You’re a creature of habit; you’ve got daily rituals in place that help you make the most out of your busy schedule. Exercise is one of your regular rituals. Nothing makes you feel better than getting outside and doing something that makes you sweat and gets your blood flowing. It’s almost like a powerful drug…it gives you more energy than you know what to do with and makes you feel alive. Saturday mornings are your self-designated bike days. At about 9am, you load your bike onto your car and drive to the lake to ride the bike path. You enjoy riding the bike path since you only have to worry about occasionally dodging joggers and other people on bikes instead of cars. The path winds all the way around the lake; if you ride the entire loop, it’s about 7 miles. It’s mostly flat with a few little rolling hills, but if you ride it at a good clip, you get a good workout. And if you’re really feeling good (or maybe you just ate that extra piece of cheesecake the night before), you’ll do the loop twice. Sounds like a long time to be on a bicycle, but when your bike is as comfortable as your Heartland, it’s no problem. It’s made of lightweight aluminum, so there’s no extra weight to rob your energy. It’s outfitted with a cushy seat, a front suspension fork to soak up all the bumps in the road, and has a comfortable, upright riding position. As you unload your bike, you take a deep breath of fresh air and look around you. It’s warm and sunny. The birds are happily singing in the trees. There are ducks floating lazily on the lake. You smile. Today is going to be a two-loop day for sure.

Start your own fitness ritual. If winding roads and city streets are your playground, check out a Heartland Express or Heartland Express LE. Or, if bike paths and dirt trails are more your speed, try a Heartland, Heartland DLX, or Heartland LTD. Exercise has never been more enjoyable.
