Minibike for leg excersice

When its bad weather outside then you can train your legs and heart on a minibike like this. You can even put it on a table and train your arms and shoulders with it. I have one like this at home a train my legs and hgeart with it and now I begin to feel better strength in my legs and generally better health thanks to this minibike. I havent got my three wheel cargobike yet so I use this until I get it and I train 30-40 minutes on this everyday.

Yep I got one as well, not the same brand, but the same type of, bike pedal machine basically. But I need to use it more often and on a steady schedule

@twiigss Do as I do...grab a chair to sit on and train your legs with it about 30 to 40 minutes everyday. You will feel much more strenght in legs and heart and generally get a much better health in just one or two weeks. Put it on a table and train your arms and shoulders with it too.

@Mathias I was doing 20 minutes 3 days a week Mon, Tues, Wed with the legs only

@twiigss Good...have you noticed any better strenght in your legs and heart?

@Mathias the heart I dunno about, legs I was able to stand up from a squatting position without using something else to stand, but I haven't worked out in a while now
Mathias · 51-55, M
@twiigss Then make a schedule and follow that, and try a higher mode too to get more strengh there are 8 modes 1 is lightest 8 is slowest. The higher the mode and the greater the inertia, the more strength in the legs, heart you will get and you also burn more calories. If you train on it about 30 to 40 minutes everyday two or four times a day you will very fast notice big positive differencies. Our bodies are not built to sit still.

@Mathias my machine doesn't have mode settings. It has a tensioner knob you turn to tighten which adds tension but it's so squeaky and loud

@twiigss Is it a very old bike I would buy a new one they´re not that expensive nowadays.
