Jamie's Ramblings

Well, we got an exercise bike today.  My mom needed something to strengthen and exercise her legs... and I've been wanting a bike for awhile lately. Nothing quite like sitting on your ass to exercise, lol. I kind of reached a standstill in my travels through Stargate SG-1 (and, uhh, still haven't gotten around to BSG), so I'm planning on popping that in everyday and using the bike while I watch it, kill 2 birds with one stone. And then later when I'm all skinny, I can attribute my success to Stargate, lol. Maybe I can do commercials like Jared (Subway). Or... maybe not.

It also has a nifty book/magazine holder, so I can read my Voyager books if I'm not watching dvds. I think boredom is one of the biggest things that kills exercise (well, that along with laziness). That's one thing I love about recumbent bikes, there's so much you can do while you're on them... Which probably means you're not getting as much of a workout as you would on other things (like the elliptical)... but something's better than nothing, right?

It was the last one at the store and the box was really messed up, so they knocked some of the money off the price, which was nice. I hope everything's alright inside. It looked more like it was torn from being scraped against something, rather than being thrown or tossed around. And everything looks alright at first glance, so I think it'll be ok.
