Your Questions About Exercise Bike Cycle
Maria asks…
What is the best way 2 motivate myself to exercise?It’s usually months before I’ll give into my nagging guilt
I’ve read the 100 benefits of exercise but still can’t get motivated. I hate to sweat, (sweating is unnatural) exercise is monotonous. I lead a sedentary lifestyle and I hate doing physical work.
I have a house full of exercise equipment I hardly use. A bench press with leg extension, an exercise bike, a hula hoop, an ab roller, barbells and dumbells, a skipping rope, dozens of instructional tapes from aerobics, yoga, dance to muscle-building. I’ve tried making exercise routine interesting by watching tv or listening to e-book on the exercise bike but my interest only lasts for one week tops and I would stop for months and then the whole cycle begins again where I have to force myself to work out. How do I stay committed to it and work out consistently? Most of my clothes don’t fit anymore and my tummy is bigger than my chest. And I still don’t feel like huffing & puffing & sweating.

I am a trainer. I have students just like you. Only yourself can help and that’s will power. My advice is start your work-out once a week first, and say do a brisk walk for 5-10 min. In that way, you don’t sweat too much. Just increase the duration and do it more frequently over time. If you rush and are unable to adapt, you will give up, again.

Cycling: What’s wrong with the exercise bike?
It’s far too cold & far too much snow outside to be biking so I’ve been using this

which my brother bought… But it’s horrible. It’s making a continuous loud noise when peddling & sometimes I can’t peddle at all. So… I’m guessing the problem is simple but what specifically is it?
I’d really appreciate help…

Hi, Not too familiar with that make but most probably its the bottom bracket which needs a service. If its chain drive – then have a look at the drive system and if its loose.
But honestly to do proper indoor cycling you need a spinning bike with a fixed gear.
Susan asks…
does my exercise bike work?
first i enter my weight and height. then i cycle on it’s hardest setting (lvl 8 ) for about 40 min and it says i have burn about 1250 calories.
it also says i’m cycling at 20 km/h even though i’m not cycling very fast.
does this machine work properly?
ps. the make is reebok
admin answers:
Check to see if the weight calibration is in pounds or kilograms. If you enter your weight in pounds when the machine is expecting kilograms, your calories burned will be out. If the machine gives speed in kilometers per hour, it is likely you should enter your weight in kilograms
