So, I fell off a chair while trying to kill a spider. He won. I received a Level 3 Sprained Ankle. Ouch!! Physical Therapist says “Go get an Exercise Bike.” I’m like, “The one that my seventy four year recent Mother uses?” Yes, she says, exactly.
Well, who am I to argue with 2 torn ligaments and a awfully smart Physical Therapist? I came right, scan the reviews, and wanted one thing little and low cost. I figured i would use it for a month or 2 and toss it into the garage.
I have to say, that i am thus pleasantly stunned with this bike!
It is durable, silent, and that i will just put my iPod on and ride for 30 to 45 minutes with the stress level at vi or 7 and it’s a great workout! i am 5’5 and also the height is perfect. My husband is 6’2 and might not ride it- he’s too tall, bike is just too little. No biggie- it’s really just for me, quite like my Pilates DVD’s. He will jog and that i will bike until i’m fully healed and begin the heavy-duty walking again. but you know what? i will not be tossing the bike within the garage- it’s a good, weather-impervious workout, and that i get pleasure from it.
Use hand weights if you would like while riding to extend your heart rate and work those arms! i exploit 3 pound weights- and that i will feel it when.
Also- THE SEAT is tough. I purchased the Sunlite Cloud nine Gel Bicycle Seat cowl and it really helps. Still not specifically “soft and cushy” but no bike seat ever is, therefore the gel seat cowl makes a large difference.
Husband put it together in 25 minutes and it arrived in at some point. 2 thumbs up!
