I'm 50.
1. I came on here to get advice on what kind of bike to buy, how to start out, etc.
2. I take fish oil and sometimes a multivit. I follow a natural diet.
3. I had been slowing down dramatically, but since I've been stationary biking, stretching, and resistance training I feel so much better.
4. I rode for years as a child and teen, but haven't been on a bike for about 30 yrs!
5. I plan to start out riding around my neighborhood, then going to some of the local parks. I can definitly ride on trails, and I think some have paved bike trails. Currently I only use a stationary bike.
6. 3-4X/week on stationary. 30 min, not sure of the mileage.
7. Resistance training, limited and yoga stretching.
