And I might finally get a better scale that doesn't force me to weigh my damn leg every day.

Let me know if you find one of these

Invest in a physician's scale. They are more accurate than the shitty electronic wal mart ones. Instead of buying 10 crappy one's over your lifetime invest in 1 good one.




Or if you want the digital version

So.... I'm going to get an exercise bike but I keep reading horror stories about the crappy quality from just about every damn company.

yeah thats a tough one.

i have both a stationary and a trainer for my road bike.

i hate them both so very much.

i'm telling you, its a bitch to motivate yourself to sit on one of those and sweat for an hour (or even 30 minutes). the fact you're not moving through a breeze makes every minute that passes miesrable.

spin classes are better, there's usually eye-candy and the music and instructor adds tons of motivation.

just sayin..i'm not sure you want to spend money on something that could possibly end up as a place to hang your shirts to dry.

I can't stand doing cardio on a treadmill or any stationary device. If I'm doing cardio, it's going to be outside where my surroundings constantly change and I can look at the trees, the ground, the leaves, the cars, the houses, etc. to keep my mind occupied. On a treadmill it's just 100% miserable boredom.

I wish LE would enlighten the thread on this Ebike/chronic cardio topic. (2 pages). He has more posts than all putta's combined.


Sorry. Had to

my cardio is usually sprints, of the 100 yd variety.

How often?

170/149.5/145

when you get old sprints=jogs, jogs=walks, walk=stand.

I WILL ride the stationary bike. My main beef with the bike is that they all seem to be made on the super cheap and everywhere I looked there were lots of nightmare stories

I love my schwinn air-dyne evo comp. Very sturdy and its upper and lower body workout.I also do some HIIT on it. Resistance is determined on how hard you ride. As far as it being boring, it can be but whatever. 30-40 min a day means you have 23 1/2 other hours in your day to do something not boring. I used to road ride but with 4 kids depening on me, I couldn't afford a wipeout or being hit by some dumbass in a pickup who clips me with his mirror because I'm riding on "his" road. I've been mulling over doing some again on a limited basis, maybe in a riding club.

Wheels came off last few days, I blame Les Miles

This. Plus riding the same levee over and over and over isn't remotely exciting. Glad SOMEONE has some positive comments about the stationary bike. Plus I have a nice spot for it next to my 51 inch Samsung.
It will be much easier to force myself two feet onto the bike in my apartment than carrying my bike out to the levee during the winter or peak summer.
