Have you used a stationary bike? If so, do you recommend?
I need to move my legs but I don't have place to walk or run; I'm not going outside, it's shit.
@kaiservenom @Tfmonkey I personally enjoy more running than biking so I run in home basement where I have space
for distance around 9-10 steps
I do it many times I can.
There is video what we did in school It is something similar but more in one line
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
I suggest an elliptical with an adjustable resistance setting with a tv screen hooked to the internet in front of it
The primary difference between a exercise bike and elliptical is that you do not sit down so it hurts your butt less
An Elliptical or Exercise Bike can do the same number of calories per hour as a treadmill with a lower maximum force on the joints
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
When you pick up your foott while running or walking there is zero force followed by a huge amount of force when the foot touches the ground
This means if the average force with respect to time is the same on an elliptical, treadmill or exercise bike then the maximum force at any moment in time is greater with the trearmill than the other two exercise devices
Treadmill might be better for preventing osteoporosis but injure joints faster
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
It is important that the exercise device can be run bwckwards because if you can only run it forwards you will be in more pain then if you run it the opposite direction every once in a while
Some Ellipticals and Exercise Bikes with electronic systems turn off when you run them backwards
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
On a treadmill it is possible to face the other direction and attach the safety clip to the back of your shirt instead of the front of your shirt
problem is trying to set or adjust the controls or start or stop while facing the wrong way is dangerous
You can also walk sideways on a treadmill which I do not know how to do on an elliptical or exercise bike
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
Walk in a circle
Then walk in a circle the opposite direction
This is bagua martial arts training
You may need to learn how to do spotting technique while walking in circles until you get used to it
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spotting_(dance_technique)
Walking in a small radius circle takes little room
You can also walk forward and then backwards or straight sideways left then straight sideways right over the same small path over & over again
Make sure nothing behind you
@shortstories @Stahesh @kaiservenom yes I have a stationary bike I got from Aldi. It folds away and I can use it while watching videos or waiting for videos to process or upload without leaving my office.
One of the better lifehacks I've found was simply to move things upstairs so that it forces me to run up and down the stairs more often throughout the day.
@Stahesh @kaiservenom @Tfmonkey
If you have limited room and a bed that will not break and want to do leg exercises then you can use it instead of a matt to do pilates and leg raises while lying on your front, back and side
