I've been using a CPAP for 6 or 7 years. I've lost 40 pounds and am still dependant on it. It is true that muscle tone and exess weight contribute to SA. Those of you who suffer and don't seek help are foolish. I was a chronic loud snorer for years. My motivation to seek help came after I ran off the road asleep during the day and nearly killed a pedestrian. Pride is never strong enough to have to bear that guilt.
Biking has helped me get back in shape and reduce my weight. At 52, any ride is a good ride in my book. What's better than the fresh air and sunshine to mak you feel alive!
