Hi Carlyle ~

Great job riding your recumbent bike!

Why not join our Exercise Check-In, in the Wellness Forum?

We'll help you to keep it up, with our weekly support!

Take Care

Wonderful, Carlyle! I want to own a recumbent myself someday!

Yes, I also encourage you to join in our exercise weekly thread. All of us have different capabilities and different styles for keeping our bodies moving.

We check in each Thurs with our results. In case you're interested, here the latest thread. https://www.msworld.org/forum/showth...k-In-12-5-2019

Carlyle,

Glad that you began to cycle! It's great cardio and meditative. Also increases discipline... do it when you really don't want to... 5 minutes, after a time you will look forward to it, you will move from 5 to 10 minutes but over time.

As KoKo & Shesa offered; join the exercise group. If nothing else it can serve as a small guilt trip... Some really go at it, some have good weeks, some not so good. Our routines are commensurate to our abilities.

Simple encouragement.

Congrats. I ride a spin bike inside a few times a week and it's wonderful. All the best to every one of us.

Carlyle - that is great! Hopefully, you can keep it up. It's a great accomplishment. Sometimes the hardest part is that first step, or ride in this case!

Carlyle- the hardest part is getting started and you’ve accomplished that. Keep it going and join us on the exercise check in mentioned above. Some do a little, some do a lot, we all do what we can.

Good for you! Riding a recumbent bike is one of the exercises I do sometimes too. I haven't for awhile because I've been focusing more on yoga and strength training, but I'd like to add some back in.

Keep us posted! We'd love to encourage you. I find it helpful to keep myself motivated when I hold myself accountable to report to others.

You'd be perfect for our exercise group. Your goal can be to ride your recumbent bike for 6 minutes. You can choose how many days per week you want to do it. 2 or 3 might be a good start, unless you feel up to more.

If you don't feel like trying us out for a week or two (or forever), please keep posting your successes (or struggles) here.
