I don't have bad knees in general.
When I was only 21 I tried a cheap nasty exercise bike. It hurt my knees to use it. I had a BMI of 20 then and was very fit as in walking miles everywhere. I stopped using bike quite quickly.
Roll on 20+ years and my BMI is 31. I must lose weight.
I live in a horrible climate. I do what I can but sometimes days pass when I really don't get out as much as I'd like. My house is very small so even cleaning it doesn't quite get me the activity I need.
I should be getting on with the business of losing weight as a matter of urgency.
Oh and our ceilings are low and I am very tall which rules out a treadmill which I'd prefer. Unless I housed it outside in a cold shed.
Or should I try another exercise bike and I can pedal away in home comforts watching TV?
Do you think the original uncomfortable bike was because it was a cheap nasty piece of crap? If I spend more and get a magnetic fly wheel thingy would that help?
Also, cycling is not weight-bearing. So isn't that rather a waste of exercise? Or should I be concentrating on the calorie burn first?
Thanks.
