Went on my exercise bike for the first time in months

[Elmo311]

months! Managed it for an hour and now, my legs are killing me! It's keeping me awake! Is Ibuprofen the cure?!

😫

Protein shake and hot water bottle do it for me

@ShirleyPhallus Your username 😂😂😂

Thank you, I'll try the hot water bottle.

Did you cool down and do some stretches afterwards?

@AlrightTreacle I did! Still dying and I had a terrible nights sleep 😅

An hour after not doing it forever was a terrible plan, sorry Elmo! Same with real bikes. You have to work your way back up to them else you'll hurt yourself and never touch it again... ibuprofen yes.

20 minutes max next time. If you get crotch damage, wait until that's gone before another session. Go for 30 minutes. Rinse and repeat.

Do wear padded cycle shorts it if helps. It may look like an innocent bit of machinery but they're nearly as fanny-bashing as a road bike.

@HerNameIsIncontinentiaButtocks You're right! Your comment made me laugh it's very true!

I'm suffering a bit less this evening, back on the bike tomorrow. Not for an hour though 😅

Well done! It's excellent exercise (because you can read or watch telly while you're doing it :D )
