    I've added something new to my workouts. I bought an ebike that I really intended for hunting purposes. However, I found that I really just enjoy long rides on it. Now before you think that its not really exercise since its an ebike, that really depends on the rider. I don't just throttle the thing, although I could and its really fun. I mainly use it in peddle assist. That does help on hills and such but you still get a good workout. I'm doing about 10 miles a day in addition to my regular workouts. I really enjoy it more than I imagined.

    You know in PT they had me do several of these, though never went into such detail of why and benefits to keep me doing these daily. This was a really good detailed vidoe you may want to watch
