"I Lost 331 Pounds"


[ I love inspirational stories like this; Scott could only walk 10 steps before needing a rest but some how a bike gave him the motivation to continue. An excerpt from the article:]

Brown, based in Minneapolis, built a steel bike for Cutshall and delivered it in early 2005. But Cutshall was so afraid of breaking it that it sat in his hallway for months, gathering dust. Finally, on Thanksgiving Day, he had an epiphany. He prepared a feast for his family, and only ate a few bites. Then, he took his bike outside and rode 1.9 miles. It took him three hours. From then on, he was hooked. <a href="http://www.bicycling.com/bke/slide/home/1,8155,s1-1-81-0,00.html">http://www.bicycling.com/bke/slide/home/1,8155,s1-1-81-0,00.html</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
