Hi--It's Beth from the "I'm obese....." etc.
I have a recumbent bike, and was getting on it a couple of times a week for about 15 minutes. That's all I could do. I built up to about 20 minutes. One night I did 21 minutes and the next morning I was crippled. I don't know if it was the bike or not. Does anyone have any knowledge of a stationery bike causing this kind of pain?? I thought since it wasn't weight bearing that it wouldn't hurt, then I thought about just the movement in my joint might have been too much....
There seems to be very little I can do right now and I want to do SOMETHING so bad.
And what about upper body strength exercises? I think someone mentioned it on the other thread. I need some examples because I have no imagination. I'm also researching this on the internet.
thanks,
Beth
