Hello Polliwog- - -I started with IDC and loved how I felt after class. I bought my bike at the end of March and I don’t know why I didn’t start earlier. I have about 50 lbs to lose but I don’t weigh myself on a regular basis - I have gone down two dress sizes and my body image has improved greatly! I feel stronger and healthier!

As far as training program (this is what I do). . . .I spin 3X’s a week, lift 2X’s, and I am on my bike 4X’s a week. I started out at 6.5 miles up’d to 10.4 and now I am at 26 and I am ready to add some more miles next week.

No advice for rolling hills as I have not yet found any in my area. . . but there is so much information and knowledge here. . . .

Best of luck with your training! You will do great!
