One of the most important things you can do for yourself is to commit to a regular exercise program. Why? Because exercise can make a real difference in how you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.

If you have never followed through with an exercise program before, don’t think it’s too late to start. Research studies have shown it’s never too late! Now is always the right time.

Have you heard the expression, “Use it or lose it”? Pertaining to exercise, these words are extremely appropriate. When we don’t use our muscles, they get weak. This causes us to have pain. Since movement produces pain, we tend to sit more. Now our muscles grow weaker … creating a damaging cycle of inactivity and frailty. This cycle needs to be broken.

Bicycling is a pleasure that lets you get from point A to point B using your own abilities and traveling at your own speed. Bicycling not only provides this opportunity, but it also opens the door for you to experience and see the world around you and to appreciate the power of your own body.

Come with me and I’ll show you what it’s like … I want you to imagine the feel of the wind on your face and the way it caresses your body. Smell the freshly mowed grass, brewed coffee, baked bread, and fried bacon. Now smell the fields of corn and tobacco, cow and horse pastures, early morning dew, and other scents.

Feel the power in your legs as you push the pedals on your bike and notice the muscles in your hands and arms as you flex to apply the brakes. Observe the wildlife, trees, rivers and steams, the homes, and all the interesting people you pass. You can’t help but be struck by wonder as you pedal from place to place, communing with your inner self, reflecting on past situations, and mentally setting new goals for a healthier future. It really doesn’t get any better than that!
