I know the title of today's post is literally what I've been doing recently.
When I got cold almost a month ago, I could not get back on exercise and have not done anything since. Then a couple days ago I started riding a bike again and went on a few miles. I felt so good and realized how tired I felt after all. So I've been riding a bike everyday since.
There is another reason why I started doing it. About three weeks ago I had kind a strange feeling on my lower back and around right buttocks. I thought I must have pulled the lower muscles or something so I put "Mineral Ice" on my back and used the electric muscle relaxer. (see below)
This machine? works so well. Those soft pads stick to the skin and stimulate the area where the muscles are tired or stiff. It has various types of massaging options like patting and/or squeezing with changeable strength and speed. I bought this in Japan long time ago and it still works fine with a 9V battery.
I still have a slight pain around the buttocks but it is not bad as it was before. So I can ride a bike everyday. Today I rode five miles and I think I might exercise with a jump rope tomorrow!!
As I did not go to the park near our house lately, I was so surprised to see quite yellow leaves fallen on the ground already. Some of the leaves on the trees started changing their colors and they look they are ready for the fall. I love to feel this cooler and crisp breeze on my face when riding a bike.
Ta Daaah! (does it spell right?) I finished this 3D doily!! Men, I had a hard time to connect those flowers to the doily. It was just confusing but I think it turned out okey...
I am now making another doily with purple thread. Hope I will finish it by this weekend and post the photo by then.
Happy quilting!!

Exercise bikes help improve fitness and stamina, and allow you to vigorously exercise both your lower body and upper body at the same time. There is no impact on your joints when using a bike. Exercise bikes continue to sell well even though there are new exercise machines constantly coming on the market. You can get more information about exercise bike which I browsed on internet can fetch you help.
I need to get back on the exercise bandwagon too. But what to give up to accomplish it (certainly not my hubby or kids - wait, how bout my job?? hehe then I wouldn't have money for my crafting..)??? Anyhow, love your doily - love the 3D look to it - great work and job!
