I haven't been on a bike since I was 12 myself, when I used to peddle in circles around a concrete wharf in front of my grandfather's mushroom growing house. (If you count that as biking. I don't.) But this summer I borrowed my daughter's bike and went on an experimental ride with my husband. And loved it.<br /><br />So, I've been biking whenever I can, which is mostly on weekends -- and an evening or two when we can swing it. My record so far is 9 miles. Not too shabby for over 30 years off a bike, right?<br /><br />My daughter tells me I need to get my own and give hers back. So I guess that's the next step.Dianne K.

I've got a crazy commute until I move to SLC. Plus, I sprained my ankle a couple days ago. Basically, I'm gonna be out of the exercising routine until I get things back to normal. I understand not having a ton of time to do what is most important let alone adding exercising into the mix.

Here, let me give you an example: Reduce your calories, monitor your sodium for high blood pressure, drink more water, get enough cardio per day, take your vitamins, raise your good cholesterol, lower the bad cholesterol, don't eat too much sugar, eat more protein, eat less carbs...<br /><br />and on and on and on.

It doesn't replace my work out (especially since cycling can aggravate the arthritis in my hips so I have to keep the tension pretty low) but it adds an extra dimension and keeps my muscles moving when I'm at the computer. It wasn't too expensive either.S.P.

However, since I'm strictly a rule follower (you're my rebel hero)I will post tomorrow. <br /><br />I think it's great that you found something that can work into your lifestyle. Runners can be a fanatical sect convinced it's the one, true form of cardio, but the idea is to keep ourselves healthy. <br /><br />By the way, hysterical clip. I'm pretty sure I look like a combination of a couple of those when I jog. My favorite awkward running clip is the one of Phoebe on Friends when she and Rachel decide to go for a run. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1135194497307080856.post-26782975617194171952012-10-04T08:15:41.146-06:002012-10-04T08:15:41.146-06:00I did the standing desk thing that that article ta...I did the standing desk thing that that article talks about. I propped my monitor on a cardboard box, and my keyboard and mouse are on stacks of books. I spend 5-6 of my 8 hours at work standing now, and I think I'm starting to see some of the benefits. I definitely feel stronger than I did a few weeks ago when I started. Tobi Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568662522495853235noreply@blogger.com
