I feel my endurance has increased after acclimating riding the Me-Mover, I still work out with weights, some routines with the same weight I used over 10 years ago. Although I now use a Me-Mover more than I ride my bicycle, I didn't when I first started riding the stand-up scooter because it requires more energy to propel, but after a while, I got used to it, glad I did because of my endurance. I enjoy standing, using my leg muscles differently, no more huffing and puffing as I did about 2 years ago the first time I started stepping, really felt it, lactic acid started with only a short ride, did I made a mistake at 78? Too old to ride a Me-Mover I thought.
But I fought the lactic acid build up, each time I went farther which proves even at an older age we can still build muscle and endurance. I was surprised because I could ride my bicycle for hours, obviously, I was using different muscles including my core which gets' hardly any use spinning on a bicycle.
It's true if we use the same muscles constantly without cross training, it stops being a workout, the body get's so used to it. The Me-Mover is my rehab for my age.
