Question #4: How should I exercise on the exercise bike????????
I am trying to lose 10lbs through a fitness and
healthy eating regime. Unfortunately I am quite
unfit, and I find that walking very briskly is the
best way for me to exercise without giving up due
to tirednes. However, it is coming into winter and
it gets dark here at about 6 o' clock, so it not
really safe for me to walk at this time, also I am
taking an important exam this year, so exercising
in the house would be much easier to fit into my
schedule. My family has an exercise bike, and try
to make an effort to use it, however unfortunately
I find it extremely boring. I cannot do vigorous
peddling for more than 20 secs without giving up.
Can anybody give me some tips about what way to
exercise on it, that is I would REALLY appreciate
it if you could give me a detailed plan of how
exactly to do it, e.g. 3 minutes at this many rpm
followed by..The functions on my bike are rpm,
speed , time and distance (doesn't say what unit
used,I presume km as this is Ireland) Please help
me!!!Sorry, forgot to add that my bike also has up
to 15 levels of resistance! As I mentioned before,
I really would appreciate help!
Answer: Get a TV in front of it and watch your favorite
show/movie.Ipod or other music device.Book.I
started out at Level One Manual/Hills for a week
then went up to level Two, etc...

Question #5: Interval training on an Exercise Bike?
I will begin interval training on my exercise
stationary bike at home soon/eventually. Im
building my stamina and basic fitness first from
scratch by building my time to 30 or 45 mins max
at moderate intensity of maybe 60-70% HR.My
question is that once i am used to being on the
bike for 30 mins or 45 mins max (depending by then
as to what feels right) how then should I begin my
interval training, ie can someone help recommend
what the basic interval session could be and thus
how to then improve on this and then what the end
point is if there will be:eg: Time of the whole
session, how many interval and how many rests both
of how long and also why you recommend this to
begin with and why you suggest
expanding/increasing it in the way you
suggest.Thank you in advance xps: Any websites to
help will be appreciated too thanks (sites that
offer guidline as to how to begin and progess
ideally please) x
Answer: Start with three minutes easy riding, warm up, two
minutes moderate, one minute fast, two minute
moderate, one minute fast, one minute moderate, 30
seconds fast, one minute moderate, thirty seconds
fast, two minute moderate, 1 minute fast, two
minute moderate, three minutes slow. alternating
cycles like this burns more fat, while not over
training muscle to maintain an anabolic state.More
or less cycles depending on your goals.Your heart
rate can be less involved with this system, but
here are some basics on HR. Beginners-your RHR
(resting heart rate) should not exceed a 50%
increaseIntermediate-60% RHRElite-70%Hope this
helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Question #6: Looking for a PC Compatable exercise bike?
I am looking for a recumbent bike that has the
ability to interface with a computer via usb to
track my exercise results. Even a good piece of
software to do this would be appreciated (mac
osx)I have found a few bikes, but I am looking for
something in the sub $750 range.A few things
popped into my head..How hard would it be to
modify an existing exercise bike to transmit the
stuff it dumps into it's computer into mine? Is
there any sort of kit I can attach to any
recumbent bike to track the statistics?Thanks for
your time.
Answer: Several ways to go but the recumbent might make
things difficult. A power meter is the best
system. Check out the link for several brands and
prices. A PowerTap rear hub could be built up for
the recumbent which will tell you everything you
need to know and then some. The cheapest PowerTap
system is less than a grand. Look on EBay for
deals. Software is free with the PowerTap system.
Cycling Peaks software ($100) also works with any
power meter system currently available.There is
also plenty of trainers that hook to a computer.
Performance and Nashbar both carry one. Your
recumbent would work on them too.

Question #8: walking or exercise bike, which is better?
im on a diet and trying to lose weight, about 50
pounds, im 27 5'7 and 220. i know everyone says a
brisk walk in the morning jumpstarts your
metabolism for the day, so my question is...is
riding an exercise bike in the morning as good as
going for a walk, i wake up at 430 am so i would
rather do the bike thing in my home rather than go
outside so early for a walk, but if the walking is
much better then i will do that. so im wondering
if they are the same or is one better than the
other?
Answer: From what I heard, walking is better because it
puts your whole body into motion.Your arms move
with your legs as you walk.You just move your legs
when you bike.

Question #10: Exercise Bike?
I am unsure what kind to buy. I have had a stroke
and I also have High BP but want to buy one to
ride during winter. Has anyone bought an AirBike
where you can change resistance. What is the best
kind to buy. I also have hip problems so don't
want to aggrivate them.
Answer: This past March we bought a bike and love it its
adjustable made really well and you sit in it more
like a chair than a bike so you can ride it
longer. heres the link.
