Everyone knows that living a long and healthy life can be achieved through diet and exercise. But how do you know the most vital elements for making a healthy lifestyle? In this essay, I will clarify how to achieve that goal, the steps you need to take, and the multiple benefits you receive from getting in shape. Along with making you look better and preventing certain diseases like osteoporosis and high blood pressure, Exercise can make you more pleased. “Exercise causes the body to produce endorphins, chemicals that can help a person to feel more peaceful and pleased.”

Even though you may know all the benefits to a healthy exercise program, you may not be motivated enough to really start. So you have to question yourself this: Do I like solo sports? Or the camaraderie of team sports? Also, you might consider your schedule, surroundings and physical capability. “No matter your sports dilemma is, you have to make the choice that’s best for you.” (Stanford) Furthermore, you need to reflect on what type of exercise you need more. With Flexibility, Aerobic and Strength Training to choose from, choose whether or not you need to lose weight, tone up or regain flexibility.

One of the most vital parts of avoiding injuries is making sure your equipment is safe, up to date and fitting appropriately. “Using the incorrect- or improperly fitted- equipment is a major cause of injuries.” When looking for a bicycle helmet, or multisport helmet, make certain that it sports a CPSC sticker. It should fit snugly but not tilt the head forward or backward. “The most protective eye gear is made from a plastic called polycarbonate and has been tested especially for sports use.” If you wear glasses, you’ll probably need prescription polycarbonate goggles. Mouth guards are used for protecting your teeth, tongue and mouth and should be used for any contact sport. Wrist, knee, and elbow guards are vital too for protecting bones from breaks and sprains. Last but not least, the right footwear can protect you from falling. Cleats are used for baseball, football, soccer and softball and any shoes should be replaced before they wear out.

For those experienced and seasoned riders, what do you reckon of my new road bike? 2nd hand it was $420 for the bike, shoes, helmet, pedals, computer etc. It’s aluminium, not carbon. It’s a 9 speed.

Your crit would depend on what I use it for. I bought it as I’d like to be a racing demon. There’s a major cycle race, 109km, in March that I want to train for. So I guess it’s not for casual cruises among the flower beds at the park. I want to learn to ride, and quick.

Concerns I have are (as posted previously) :
- the seat anhialates my butt
- I can’t seem to go quick enough on straights
- I can’t go up hills, the smallest gear setting is SO tough
- it might not be the lightest bike, kind of on the heavy side

Hoping that neighbor don’t start his mower
At seven a.m. Cause if he starts it…
Grass gonna glide, his shirt, shoes, and his cap.
But, I’m a peaceful sort, with a excellent heart…

Damned fool just cranked it up. Now I got to
Flatten all four tires…my car’s tires, of course!
Then sashay over to his idiot
Self…bat my lashes, sweetly question for help…

Which I don’t need, cause my brothers taught me
Everything about tires and fixing…
But HE don’t know that, and I ain’t tellin…
Cause, long about eleven a…damn…m,
