Just Bought An Exercise Bike!!

[lucky2bLAURA 31]

I'm a little excited! I just bought a Stamina UX2 Air Resistance Upright Exercise Bike from Walmart and got it all put together! I'm looking forward to using it tomorrow. I've always loved to exercise but after some trouble in college, I got out of the habit and started gaining weight and then exercise was a little uncomfortable. But since I've lost almost 50 lbs, it's a lot easier to move and I have so much more energy.... One of my major goals is getting a really nice bicycle and perhaps getting into cycling someday. I loved my bike when I was a kid, there's nothing like the feeling of the air streaming by as you peddle faster and faster. I'm on my way!!!!

How's that bike going? I too started biking last spring. I bought three different ones before I found what I really like. I ended up going to a bike shop and buying a USED road bike. ( Trek 1200 ) Since then, I have put about 1800 miles on it. (Ive got another one I ride at times with the family.) I started slow, about only about 5-8 miles the first couple of times. Within a month, I was doing 20. Now a 26 mile lap around our local bike trail is a normal ride. The longest I've done so far is a 50 mile nonstop ride, with a group. I'm gonna get to 100 KM by summer, with this years goal to get to a 75 mile nonstop ride this year. Next year, hopefully a century ride, 100 miles! My point is, get you a bike that fits you and your style of riding, start slow with small increases in distance/pace. I despise going to a gym and working out, but LOVE outdoor road/bike trail riding.

Good luck to you and congrats on your weightloss!!
