I wouldn't believe it if it weren't in front of my face like this. I still don't believe it really. You can do wonderful things in photo shop. But NO, this is me then and me now. This has taken about 6 months of trying not to eat too much junk food and grueling exercise.Fake-out.
The exercise was a cinch with my Trikke. It's a fairly new exercise machine, compared to bikes. But it's so much more fun to ride than a bike. I love just cruising around downtown Long Beach. I could envision taking this on vacations and sightseeing on it. I get to see a different side of a city that way.
Plus, this is the easiest and funnest exercise I have ever done. Even when I overdo it, I am not sore the next day. Playing on my Trikke is a great total body workout. I can see my arms developing. When going against an incline, I can really feel my abdomen working. And the legs are getting much stronger and firmer than I've seen in years.
I originally saw a friend ride one and immediately had to have it, yet it took another 6 months before it was parked in my apartment. That was a happy day.The first photo (above) is one of my first rides outside of my apt. complex. This second photo (right) is a very recent one. I could go on and on about me and Birdie, but I'll let the pics speak for themselves...
