My Treadmill Is Twittering! The Next Frontier for Connected Devices: The Gym

I am so glad that I am older than most who visit, and read, and sometimes contribute to this Forum. This means I will probably be "checking out" sooner, thereby avoiding even more nonsense to come in our ONE world.

This is just the tip, Ms. Tom. Merely the tip.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for Z-Health; the RKC; the great outdoors of Arizona, and the few friends I have!

Lord come quickly.

Peter.

i'm not keen on the posture positioning on the bikes, but the recumbents are ok.
there are more road - bikey versions of these sort of things, and they are way way cool.

Hello, mc:

If you actually decide to take a recumbent out on the road, make sure you fly a nice, tall pennant (preferably Air Sea Rescue Orange) atop your rear fender. A buddy of mine---a paraplegic triathlete---got wasted on Ali`i Drive in Kailua-Kona by a nice woman, who just did not see him turning into her(?) lane. (No pennant installed)

Regards,
Peter.

Throw in a few monsters and a chain-saw and this could make for a very fun workout...

exactly so. i'll settle for pursuit, but ya why not also put your hormonal system into total freak out - may even mobilize more fat.

Here they are

I have used them....Not bad, if you are into those things. You have to change gears and all that. The one problem that I had was that my butt fell asleep on those seats.

I used them at Family Fitness in NPR and they have them in the Powerhouse in Channelside.

That was your first association too?

Reminded me of that game they had... House of the Dead, was it?

I couldn't agree more I hate gyms now.
