but dumbells or a treadmill. exercise bike has got to be the most boring cardio ever, all you do is move ur legs, quite the boring man, if u can get an elliptical for that price, go for it, though probably wouldnt last long at that price, so i would suggest that you buy a skipping rope, weights, some cardio dvds, sometin like billy blanks or p90x ftw.

get a magnetic bike ,one that is programmable. i have one (bought from carefour too a long time ago). programs mean it adjusts the resistances via magnet to stimulate terrain.

The suggestion of real bike is not realistic. He already states that he likes jogging but can't because he come home late. So it is the same issue with real biking.

A major factor about getting a real bike is that our Malaysian roads (and drivers) are not made for cyclists (or pedestrians).

Actually honestly, for men and women who are interested in keeping fit at home without the fuss of using weight training, I still find three things the best.

1. A punching bag.
2. A skipping rope.
3. A simple adjustable dumbbell.

I've used this on a few men that looked like a mix of Michelin man and a hippo and in about 3 months, they lost a lot of fat. Good shit.

I second that.

I was in Holland a couple of years ago and they have good road planning for bikers. There's bicycle lanes on both sides of the road and so many people cycled. There were rows and rows of bicycles and you would never find a fat Dutchman.

Was very nice to cycle around without having to worry about getting hit.

Friend,

Thanks for the idea.

1. I like punching bag. But i'm renting a house and the owner is not fond of me hanging those bags.
2. I tried skipping but my left knee suffered from a football injury. skipping is very painful for me.
3. dumbells? I have 2 sets already.

My focus is mainly on stamina, endurance and the ability to run to the office on time. muahahahah.

If you guise know how Bodypump is, just get a short bar with plates. Do that for 1 hour daily, is enough to kill you. It's even more effective than machines. But you will cry (for newbie). laugh.gif

Sometimes we special request, we tell the instructor we wanna do shoulder, bicep or tricep, she/he will demonstrate.

Guys, where can I get electric bicycle for a cheap price? I don't need all those branded or ''state of art'' type, just simple with speed/distance monitor and different gear setup.. preferably in penang or kedah.
