| Would like to get the advice of Ronin and others on the following.
1. I already have a treadmill and was thinking of buying a stationary bike to (a) exercise a different set of muscles and (b) add variety to my indoor exercise program. How effective is the stationary bike in exercising a different set of muscles than those used in walking/mild jogging on the treadmill? Is exercising a different set of muscles worth the time spent and the expense incurred (in buying the bike)? Would just burning calories be enough or should we be particular about exercising as varied a set of muscles as possible?
2. If I buy a stationary bike, which would be better (a) a recumbent type or (b) an upright type?
3. Any other suggestions regarding stationary bike would be welcome.
Regards,
Rad
