Jaaromy and I both need exercise, obviously, but we've grown tired of the treadmill. Also, for me, I wanted something really low-impact. Just in case. So I looked into getting an exercise bike.

This one was the cheapest, but doesn't it look just super uncomfortable? That has got to be the most unnatural sitting position I have ever seen. I want to tell the model that she doesn't have any belly fat so she can just stop sucking in, it's not helping the product.

Then we saw this one. Same model, slightly less uncomfortable-looking sitting position. We figured that with the wide seat and laid back position, it would be much more comfortable and we would thus be more likely to use it. So I ordered it.
Side note: I've decided that, while I love Wal-mart's site-to-store service, it was a little embarrassing for my non-skinny self to cart exercise equipment through the store, with help from an employee. I'm just sayin'.
So I got it home and started putting it together. Jonathan was such a sweetheart and offered to help me. When we finished, I was trying it out a bit and Jonathan said "I wish I could sit on it and think." I asked him if he wanted to sit on it and he said yes. So he did. And he thought.
I'm not sure what he was thinking about, but what a great place to think.
All I have to say is that model has definitely not had 4 kids! I wish the body came with the machine! Good luck. Let me know how you like the bike.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful new take on The Thinker! Print and frame that one, it's brilliant.
ReplyDeleteJonathan has the right idea, that's my favorite thing to do on a bike, think, not actually ride:) Enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Heather. Thinking is all I want to do on the bike. Just kidding. I think it will be fun. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI wish I knew what he was thinking. One of these days he's going to come up with something great!
