    Default Convenient Exercise!

    I was really struggling getting in my exercise.

    With my weird schedule (work, full-time university student, life in general), I was having a hard time getting to the gym.

    I was sleeping/working through the day, and when I finally had time to workout (late), the gym was closed, and this area isn't safe enough for running outside late. My campus apartment is way too tiny to fit any major equipment, so that was out too.

    Well, a friend recommended a "mini-bike". Wal-Mart had one cheap, so I picked it up, and I LOVE it.

    It's basically just pedals, and it pretty much puts you in the same position as a stationary bike.

    It's awesome; it fits under my desk, so I pedal away while reading for classes, typing papers, surfing the net, watching TV...

    The weight has MELTED off. I'm sure I'm not working as hard as I do when I'm at the gym, but because I do this during a lot of my daily activities, I end up pedaling for HOURS, without even realizing I'm exercising!

    I highly recommend:

    LOL I never said it was strenuous exercise!

    But it adds up, especially if you're like me and study/watch TV/surf StripperWeb for long periods of time.

    I've thought about getting one of these, too. I work a desk job (more like a couch job, since I work from home most days) and it's hard trying to find a good time to take a break. I also live in a 1BR and don't have room for exercise equipment.

    Guess I know where I'm going tomorrow--Walmart!

    wow, thats a really good idea - you guys are so smart
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I noticed that Walmart also has free ship-to-store for this product online, so that's helpful.

    With all the time I spend reading, watching TV, and surfing the net, probably 2 or 3 hours a day, sometimes more.
