Riding a Bike…

My husband and I are not real active people, other than chasing our kids of course.  Well he has been re-vamping our workout room so it is more inviting to us.  Right now with me being pregnant I am too tired to workout, yes its an excuse, but my husband is just the opposite.  He is all about getting back into shape and eating right, I have to wonder if looking at my growing belly and appetite makes him want to get into shape!

So anyway we have a very old treadmill, Total Gym, and a yoga ball (although there is not any room to really do any yoga or Pilates!  Now my husband is talking about getting one of those indoor bikes.   I have never rode one before, but my husband says they are great and used to ride one at the gym.  I don’t know what the best exercise bike to buy would be and we would have to figure out how to fit it in the workout room.  I actually wouldn’t mind trying one out, or maybe a recumbent bike, but it does seem like a big expense for us now.  I haven’t really ridden a bike since I got my drivers license at sixteen!  I would love to be able to go on family bike rides when the kids are a little bigger, but I definitely need something to get started on remembering how to ride one!  Yes I know a regular bike would be great, but in Chicago we have pretty off and on again weather so I figure an indoor bike for a few years would put my husband and me exactly where we need to be!
