As a 57 year old man, I’m not ready to sit down and get old. I’m 25 pounds heavier than I want to be, stiffer and slower than I want and feeling my joints every day. That said, I’m not done exploring, moving, learning or living. I bought my Nordic track bike to whip my old self into shape. The first few rides…. Hurt. Padded shorts and perseverance overcame the pain in my… back side. And now, I look forward to my ride each day. I love seeing new places, riding with different trainers and feeling my body become stronger, more limber and toned. I’ve never been one to work out, but this bike is different. Seeing different places is fun. Seeing the resistance level on the screen, anticipating increases, pushing to get through it, because you can see you only have a few seconds more before it eases up on you. All told, it a great program which is providing me with stimulation and the motivation to keep going. I purchased the system at the recommendation of a friend, I’d definitely recommend it to others.
