The new exercise equipment....



Recommended Posts

Jaymie, Congrats on the new Trikke. Once you get somewhat use to it, you can vary your workout a lot. To work the upper body, use only your arms, carve more and dont lean too much. Its murder on the biceps and chest muscles. Same for the legs if you push harder and dont use the arms much. Core training is good when you make wider sweeping movements, like slalom skiing and it really works the abs and obliques. Your heart rate will stay up pretty good, even with easier riding and making some small sprints at speed. Keep us posted on your progress.....Dave

How's the trikking going? I'm still loving mine. I take it to work and go out trikking at noon instead of walking. It's alot more fun than walking for exercise.

Let us know how it's going with the trikke.

Hi Fellow Bandsters:

Just thought I'd bump this thread because I want to let everyone know how much fun trikking is.

If you're bored with your current exercise, then give it a try. They have them for sale online and also at Olympia Sports. The prices range from about $200 to $600. Don't forget to get a good biking helmet too.

They work best on flat, smooth surfaces (parking lots, streets without much traffic). I'm going to try mine on the Cape Cod Canal this weekend.

My trikke is helping me to get to my goal. I started at 324 (April 2007) and am now 188 (7/1/08) and still going down. I am shooting to hit goal of 159 by the fall.

Drop me a line if you want to ask about my new passion - trikking!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
