Anyone Want An Exercise Buddy?

[KP the nut]

I'm in. I bought an electric bike in March. It is one where I can pedal with no electric power, pedal with a little help or full power with only minimal pedalling. I live in a very hilly area. Problem is, I'm scared to ride it. I know it is a confidence thing.

My goal will be to get riding and then to build up distance. I will start on Monday (tomorrow). I hope I can do a crash (well not literally) course as Hubby and I are going on holiday on Thursday and the bikes are coming with us :nailbiting:.

Oh dear, the butterflies are gathering in my stomach already.

I'm in!

I'm back with the walking now that the anaemia is getting better. I can do anything from a stroll to 10 miles and, if H will clean my bike for me and give it a service, I might try to get on that as well. Not as many hills here as there is in KP land! ;)

Hubby and I have left maps for you, with some lovely nearby walks.

Does anyone know of any decent yoga DVDs?

I have one called "Yoga for Energy and Relaxation" by Element. It has two different workouts one to be energizing and one for relaxation. I really like the relaxation one. I haven't done the energizing one yet.

As far as DVDs for yoga, you can really hurt yourself if the poses are done incorrectly.

I can vouch for this! I moved back instead of forward, ended up in the hospital with back surgery! Be careful!

I'd like to join in and have my goal as swimming every other day for 45 minutes each. I haven't been near the pool since my 2nd back surgery.

Ok point taken, I should take a yoga class! I'll keep it in mind for the future, as I rather exercise outside while the weather is nice.

Yep, me too. I love to walk my dogs when its nice out. I do walk them in the rain. They both have pink raincoats. Goofy, I know, they are both over 130 lbs, but I had to buy them.

Feeling sick, the bike comes out tomorrow :yuck: :sick:

That is not goofy. I knit sweaters for my Bullmastiff!

Putting off getting the bike out - but I will do it.

Think positive.

What if you just sat on the bike, closed your eyes, and played a movie in your head about riding the trail?

Go KP go!!!! You can do it!

Or else I will have to bring my bike down and cycle behind you with a megaphone while we sing The Bicycle Song by Queen! :roflmao:
