I have wanted a stationary cycling bike ever since I graduated from college. When I ran on the cross country team in college, we used them almost daily as a source of cross training. Training for my first marathon last summer, Trevor and I lived at an apartment that had a gym. They didn’t have a cycling bike but I made good use of the elliptical.
Now that we have moved and I am trying to get back in to shape I have been wanting one for months. Using an indoor cycling bike is always an extra cardio workout after I complete my run. Thus, it is always a struggle for me to pack up my butt and go to a gym right after I finish a run. It is so much easier for me to just hop on the bike after my run at home.
This makes me 100% more likely to add cross training to my day and my workout. It will also help me to add two a days since everything will be right there at home and I won’t waste time traveling to the gym and back.

My First Ride
My first ride was great! It was smooth riding and quiet. The foot pedals have straps around them that held my feet in place. The bike seat was larger than a normal cycling bike which offered more comfort. The bike was able to adjust exactly how I needed it for my body length and type. When I started my workout, the monitor was able to track my time, speed, distance, calories burned, and odometer. There was also a spot to place my phone so I could listen to music or watch a video. When I was all done, the bike was easy to move with the transportation wheels. I was very impressed with this bike. I think this is going to make all the difference for me in training for my next marathon!
My Recommendation
After receiving this bike, I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an inexpensive indoor stationary cycling bike. It is Amazon’s second choice for stationary bikes and has over a 1,000 reviews with a 4.5. I think this is a great addition for your home gym and a great tool for working out and getting that cardio in!

My Easy Biking Workout
1-2-3-3-2-1
Warm up: 5 minute
Work out:
1 min pick up; 1 min recovery
2 min pick up; 1 min recovery
3 min pick up; 1 min recovery
3 min pick up; 1 min recovery
2 min pick up; 1 min recovery
1 min pick up; 1 min recovery
Cool Down: 3 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
This workout is great because you can adjust it to your level. A pick up can either mean you pedal faster, you can crank up the resistance, or you stand up to pedal. If you want a longer work out just repeat the sequence or just repeat half of it! It is all up to you.
