on them!). It really helps to watch what you eat so next time your about to stuff a twinky in your mouth, think. I really hope this will help. Good Luck! (:
