My New Chair

Yesterday I was in town and decided it was TIME.  Time to get active.  I bought a new bike 2 years ago and I have only ridden it about 4 times.  I paid a lot of money for it, don't want it stolen AND I didn't want to get it dirty!  Okay, really dumb excuse but *blush* its true!

I have been chatting with my son who is into working out - we don't always get to the gym as it takes a lot of time out of our day/evening.  So what better way than to bring the gym to us.
This is what I have done so far...
I have removed a chair out of the living room and bought a stationary stand for my bike that has tension.  I can ride to my hearts content while watching TV or a movie, not sure if I could attempt playstation 3! Or maybe try upper body workouts with the Wii!. 
My physio therapist told me I needed to strengthen my knee and cycling was the way to do it.


I tried it out last night and Karl walked into the room and turned into Jillian (trainer from biggest loser)  I told him to watch out or I will make him go on the bike! LOL

Jeff just made himself a pull up bar that he plans to set up in the basement - we also have a punching bag that needs to be set up.  I am looking for other tidbits to add to our home gym to work different muscles.
Now to just use it.
