Exercise bikes - what to ask before you buy
1. Do I need an exercise bike?
This is the first question to ask. So many exercise bikes end up in the garage (or garage sale). The advantages of exercise bikes over the treadmills are that they:
- take up less space than a treadmill
- have a lower impact on your body than a treadmill or jogging
- are usually cheaper than treadmills (but of course, jogging is free)
If you actually use the exercise bike you can get a great cardiovascular workout, but leaving it sitting in the bedroom with your pyjamas draped over the handlebars doesn't count.
