I can’t say why today should be any different from the three other days this year that I mounted my exercise bike with determination to begin again. (It’s Memorial Day Monday in the USA, by the way.) Maybe it was because I awoke on my back and it required an abdominal “crunch” to arise from that position. However, I noticed that I still had sufficient strength in these muscles to elicit a contraction, so I tried nine more crunches. “Whoopee! All is not lost yet!” I think to myself. ”Perhaps I can save what’s left of my aging body and manage to hold off the wheelchair and the Zimmer frame a while longer.”
So before breakfast, I pedaled 15 minutes this morning. That’s 15:05 minutes, 2.02 miles, and 182.6 calories, to be exact! At the very least, I expect my knees to feel better for the rest of the day.
We’ll see how long I can stick with it. I’m not making any vows or declarations…
Hello, old friend!
