Wow! That was a great ride!

I just finished an absolutely amazing 25 mile bike ride around Bucks County, Pennsylvania. I found this amazing park, with a river along side, mountains in the distance, and a pinkish-orange sky surrounding all. The weather has begun to change, so the leaves are just now turning the most beautiful assortment of colors you've ever seen. Wow! What a ride.


Have I mentioned that Global Fitness LLC is doing the MS 150 Bike Race (to benefit multiple sclerosis)? It's coming up next weekend (the 29th and 30th.) We're going to ride from Philadelphia to Jersey Shore and back (75 miles each way), while being sponsored by two very special patients of mine who have MS. Of course, we will also be thinking of our friends' families who have been affected by this terrible disease.

So, back to biking...Here's what we've done to get ready for 150 mile bike race in 4 short weeks:
(keep in mind, you should always ask your doctor before getting involved with an exercise program for the first time in awhile.)

1. Buy a road bike
2. Start at 8-10 miles for the first 2-3 days, just to get used to your seat, the feel of your bike, the roads around you.
3. Ride the following schedule for the first 2 weeks: Monday: 20 miles, Tuesday: 15 miles, Wednesday: Rest, Thursday: 20 miles, Friday: 15 miles; Saturday or Sunday go for a 25-30 mile ride, just to put in some more distance.
4. Ride the following schedule for the 2nd 2 weeks: Monday: 18 miles, Tuesday: 25 miles, Wednesday: Rest, Thursday: 25 miles, Friday: 18 miles; Saturday: 15 miles nice and easy, Sunday of 3rd week: 35 miles; Sunday of 4th week: 45-50 miles
5. You should allow at least 2 or 3 days of 10-20 miles nice and easy before the race. Don't just stop, maintain.

Now, it would also be a really good idea when training for an event like this to resistance train at the same time. Yes, this is a time commitment...but 150 miles is a serious event and you should be prepared. You'll want to consider 30-45 minutes of weight training 3x/week during this training period.

We Signed The Lease!

I can't believe it! The day has finally arrived...Karen (my wife) and I have finally found the perfect place to open up our very first Physical Therapy and Personal Training facility. We're going to call our company Global Fitness LLC, in part because we believe that we are offering a more 'global' approach to rehabilitation and wellness; the other part is because of our love to travel!

Just to catch you up, we actually met in Spain, while studying abroad 6 years ago. Since then, we have lived in Granada (Spain), State College (Pennsylvania, US), Miami (Florida, US), and now Yardley (Pennsylvania, US).

It's been a crazy couple of years... a ton of education and a ton of fun later, we have settled and are getting ready to open a business with an absolutely revolutionary concept in our area.

It only makes sense that once someone finally comes to physical therapy, they have had a myriad of aches/pains that "weren't worth seeing someone about." Well, for this reason, they are usually "breaking down" and need help beyond their existing condition. That's exactly why we want to offer more, the solution:

A team approach. State of-the-art equipment. Physical Therapists working with Fitness Professionals to design life-changing, top of-the-line rehabilitation and exercise programs.

Patients & clients will have 2 specialists working with them at all times...it's gonna be great!

I'm just so excited to be sharing all of this information! Right now, we just finished ordering all of the equipment and we're getting ready to close our final loan. Very exciting!

Wishing you all the best,

Kareem
