Ted Exercises with Americas Best Bike Rides – Day 15 of 90

Hi America! This is day 15 of Ted’s Blog. I had a nice weekend up in Colusa, duck hunting on Saturday and Sunday. I went with my son and my daughters boyfriend. I had to get the decoys out of the water since it was the last weekend of duck season. That’s a lot of work! It’s fun, getting out there in the wild in nature. You got the beautiful mountains and tress the ducks flying over head, the geese…and it’s just something that I’ll always think of as I’m working and sitting down at my desk, thinking about what it’s like being outside.

Right now, I’m riding to the Cheese Factory Video of America’s Best Bike Rides and I’m about 30 minutes into the ride I’m averaging about 140 as far as my pulse goes and I’m riding between 15 and 16 mph on the bike trying to keep up a good pace and I’m finding it’s a lot easier right now for me to keep going at a good steady clip so I must be getting in better shape. I feel it in my legs, I feel like my heart’s keepin’ up, keepin’ up a good pump and I’m just feeling it all through my whole body. You know I’m trying to not eat as much now. I’ve only had one meal today. It’s about 5 pm right now I find that a little less food inside my stomach makes it easier for me to work out. I don’t mind having a big dinner after I work out, but I’m not trying to fill myself up anymore.

These workouts that I’m doing with the America’s Best Bike Rides series are just great. If you’re living in a place where it’s 20 degrees below zero outside, this is perfect for working out and feeling like you’re outside. You can see clear blue skies, nice roads that don’t have ice all over them and snow piled up on the sides. It just gives you that feeling of being outdoors. So, I feel that right now, I feel like I’m riding down this road outside. It’s heading out towards Tomales Bay which is in Marin County California. And it was 50 degrees outside here today and I know like I said, in certain parts of the country right now its probably 20 or 30 degrees below zero, so this is perfect for people that live in those types of climates. Where you can get out on your stationary bike inside your workout room or down at your gym, put the video in and ride and enjoy yourself. And I would really like to see more people using our products, This is day 15! Ted’s Blog and thanks for watching America!

Hi America. This is day 15 addendum, this is after I’ve been riding for about an hour and 10 minutes and I’m totally exhausted right now. Sweat’s just pouring off and this is how I’m burning multiple calories every minute. It’s gotta be working. I told myself, “I’m gonna finish this ride,” and I’m about ten minutes from the end right now. Tomales Bay is coming up and I’ve been pumping this as hard as I can, I’m taking a little break just going slow right now. But boy! I tell you, for me to finish one of these rides, it just get my….gets my full attention. Day 15 singing off! Whew!!
