Used My New Exercise Bike
Rehap said that if we are going to keep mobile going into our remaining years we are going to have to exercise aeorbic at least 30 min. a day 5 days a week. They suggested using a bike and walking so it isn't so boring and uses different muscles. Rehab also suggested that I join a health club or a community center. I know myself well enough to know that I would not do this on a regular basis. I would be committed for about a week and then start finding excuses not to go and would quit going quickly. I did go to a community center and it was really nice but $48 a month. So I went to Walmart and bought me an exercise bike for $88 bucks and it works great. I wanted one that exercises the arms also and this one does, it's great. It was a struggle getting the box into the house and took me the entire day to put it together, hate doing those kind of things. My goal is 30 min. aeorbic a day. I'm going to be adding strength with pilates resistant bands soon. I did 5 min exercise bike, walked 10 min., 5 min exercise bike, walked 5 min and the last 5 min on the exercise bike. Breaking it up that way made it seem a lot easier and quicker. Back to work tomorrow already.
