My Experience With Stationery Exercise Bikes
There are a lot of people who prefer their own homes to a gym to carry on with their routine exercises, with it being the stationary exercise bikes that you are likely to find the most in almost all homes. This is something that still holds true, which is in spite of there being several advanced exercise equipments that are currently available. It is the simplicity and the ease with which the exercise bikes can be used is what has made them so popular. So if these are not being used, you can still come across them at the attic or in a basement gathering dust.
I too have come across several of these exercise bikes so far. The first time that I ever got to use one was in my aunt's house where the exercise bike that she had was more of fun equipment to me than an object of some serious exercise. I have never seen her using it. But that did not stop us from playing with the bike, like climbing on to it and play around. To me, an exercise bike then was strictly a fun device and the idea of using them to achieve any fitness goal was as remote as anything else. And I along with my friends did get lots of exercise just playing round the bike.
Though right now, I may not have an exercise bike of my own, I did own several of them at various times. However, I never made prolonged use of any of them as my motivation levels came down sharply soon enough. And I am sure it's a similar case for most out there who have bought stationary exercise bikes or other exercise equipments like treadmills. That perhaps is the reason why you should be absolutely sure of being comfortable with the form of exercise that you wish to undertake before you get down to actually buying the equipment, especially since these equipments, by no means, can be considered cheap. People surely wish to make the best use of these when they buy them, but somehow, they end up gathering dust. At some time or the other most of my relatives have bought various exercise equipments, though almost all of them are sitting idle. And this is not an isolated instance, as you will get to see the same thing everywhere.
If you happen to be on the look out for an exercise bike, a good option before you can be to buy one that has been used a little bit and then put away. Your local classified may have several listings for stationary bikes or other equipments like treadmills and home gyms. One may have honest intentions when they buy these, but reality can be something else and it soon becomes a tough battle to hold on to your motivation. It is only when one has an iron will to get back to healthy ways and to workout on a daily basis that these equipments get to be used regularly. Or it will end up in a remote corner of your home, which is also why there is a good chance of you coming across a great deal on exercise equipment that has been sparingly used and is in perfect shape.
