A little over three years ago, my husband gave me a stationary bike for a Christmas present.
I was truly thrilled with the gift.
I am committed to my fitness level. I workout in some form every day of the week. I pay for a gym membership and typically devote three or four days a week there. On the other days, I enjoy running, swimming or cycling. Unfortunately, the weather doesn’t always allow an outdoor workout. It’s convenient to have an indoor option for exercising. The bike is just ideal. It’s not overly bulky, so it doesn’t take up a lot of space. The operation is almost silent, letting me workout when the rest of the family is asleep, studying or watching a movie on television. Since pedaling causes no impact, the bike allows my joints a much needed break. The seat is especially comfortable and the movement is really smooth. I can easily read on my ipad and play music through a bluetooth speaker while I ride the bike. It’s such a pleasure that I sometimes feel slightly guilty. However, I always burn a great deal of calories in a fairly short amount of time. The bike features a touchscreen display that provides a variety of diverse programs. I can select from biking up and down mountains, endurance training or even create my own program. It can target the completion of a set distance, time or calories burned, and I am able to increase the intensity of the workout by way of adding resistance. The bike also keeps track of my daily workouts, allowing me to compete against my personal best. The stationary bike is probably my favorite Christmas gift ever.
