As for jogging, I don't do it often as I have a really bad ankle. Mainly just intervals more than anything. But yes, I need to watch myself. Just because I'm fit enough, doesn't mean I'm light enough! I have found cycling is a great work out for me without the impact, heart rate is up my entire route (as it's mostly uphill) so I really feel it. But I'm no where near as puffed and my legs can handle it pretty well now which is an amazing feeling! 
I'm still so blind sided sometimes to how fit I actually am until I try something and wonder why I'm not absolutely dying  Not to say I'm super fit but I've come a long way in the past six months!
Will try to spice things up from here on out, shock the body even more into giving up those stubborn kg's  |
Anything out of your comfort zone is good for you without over doing it. Outdoors cycling is also great. When the weather warms up, get out there for an hour early mornings before the day heat.
