Tried something new for exercise

It's yucky raining out again today, so again no dog walking and no cycling. And, I just didn't feel like going to the gym. So, I tried jumping rope again then hurt my Achilles tendon OUCH!

Anyway, was moping around when I spied my unused stationary recumbent bike sitting there as a silent accusation. So, I had an epiphany.

Why not watch a Netflix Instant Movie while working out on the stationary bike?

So I downloaded the new "National Treasure" movie and rode away for an hour--got in 12.5 miles that way. And, it was fun! The hour really went fast!

I plan on finishing up the movie tomorrow maybe, as it's supposed to be rainy again. :grumble:

Can't wait to see how the movie ends

Good thinking, Shore! Now if only I would get up off my butt and do something productive! :laugh: I'm thinking of mowing the grass one last time before the cold weather returns this weekend.:grumble:
