Well I have done it, I have made the switch back to a road bike. I have been riding a recumbent (where you sit down with your feet in front of you) for over a decade. It is such a nice ride, but I wanted to be back on a normal bike. So that means my back is getting so much better. I am actually recovering from L4 and L5 being degenerative. I did Vax-D to decompress those discs and now I am strengthening all of my core muscles and I am doing well!! That has been one of my personal goals in doing AIDS rides since the beginning and I am thrilled to be accomplishing it.
To strengthen my body I have been doing P90X (http://beachbody.com). Either you know how intense that one is, or you are wondering, what is that??? It is an intense workout program designed to last 90 days. I am now on day 33 and oh my. I have been sore almost every day and it is wonderful ;).
I have also been on two good rides (for me so far) on my new bike of about 20 miles each. A nice start to my training.
