This past May, I received my stationary exercise bike. Since that time, I’ve ridden over 1000 miles. I ride my bike daily for at least an hour. This purchase was because I was unable to go to the gym because of COVID. I’m enjoying the at-home workouts. I’ve always worked out at home, but now I do it exclusively. When my gym finally reopened, I did not return. I would have returned if the rules for being in the sauna weren’t so restrictive. At my gym, you can only be in there for ten minutes at a time. To truly receive the health benefits from the sauna, the time suggested is much higher.
Besides my stationary bike, I also purchased two Specialized mountain bikes in August, one for myself and my daughter. The stationary bike, combined with mountain bikes, exercise bands, and an exercise wheel, are more than enough ways to keep me physically fit.
Our gym is owned by the local hospital and has not opened and doesn’t have a projected opening date. We’ve been members there since 1992.
Since the gym was closed and we were getting into the warmer months, we bought a Nordic Track treadmill in June. We use it regularly, walking several miles every day. I’m usually on it a couple of hours a day. That’s when I do my streaming video watching.
We are staying home except for grocery shopping, an occasional trip to the home improvement store, and medical-related appointments. The last has probably been the most between regular appointments with 2 doctors, blood tests, cataract surgeries, dental, and a fall that left me with bruised ribs.
Stay safe!

Treadmills are great. I considered purchasing one of those, however, I decided on the stationary bike.
We go out at least four times weekly. Although it’s cold, I’m still making the effort to ride my mountain bike. I just wear layers so I can ride in the cold weather. My daughter usually joins me.
I hope you’re fully healed and wishing you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, and stress-free year.
What a great accomplishment!

Thanks, I’m happy about that. I missed being in the gym during the shutdown in our state, however, I just improvised and did all my workouts at home.
