We did some spring cleaning to make room for the indoor bike trainer as well as clear some stuff out as ever since I moved into the shack I was rather unimpressed over the fact that we could not get into the breakfast nook and open those blinds! I love light streaming in, especially when you're cooking up a storm on a grey dull day, but yet you can look outside and see the beautiful trees on your property. When you're stuck indoors and can't reach potential sun shinning, blind opening windows that you know will assist in brightening up your day, it's quite dreary.
So, we cleared out some space, open the blinds, and instantly I'm "Super Bubbly Woman!"
I got to tell you, jumping on that bike and slowly pedalling with no resistance fell so good. Instantly the knee joint relaxes and opens up and the sharp stabbing pain I have hitting the inner part of the knee disappears.

| Well aren't I moving quick! |
* increase or restore knee joint range of movement
* increase or restore knee joint stability
* increase or restore the strength of muscles around the knee
* decrease pain
In comparison with other exercises cycling is a relatively ‘knee friendly’ activity that can help to improve knee joint mobility and stability. Cycling is frequently used as a rehabilitation exercise modality after knee injury or surgery as well as part of the management of chronic degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Why is the bike so good?
*non weight bearing
*low impact
* uses a range of motion that is needed for most daily activities
* controlled movement
*variable resistance
* cyclic movement nourishes joint cartilage
So, get on your bike!
hey - awesome to see you on your bike.. with FULL circles no less! .... but equally remarkable is the space that has been created in the kitchen!!! that took some work to make that happen:-)
