For Christmas last year, my partner bought me a stationary bike.
It was the right gift as well as extremely thoughtful of him.
I workout everyday but have always had entirely limited equipment. Because I was unwilling to invest in high-priced exercise machines, I was restricted to a jump rope, medicine ball, a few hand weights as well as a yoga mat. The exercise sessions are sometimes stale, repetitive as well as boring. Whenever I can, I go for a run outside. However, our summers are brutally hot as well as humid. The winters are long, snowy as well as bring rapidly decreasing temperatures below zero. In-between, the people I was with and I often deal with high winds, sleet as well as rain. I am stuck inside for our training sessions for most of the year. The bike is so silent that I can workout at any time of the afternoon or night without waking anyone. This is especially helpful because I prefer to workout early in the afternoon before the rest of the family gets up. I love to listen to music as well as read on our kindle while I cycle. The bike features a touchscreen as well as provides a variety of strange workouts. I can customize the workout to identifiable goals such as calories burned, distance as well as duration. It is entirely easy to increase the difficulty of the workout by adding resistance or pedaling faster. The seat is super comfortable as well as I have a spot to put our water bottle. The workout is so great that I sometimes worry that I’m not working tough enough. However, I always manage to get hot. When I step off the bike, I can know the exertion in our legs.
