Jim- I'm doing the recumbent bike at the gym.
According to the control panel, I'm doing aboujt 5 or 5.5 miles per half-hour session (have picked a slightly higher resistance level and slightly lower speed to try to work the legs and hips more). I was thinking of working up to an Ironman, but I waited too long and rusted. ;-) -Ben > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Ben Braver [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Tuesday, April 01, 2003 4:53 PM > > To: CF-Community > > Subject: FA articles (was RE: dilemma) > > > > > > Andre- > > > > Thanks for mentioning the gravity boots, that might possibly > > help me.
