blondesmiler Posted February 20, 2009 Posted February 20, 2009 I have one at home, a good one. I have taken to using it while watching a movie (I live alone so not an issue) only thing its not great to sit on for ages so do 10mins at time upto a total of upto 40-50mins. How much is enough or not enough? I do other exercise aswell also do arm weights and exercises while on the bike which increases my heart rate more.
kdark Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I do an hour of cardio on it everyday. It does wonders for me.
Enema Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 About 30 minutes is good, but you need to maintain a decent bpm. Maybe 130+ or it's not worth it.

Is that what OPD stands for on the display, its the only one that isn't obvious what it is. I have: Time Calories Speed Pulse OPD Distance ????????????
clv0116 Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 Bikes never worked for me, I have to use a treadmill, but if you can keep at it then go for it. However 10 minutes at a shot isn't really the thing to do. You want at least 20 contiguous minutes, 45 is better.
