Totally opposite here. Running is much better than biking, and also I much prefer excising at home to a gym.
Point is: it's a personal preference. Glad you enjoy biking and going to the gym, but both of those sound terrible to me.
- mcv 7y agoI thought I'd hate going to the gym. In fact, I still often don't want to go. But I go anyway, because I remember that afterwards I'm always happy that I went, and I'm really starting to notice the results. Posture in particular; my core muscles are getting stronger leading to much better posture than anything else in my computer-bound existence has ever managed. I don't really bike for exercise; I do it just to get around, and I hate going slow.
- stronglikedan 7y agoI never enjoyed running until I started focusing on my form. Now it's almost meditative. I always thought the only way I'd run is if I were being chased by a predator (or a fucking wasp), but now I run everyday and am totally addicted.
- mcv 7y agoOne problem is that when I run, I feel a stab in my guts due to all the bouncing up and down. I'm now trying to develop a running technique that keeps my torso on the same level, but it feels very unnatural. The only way I can really run is when there's something with one of my kids who's a couple of hundred meters away.
- AstralStorm 7y agoWear a tight thing that holds the gut up? Like whatever power lifters wear. Maybe a belt too.
- mcv 7y agoI'd have to wear it on the inside. It's not that my gut is so large that it bounces, it's that I bounce while running. It seems to me everybody else does too, but it doesn't seem to be causing the same problems in other people.
- AstralStorm 7y agoA corset should still help with that by stabilizing whatever is sloshing around.
