Guest guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I have used a Schwinn Aerodyne for years. Well, first I tried some of those less expensive ones you can get anywhere for about $100. I ran through two of those in several years. I have had to get my Aerodyne to the shop several times. But it has the arms that move so you get a whole body workout. I actually try to focus on certain muscles so I might push forward with my triceps for one round then pull with my biceps one round then push using my chest muscles one round then pulling with my back muscles one round. And all the while changing the way I run the pedals also. One time the regular way then one time pushing down with the heels then another time like I am pulling my leg up and out then pulling my leg into a curl.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 that is a fine idea you have there. the best time to start riding a no where bike, is right now! I take my pig hat off to you and your choice to live healthy. putting forth the right mind set and attitude to do something about the rest of your healthy life! what you do is get you a box that will fit in your closet out of the way. then every time you lose weight from riding your no where bike, you find a rock that weighs as much as what you just lost. put the rock in the box and leave it there. any time you get a bit on the lazy side and think that you can skip to day or to morrow and not ride your no where bike, just go get that box out of your closet and pick it up. hold it and realize that you have lost that much weight that the box is holding by not skipping days on the no where bike. this little important reminder will help you to continue on the no where bike traveling down the every where trail. rocks are free and our loving God put them here on Mother earth for many reasons. so go find you some free rocks laying all around you and keep them close at hand. when ever you lose some weight find the rock the weighs the same and place it in your reminder box. I use my weights for my reminder. no one is strong enough to never get a thought of skipping time on the exercise equipment of there choice. we are all very human and us humans for the most part are just lazy by nature. I know for me feeling the same pounds in my hands that I have all ready lost is the very thing that keeps me going and keeps me getting back on my no where bike that takes me every where I wish to go! now something else very important to know. just riding your no where bike works for some, but most of us need to listen to a book, read a book, listen to music, watch TV, talk on the phone or one of my favorite things to do is talk to my God in Prayer. we all can get more Prayer time in our life, but we think we are to busy to find the time. well when riding my no where bike is a perfect time to spend time with God just talking with him like he is right there riding his own no where bike be side me on the same trail. you will be amazed how fast the time will fly by when you talk to God while exercising. being thankful for all the blessing in your life. being thankful for all your friends and the family you still have around. thanking God for the right attitude that you have to do something better to control your health and make smarter choices in daily living. thank him for your positive attitude and thinking. most of the time it is our flesh that makes us desire to give up and quit, but some times it is Satan him self trying to convince you to not bother. when this is the case, tell Satan to get behind you in the name of Sweet Jesus and I can assure you the positive feeling will return and you will have the strength to continue on. you to can tie days together just like I have and many others have. you start with one day first, then 2, then 3 and soon you got a week. never skip a day unless you are sick or hurt in some way that would stop you. start out slow with maybe 15 minutes twice a day. do this for a week, then increase your time by say 5 minutes. now you are riding for 20 minutes twice a day. the third week increase it to 25 minutes twice a day. keep doing it this way and sooner then you can believe you will be flying down the trail on your way to losing unwanted pounds! let me know how you are getting along and I will help if I can. If I can't figure out your question and have a answer for you, then I will take it to God in Prayer. now go buy you the right no where bike that meets your needs and one you will use. you and your no where bike will become good buddies and you need to dig each other in order for the relationship to work out. good luck and may God richly bless you as he is still blessing me. Re: My type of no where bike. Okay, Mark, thanks for the information. Will get back to the store and check out the bikes. Dotty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 well my fine Sir! you got it going on the way it sounds to me. every one should go find the piece of exercise equipment that they can afford and that they will spend time on. you are making the best of your equipment and sounds like you have it all figured out. you keep the grate reports coming so others can learn from your example. always some one is watching and listening, so share and help some one else who needs to hear about your success. My type of no where bike. Well each to there own, but I got a bike that the seat is like a chair and the peddles are straight out in front of the chair seat. it is about six foot long and the seat can more closer or farther away, depending on how you like it best. they call it a redundant bike. mine is made for heavy people and is heavy duty swin. suppose to hold up to 350 pounds and cost $500 back in 2006. this one has the computer screen that tells everything you would ever wish to know or need to know about how you are doing. it even has a picture of a girl riding a bike and as you ride, so does her peddles go around. I was told this is the case. I suppose the cute lady is suppose to cause us guys to ride faster and harder so we can catch up with her? the screen is all touch, so if you are total as I am, then you will need to Braille the up, down, start and stop. there is others things you might wish to Braille, but that will be up to what you need. you can increase the tension on the peddles by hitting up one time or more if you really would like it tight to peddle. hitting the down makes the tension lighten up and get easier to peddle. it does have a plug on the front of it that has to be ran with electric to make the computer work. the handles down be side the seat does have a strip on each handle that is suppose to tell you what your palse is on the screen, of course if you can't see it doesn't talk. there is also handles to either side of the computer screen if your arms are longer then mine or if you were sitting very close to the peddles, then you could hang on to them as well. you can find the redunit bike at other stores for a lot less money. Wal-Mart use to carry them for around $150. it is a heavy duty, but will still work if you aren't a huge person. you will need a six foot area though to set it in. they are easy to move around if you need to. I really like mine and would buy another one if this one gets to tired. some folks like the plain up right bike like they use to only have. the seat was right above the peddles and some the handle bars moved and some they stayed in one spot. I never liked these kinds very well and never would ride them as I ride the one I have now. of course look around at different bikes and make sure it is the kind you will ride. even if it cost you a bit more then you wish to spend, it is still better to buy a piece of exercise equipment that you will enjoy exercising on. get on it at the store and ride it for a bit. enough so you will know if it will reach all your requirements in a bike or what ever you get. you can even buy some redunit bikes that the seat will all most lean back, but I didn't see how laying down to ride would keep me awake. mine doesn't have a fan on it, but I heard the new one's do if this is something you would like. I know I would, but just use a fan on the table be side me and that also will work. good luck and happy trails! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your misspellings and bad grammar are an endless source of amusement for us, if that's any consolation.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I love you as well brother. how about you taking this unwanted weight from me that I'm getting rid of? I would like to see you weighing 300 just once, then we will cut it off and you will be back to normal. you know what? if we could really just take off all the weight we desired to in one big lump, how cool would it be to try and pick the big lump up? I would love to see all my discarded fat laying in the middle of my garage in one big pile. would probably be like trying to pick up a big long water balloon. that reminds me of the time I thought instead of sucking all the water out of every tube in my king size water bed, I figured I could just carry them all out to another room until I needed to bring them back and put them in place again. well I'm here to let you know that was a real bad plan. I never knew those little tubes could be so heavy and dain hard to carry. I found out I had to do it the right way which was the way that took all day long and half of the night to get them filled back up with water. I later purchased a new bladder and it was the one big bladder and not those silly tubes. I sure do miss sleeping on a water bed though.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Mark, you have the same problem I have! Not too heavy, just too short for my weight!
