Spring selection: Hybrid bike

Spring has sprung and surely you are thinking about getting outside and enjoying the little bit of nice weather that we are going to have. Riding in front of the television on your stationary bike can get old very quickly and you are long overdue for an outdoor ride. At this point, you might be questioning whether you should go for a lightweight road bike or a heavy duty mountain bike. It all really depends on what you intend on doing. Do you hope to do a lot of inner city rides and long road trips or do you aim to get on rugged terrain and venture off onto obscure trails?

A new breed of stationary bikes

I m in once-in-an-election-cycle gym kind of guy, so on my most recent trip to pay to work out, I was surprised by what I found. Gone were the clunky, kitchen timer-adorned stationary bikes that whirred when you rode them and dinged when you were done. In their place: high tech and, dare I say, luxurious pieces of exercise equipment fit for a king. Surely personal exercise equipment doesn t advance that fast?! But it s true. Technologically advanced stationary bikes may not have sprung up out of nowhere, but a flood of trendy spin classes and more developed home gyms have clearly pushed the machines to the forefront of personal fitness.

Valentine’s Day: Surprise! You’re Alone!

If you re one of those types that spend more money on kitten food and cat litter than you do on dates, then you are more than likely gearing up for another Valentine s Day all by your lonesome. But don t worry we have just what you need in order to prevent you from eating an entire carton of ice cream and watching crappy Romantic Comedy movies that make you feel even more pathetic and alone. The best way to get feeling better about yourself and inspire a little confidence is exercise. As little as 20 minutes of cardio activity will release endorphins and increase serotonin levels in your brain, putting you in a better mood and giving you higher levels of energy. If you keep up an exercise routine combined with a sensible and nutritious diet you will also gain confidence from looking more fit. Consider a stationary bike or workout DVD to jumpstart your exercise routine. Another tried and true method of increasing your self-confidence (although far less healthy) is to take ...
