Exercise bike

My dad bought me a stationary exercise bike a couple of months ago cuz I don’t exercise and want to lose weight. I haven’t been using it much though because I got busy with school and volunteering and interviews. Now that I have a job lined up after graduation I decided it was time to get back to using it. I realized yesterday that I can still surf the web and go on forums and listen to music while exercising on it. I’m on it right now and it’s much easier to do when I’m not getting bored. I’m hoping that I’ll start using it more often. I dont hate exercise it’s just that I find it boring

Good for you. But you’re right, repetitive exercise can be quite boring. I personally enjoy running, but even i’ve found it boring at times. So i always bring music along and make sure to keep my music list fresh so i’ve always got something interesting to listen to. Good luck with your job and your exercising.

I watch youtube videos in the reddit.com/r/videos/new section while biking on a recumbent. Makes the time pass quickly.

I used to have a stationary bike in my room. I wasn’t extremely motivated to use it though. I walk on my parents’ treadmill now. Glad you found something that works for you. Keep up the good work!

Buy a boxer’s jump rope and jump rope for 7-14 minutes or download an interval timer app and do something like 20 sets of 30 seconds of jump roping with 30 seconds of rest. It’s the cheapest and easiest exercise with time that requires very little room.

You’re right that is probably the cheapest and easiest to store exercise you can do indoors. I already got the exercise bike though so I’d better use it

yeah mix it up. Load bearing exercise is still important so don’t just do the bike by itself. Try some other exercise like 30 minutes of brisk walking! It’s less boring doing something different and all that bike work will do wonders!

I walk a little bit when I’m on campus. That’s enough walking for me. Probably not enough and you’re right but yeah I’m too lazy. Plus this is great I can now exercise and listen to music and surf the web at the same time. Otherwise it’s just too boring
