I've started my exercise plan!

[CTyankee]

Since I don't want to walk, I've gotten a stationary bike. It has a back and side bars as well as bars in front. I got it because we're both elderly, I wanted something I would do and I noticed that during physical therapy i always continued to pedal the bike even after the timer went off, because I got engrossed in the television program).

So I am starting out at 15 minutes twice a day and increasing it 30 minutes twice a day.

Hopefully, this will be a good workout since I am elderly. As soon as my pool opens up, I'll be swimming a couple of times a week also.

I'll let you all know how the bike works out.

3. Good for you.

Your plan of using a stationary bike, is perfect for any weather. Biking, at home, with swimming added in later on, is excellent. Best wishes to you.

4. My swimming pool is marvelous and it is indoors!

It is also very large, perfect for doing laps. It is at my college so as an alumnae I get a discount! Unfortunately, it has been closed due to Covid but it might open up soon.

5. tips for you

log your minutes on a big calendar......try to shoot for at least four days a week - I swear this helps with motivation

also, on days you think to yourself you don't want to do it......dress anyways like you will.......that helps with motivation too

9. The motivation comes from being able to do it while watching something I like on TV.

I kinda forget I'm EXERCIZING. I used to love Jazzercise because I could just do the dance moves which i thought were fun.

6. If you want to really get a good work out in, watch Fox News as you pedal.

When you want to really level up.....OAN!

7. It's great and not that hard to do

We have one that's recumbent (which makes it comfier on your tush). I started upping the resistance a few months ago and it made all the difference in my weight-loss program (diet alone wasn't working). Twelve pounds so far.
Mine has a little book stand and I either read a book or from iPad.

10. What kind and brand name is it?

My old stationary bike broke down, so I bought a new one, a "Pooboo" W268.

11. It's a JEEKEE Recombent Magnetic Exercise Bike

It looks just like your Pooboo. Mine was on sale and free delivery, which was great. But I called our handyman to assemble it. He does a lot at our house.
