Waking Muscles
I remember the first day I stepped on a Me-Mover, wobbly, felt unstable. But it was me, an avid bicycle rider that wasn't using my stabilizing muscles, my core muscles. I didn't realize it at the time, but I found out soon after.
I've been riding bicycles as soon as I learned how to graduate from a tricycle to a 2 wheeler, about 72 years ago, have done centuries, sprints, HIIT as part of my exercise routines to hopefully stimulate my Mitochondria, but standing on that Me-Mover, different.
As different as a new exercise, something that stimulates rarely used muscles such as my hip area, that had been giving me trouble for some time when I walk certain distances. "Hip pain on the outside of your hip, upper thigh or outer buttock is usually caused by problems with muscles, ligaments, tendons and other soft tissues that surround your hip joint." About 10 days later hip pain gone, core felt tighter because now the Me-Mover has awakened some muscles.
I've been weight training for a long time, know what happens with new weight training routines, break down muscles, then repair them, build them, make them stronger, that's what cross training will do, that's what the Me-Mover did.
Now, when riding my bicycle, I feel the increased energy, the strength I have for sprinting. I know my endurance has increased with the extra effort required to propel the Me-Mover compels aerobic improvement in a shorter period of time.
Besides at 79 years old, a cancer survivor, anything that helps is a gift.
