Last week, my son, Bo was in San Diego for Spring Break. Unlike his daddy, he and his brother are tremendously fit. They play full-court basketball for hours at a time, are very athletic, and work out regularly. Bo is 22 and Max is 19. Bo took my Optibike for a few rides when he was here. His report, “That bike is tight, Dad!” He had such a glow on his face and genuinely loved the experience. I had my first hemmy procedure and it looks like it will be about 2 months before I am back on the bike after that process is complete. In the meantime, I am trying to build my leg and core strength through stretching, core exercises, walking, and an elliptical. Frankly, I am glad that most of the formal walking and elliptical training is short-term because I LOVE the Optibike. I am using these few months to get in condition to enjoy my Optibike even more. Without the motivation to get back on the bike, I would have a hard time sticking with the mundane workouts in a gym.
