Missoula Griz Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Went jogging last night for an hour, came home and stretched. I feel pretty good. My dog certainly liked running with me. I slept much better than usual, too. Because of my back, I can no longer run/jog, doctor orders. It makes me jealous when I drive home from work and see people running on the trail. I am buying a new mountain bike this week. I know once I get started I will get addicted to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've got a bad back you could also try swimming. The Mrs. keeps wanting me to try yoga. But I just can't see myself enjoying sitting in one place, which is part of the reason I don't like gyms. If I'm going to be active, I want to go out and see stuff. You know, feel the sun on my face and the wind in my underpants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skilly Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Combat conditioning I've been trying out this program for a couple of weeks. I think it could be really effective for weight loss if mixed with cardio. I'm not losing any weight , but I'm not really trying as hard as I could. The squats and the pushups will kick your ass though, if you go to failure. I have back problems too, along with some hip arthritis, so I can't run anymore. I do the stationary bike and the eliptical machines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missoula Griz Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) Will you be riding dirt trails or primarily pavement and packed dirt? A "real" mt. bike might not be the best bike for your back problems -- I have back issues too -- and you might be better off (read: less pain) on another sytyle of bike. Good point. It is not a true Mountain bike. I used to do some pretty tough trails on a expensive mountain bike years back. Now, it will be pretty mellow riding with the family. Only spending about $400.00 at a local bike shop. Edited April 30, 2008 by Missoula Griz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
