Exercise bike bargain
Yesterday while browsing Gum Tree I found an exercise bike just around the corner from where I live. We popped round, had a look and promptly paid the lady the £15 that she was asking. It's an absolute bargain and will help build some strength in my leg muscles. I am staggered at how much muscle strength I have lost since being unable to do the long walks. At the moment I can barely manage ten minutes of cycling but will build up slowly. I think that if I try and do ten minutes several times a day I will feel the benefit quite soon and can then add a bit longer to each session.... unless someone tells me differently.

Excellent bargain :-) Yes - I am sure you will be cycling the Tour de France in no time if you stick with it :-D x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great deal.
ReplyDeleteI can see that you are the kind of person for whom this expression was coined: Where there's a will, there's a way. Good for you.
Hi Cherie, My legs were the same way before the surgery. It's part of the progression of the arthritis. You will be able to rebuild your thighs after your hips heal. Mine are back to normal now. I wasn't able to bike before the surgery because the grinding of the bones was too painful. If you work on strengthening your abs and arms, it will help you to use the trapeze bar when you are in the hospital. Take care.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a bargain.
