Confession: The exercise bike

Posted Apr 12 08 11:04am 1 Comment

Last December I bought this expensive-ass exercise bike (http://www.nordictrack.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product2_12401_10301_27501_-1_19551). I'm a horrific blend of money-conscious and anal retentive. If I spend a lot of money on something, that's practically a guarantee that I will use it and take extra special care of it. I just KNEW that there was no way this bike would sit and collect dust after I spent almost $900.00 bucks ($500.00 plus warranty and in-home assembly).

Boy was I wrong! I used the bike for one week in January and my expensive toy has sat and collected dust until today. I wanted my well points, so I got on and did the Level 2 workout on the SD card that comes with the bike. My thigh muscles sang a bit, but I was able to make it through the whole 20 minutes. We'll see if I can still walk tomorrow.

Don't feel too bad. A lot of us have exercise equipment that we've bought with the intention of using it. I personally collect workout videos. Not so much cash outlay at one time but expensive none the less. At least you're using the bike now. Try checking out some of those DVD's at the library that you can watch while riding. They film in different parts of the country and include what you would see if you were riding a bike on a path or road in that area. It should at least make it more interesting.
