I have found my path
And it’s called recumbant stationary bicycle. Say that five times real fast. It was easy. I was relaxed. It doesn’t have an attitude problem like a certain treadmill I know. I have one issue though. How can I say this delicately?
There’s no way for a girl to get on and off that thing with dignity. I tried the straddle squat technique. The side saddle “I’m a lady” technique. Then there was the scooch technique. I don’t recommend it. I scarred some patrons for life. I even tried a sneak attack which I think caused the employees to question my sanity. I finally settled for the side saddle “I’m a lady” technique with a little leg swish for effect. It’s very important to point the toe as you swing your leg over. Very lady like.
Gravity is my enemy.
Anyway, I pedaled my little heart out for 20 minutes. It was exhilarating. Getting off was another issue. My legs were wobbly. Damn me and my years of inactivity.
I think I’m going to like this gym. Everyone is so nice and for some reason they tend to keep their distance. Go figure. 
Sam that’s brilliant that you like the bike. When you get used to it, you can use some free weights to do upper limb resistance work as you work your legs.
Ah, a morning dose of Sam. My day is a little brighter now. It’s great you are working through your obstacles and continuing to be active. Pretty soon you will be jumping on and off that bike with ease. Keep it up!
It is awesome you are getting it done!! Keep up the great work. They say the recumbant style is much better on your back.
Sam, you are good for my heart, thanks for the smiles! So glad you feeling better and glad you found a good gym! Maybe you could work out a deal with the treadmill to launch you on the bike…huh??
no more launches - I already have a dent in my hip from the last champagne bottle. sheesh.
Your too funny! I hope people make you smile half as much as you make me smile
I’m considered the stoic member of my family.
You are hilarious Sam! Love it and good job in getting into the gym.
Someday I’ll have to tell you about the time I went to get my hair cut and ended up taking out two cubicles and a sail boat sail.
Loooong story.
Alright, I was going to tell you this yesterday…(Don’t know why I didn’t)…but the bike seems to be the only way for me to go….sort of working my way up to running..lol But, Beware of hiney calusses! Give it some time, you’ll know what I’m talkin’ ’bout bro! lol…
Great blog Sam you gave me such a visual with your descriptive adjectives that I almost did something unlady like, p…s my pants. Thanks for the laugh and good luck with the bike hope she behaves for you.
Sam, I was close to tears over a scare I just had over my hubby. I was looking for something to keep me from crying..cause really..he is ok. I saw your pic and you had posted a blog…thank you..thank you….you have such a talent for writing and by time I was done reading…you had me laughing. Bless you!!!
