That's what the muscles in my legs do for about a half hour after I stop cycling, anyway! They twitch all over the place, and I can't decide if it is good (that they're continuing to work) or annoying (that I can't get them to stop).

Got in 10.1 miles on the bike, FINALLY. I am anticipating a problem down the road, though, and don't know if I can solve it with my preferred exercise. You see, I am having problems with my thighs hitting my belly when I cycle, and it is quite uncomfortable. I also imagine it is going to get worse in the coming months, and I have no alternative exercise at this point that does any cardio. I will probably be able to get out and walk with the kids in a few months, when it finally thaws, but that is also not ideal for speed or fitness (I still don't have a good method for carrying both of them, at the size they're at now, but Callie can't walk fast or far).

So yeah, I don't know what I'm going to do when it comes to exercise. I can still use my strength bands, sure, but this thigh-belly-contact nonsense will not work well as I get even bigger than I am now.

What I find interesting is that when I was 20 pounds heavier, this didn't bother me and wasn't a problem. maybe because now it is internal organs, as opposed to just blubber? My entire digestive tract is getting higher and higher with each passing week, and so perhaps that is where the pain/discomfort is coming from?

I want to keep cycling, I enjoy it and it is much easier on my knees that walking, but that may not be possible :(

I have a recumbent bike, which means that your position when cycling is more reclined, that would probably lesson your discomfort. Have a look at some online, they may work for you.

Thank you for your comments ;)

To answer your questions/suggestions, I actually do take a calcium supplement because of my lack of dairy, and my bike is a recumbent already. I seem to be hitting my belly worse on that than on my upright road bike!

Oh well, not much to do for it, it seems :)
