Amazing New Exercise
I've discovered the key to health and long-life. It's an amazing new exercise. It's performed as followed: Remove training wheels from the bike of a 6 year old, place 6 year old on bike, then bend over and grab back of seat. Now (while bent over) run along-side the bike for 1 mile - or more.
The benefits of this exercise are many. You can't beat the anaerobic benefits of running while bent over at the waist. Since your lungs are compressed considerably, it's almost impossible to catch your breath. When it was all over, it felt like I had run 5 miles. It also helps build the muscles and tendons of your dominant hand. My right hand/wrist enjoyed a great workout, since those are about the only muscles you employ to keep the bike/kid from falling over.
For the record - - he was able to ride unassisted for several small intervals - about 10 seconds each. We are making progress.
