I stare blankly when on an exercise bike.. mostly deep in thoughts. It’s therapeutic.[/quote]

I play word games and mahjong online everyday separately. When walking on the threadmill, I listen to the music and reading. Basically doing anything is great as long as time passes quickly during a workout. However, you have given me the idea that perhaps I can combine my gaming time with exercise time....saves time!!

OMG. I just found a perfect way to distract myself on the threadmill. I got an Android TV and have been playing Sudoko everyday while I'm walking on the threadmill. Totally engrossing and I have been going over 10km everyday. The speed is set at brisk walking at 6km only but it is effective. Total workout for mind and body

Gosh! Was it 2015 when I was looking to get an exercise bike? I did get one (Oto) and have been using it since. Very lightly and not too frequently (1-2 times a week for max 30 mins each time). The elastic has loosened and the display doesn't work now. I still use it as a means to get a little movement into my day, but the way I use it really doesn't count as any major exercise! I just like it because I can get that little movement in while reading a book!

Oops... I saw this only now... after six year :oops:

I still have the vibrating platform... but I have not touched it. It is, in my opinion, totally useless. Just do some walking regularly and you'll see the benefits after a few months. I did buy a sit up bench some years back and started using it every day about 3 months ago. I think the returns from that bench is much more than the vibrating thing.

About the standing posture, I also read that bent knees is the proper way, deceive the brain that one is falling and hence the muscles work to prevent that, burning calories in the process.


But true ah?

How much kilo has Mrs CKS lost?

I didn't know about that. Just that by experimenting, the vibration effect is greater if I bend my knees. Honestly, I don't think either me nor Mrs CKS has spent enough time on that thing for any real effect. I bought it primarily because I want my kidneys to get a workout as I'm a regular \"stone former\". But tell you what. I'll go on it daily for at least 15mins for a couple of weeks and report back to see if there is any effect

Buying 2nd hand is a good idea, especially if the seller still looks lumpy and fat since that shows that the equipment was probably unused

Queenstown. Jmall seems to be in Tuas? No way to get there without a car! I don't much care about brands, but would want something that isn't too flimsy and is durable. I wonder if buying 2nd hand would be an idea, but it means having to go and look and then arrange transport.

The Jmall I went to was in Ubi. Not sure if they are still there.

Where do you stay, slmkhoo? I don't recall seeing branded stuff at Jmall, though I must say I'm a complete noob in terms of branded stuff for exercise equipment. But I did think their prices were pretty reasonable. At least those which I enquired were between the $200-$500 range.


Take your time in evaluating these things, because they can end up as white elephants very easily. So no point getting expensive branded stuff unless you have the discipline to use it regularly.

[quote=\"Jennifer\"]slmkhoo, u see anything u like at Kettler?

Very expensive! Aibi is so much cheaper. I am not willing to pay so much as I will be light user. Will continue looking for a while. I also plan to check if my parent's \"towel hanger\" bike is fixable! If so, I will \"borrow\" it.
