Hi all,
I'm just thinking of starting a bike exercise program. I went out briefly today and my muscles are still a little shaky still after not too long of riding. Do you think this will improve? What are your experiences?
Thanks for your input!

i lift weights, and unfortunately since i have a tremor against gravity, its kind of always there when i work out.

it can be embarrassing, because it makes me look like im struggling after like 2 reps, but it's just because i shake, so i'm not sure if yours will ever get better

i say you should still bike ride though!

Oh yes, this is a beautiful post. I do think things improve. It could be difficult but each time we make any stride, the cells in our muscles and our brains remember and it helps us achieve that same place again. The secret is to push a little farther each time. It's what I do and it does help so much. Getting stronger is always a good thing. You won't regret it .... don't forget that you can overdo it and may feel wiped out but you will pace yourself as you go, just push a little more and I think you'll enjoy the achievements along the way.

Thanks everyone for your support! I think I will go ahead and start biking. I will start out slowly. Hopefully everything will improve :-)
