Recumbent bike in front of the computer while reading the New York Times.
I also use free weights twice a week while watching the evening news. I highly recommend this form of excercise. For under $50 you can generally buy a set of weights and an excercise book. I also recommend anything written by Joyce Vedral. Her books are geared for the beginner and the older woman. They are very easy to follow.
I don’t think people are using “recumbent bike” correctly.
I think you mean “stationary bike” or “exercise bike”.
A recumbent bike is an actual bicycle. . .one where you lean back onto a seat and pedal with your feet out in front of you.
They do make stationaries in that style, but I don’t think I’d call them “recumbent bikes”.
The only way I can do it is:
Eat lunch at my desk while I work, then go to the gym (which is located about a half a block from my office) on my 1 hour lunch break. Between walking time, changing time and showering time, that leaves me about a half hour of actual exercise time. I try to do this 5 days a week, but usually only manage 3 or 4 days a week. Still, it’s probably better for me than napping in my car, which is what I used to do on my lunch break.
I go outside and jog for 30 minutes during my lunch hour.
Heh.
It’s not an issue for me. I own a Taekwondo school and teach most of the classes!
Why not? I have one from Sears called a recumbent. When I pedal my feet are practically in front of me.
I suppose to be technically correct you might call it a stationary recumbent bike but the seat’s still much lower than on a regular bike.
It’s wonderful. I had a regular stationary bike and my back hurt when I used it. I’ve had no such problems with the recumbent model.
