Naw that sounds dangerous ?. I have been nursing lower leg issues . So since my daughter inspired me to swim Iām trying to take that up. I completely suck and sink like an anchor . This isonly my 3rd attempt and yes lots of stopping. Then hit the treadmill.blueoval4life were you running along Mack Road about 3:45pm?
I have been using my chainsaw for a couple weeks and hauling away branches and limbs for hours each day. My muscles are complaining but it feels good.
Tried f45 this morning. Fucking beat

Not badā¦
2500 is good enough to get you a lane on a master's team. That's about what I am doing 3x weekly.

Not bad for one day.
So....
And its getting too cold to walk out side. I plan on continuing to walk as long as comfortable, but I don't see myself being one of those people who gets out there and walks when its in the low 40's and below. With he right thermal underwear I could probably work through it. But I've been meaning to buy a Recumbent exercise bike to replace my upright that is works perfectly but is supremely uncomfortable for a man. The seating is too wide, and the position relative to the pedals is too close. Meaning that basically, after 30 minutes, it doesn't matter how you are doing, but rather than your ball sack is completely numb, and your ass hurts. That's no good.
So, I've been looking around at them. Wanted a mid-upper tier bike, NO subscription SHIT. Something I can get comfortable on for a 1-2hr ride. Considered the Schwinn 270, the Nautilus 616/618, and the Sole R92 at the upper end.
Finally settled on the Nautilus 618. Comes with a chest strap for HR monitoring so the cardio programs will work nicer than just using grips. Integrates with the android/apple health apps ( I only care about Apple Health ), has BT connectivity, a fan to keep you cool...etc.

Should be here end of this week. Hope I didn't just waste $700 on a bike that I'll find uncomfortable to use. I was willing to look at the more commercial bikes, but then you get into the subscript shit half the time and I don't want a subscription. I'm fine with it syncing data to an app for tracking, but didn't want a proprietary one.
I've been averaging about 880cal a day walking between 7-10 miles a day. My average speed is about 3.6mph. Bit slower than before which was more like 3.7-3.8.

I'm continuing to lift weights but avoiding anything that bothers my umbilical hernia, which I'm getting surgery for on Thursday.

I'm seriously considering getting a stationery setup for my bicycle so I can put some miles on this winter. My dad got one off of Amazon for like $120. Something simple where both wheels are on a roller setup, as I don't want to have to remove the rear cassette and derailleur.So....

Bob Kazamakis, do you have any recommendations for a low cost setup like I just mentioned? Would be with my 2015 Trek 7.3 FX running Bontrager H5 700x38 tires.
I'm curious what you guys come up with on that one honestly.
Actual rollers are pretty cool and work out your core because youāre constantly balancing. Thereās a learning curve or thereās ones that are āeasierā or have a fork mount. Once you get the hang of it though theyāre pretty fun and are quite the workout.

Thanks!!!
I completely forgot... yeah, front fork mount is what I'd like to start with (my balance with my vestibular kind of sucks) Completely brain farted on that. I did take the one you linked to and threw it on my wish list.

This would be me without using a Fork mount setup.
Sadly, I'm not joking.

Otherwise the other options youād need to swap at least a rear tire. A traditional trainer with fluid or magnetic resistance would be the go to. Wind is cheap but expensive.This would be me without using a Fork mount setup.

Darn. Resistance is actually a low priority to me. Just having the ability to pedal and keep the joints moving is priority. Iām old.
Iād say rollers with a fork mount then
Also you need some sort of resistance, a trainer without it feels really really weird
Twisted my ankle pretty good last Sunday doing the Big Timber XC (5 mile) run in Elgin. Man that is the hardest race I have done based off the terrain you cover. But overall it was fun. Thought I would test out the ankle today. Still have some discomfort and pain depending on how the foot strikes. Hopefully it will recover.
About to hop on the new Recumbent exercise bike now. Lets see how this goes.

Waiting to hear about the muscle and joint soreness in 1-2 days.
