Does anyone else on here ride the Trikkes? I just picked one up and am having a great time learning the movements to keep moving. Plus, its a great workout. Upper body, hips, abs and legs all at the same time. Check them out at

TRIKKE 3-point Carving Vehicles

Boy, that looks WILD, Dave!!! It doesn't look motorized so my fear for your body is lessened!

And of course, you DID buy all the padding gear to go along with that??:) Have you had any spills yet??? (Do the words "spring chicken" mean anything to you???)

Just kidding: it looks like it would be a fantastic time--you enjoy the heck out of it~!!:lol:

Thanks, I am very much a beginner, but it is a real workout. I have heard of calorie burn of 500-700 per hour of riding at a moderate pace.

Make33, I do have a helmet and padded gloves, so my first spill wasnt much at all. Gotta watch out for the drainage ditch at the end of the driveway...LOL

Looks cool! Can you tell me approximate cost to get one? Do you think someone riding one looks like they're DUI?

Sue, they start around 260 and go up to around 575. Not only do you look DUI when on one, but you kinda feel that way too.

I checked it out some more and I am very interested. However, I'm kind of clutzy. Is it difficult to learn how to ride? It looks like great fun. I'm thinking that I could buy it and ride it along the Cape Cod Canal this spring and summer.

Please let me know if your average clutzy person would be able to learn to ride it?

Thanks.

Sue

Dave that looks like SO much fun...I just got back from skiing & this looks like the fun w/out the cold and lugging gear around.

I've turned into a clutz lately & after showing DH the site, he said I could get one if I up my Life Ins Policy :smile2:.

Thanks. I'm going to save up and order by the end of April. I'll make sure I get a helmet too.

Let me know how the calorie burning goes.

That looks fun, and like a good way for me and my clumsy butt to break or severely injure some part of my anatomy!

I see a UTube Moment in my future if I get one of these:) I love the idea - just afraid I'll be famous for cracking my butt ... I'll be a glutten and probably order one - I'll send the link to utube after my first run:biggrin:

I almost bought a trikke once! I used to see them all the time when I lived in FL, but haven't seen them since I moved to TX. I was just thinking about them the other day, wondering if they were still around...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
