So my end goal now is to stay off blood pressure pills.
I used to have borderline high blood pressure, but after I started cycling regularly my blood pressure is normal.
The other benefit I noticed is that before cycling, I couldn't hardly run at all without immediately getting winded. After I got into shape through cycling, I was amazed the day I was teaching my son how to hit baseballs, and I could actually run after the balls he hit.
