I use the stationary bike for my knee therapy. Throughout my youth and teen years, I was a runner. I ran the mile and country cross. After that, I continued to run to relieve stress. I started to take up riding a bike.
It wasn't until I hurt my right leg a few years back, which I mention in earlier articles, that I decided to give up running altogether. I found biking was easier on my injury and continued my therapy.
For a person with no set workout schedule, just doing what I like to do to help me stay fit, I'm beginning to see some muscle tone take shape. Mind you these are photos before I started writing about my no workout, workout.
As you can see, I'm already in pretty good shape and that's because I've always believed in taking care of my body, and eating healthy (okay, not so healthy... I'm eating a sheet pizza tonight) but you get the point I'm trying to make.
You probably wondering how on earth I could have three children and still look this great! My every day is a workout. Just doing what I do every day. I do walking therapy, there are 30 some step to my place, I travel by taxi, walking or bike. That means I carry all my groceries, and I do my physical therapy for ankles, knees, shoulders and upper back.
I'm not looking to have muscles. I'm looking to be just me. So ask yourself why you want to lose weight. Is it because you feel you have too or because something within you wants to change?
If you want to change your mindset about exercise and workout out, I'm your go-to gal.
If you want to go on a diet, do a workout it for a couple of weeks and then stop, then you want to connect with someone else.
I'm in it for the long haul. I'm in it for life.
Growing old gracefully doesn't have to be hard and sweaty.
