When to Buy an Exercise Bike

!: When to Buy an Exercise Bike

The sales of exercise equipment and gym memberships spike in January, as people across the nation promise themselves and each other that they're going to buckle down, give up the junk food, and get real about exercising. People who work in the fitness industry all know that the money really starts rolling in between January and February, and they capitalize on that by offering all sorts of sales and incentives to attract your attention.

But it doesn't really matter what time of year you buy your exercise bike, what matters is when you feel most comfortable and prepared to start your own home gym. Don't buy an one because it's January second, and you are bound and determined to "get real" about exercising. Buy an one when it is most beneficial and convenient to make the investment of time and money.

There are many reasons why purchasing an exercise bike might be considered beneficial and convenient. If you are seeking a high-impact aerobic exercise without going to the gym, an upright bike is a great investment. If you wish to remain in shape during a harsh winter when you can't ride your regular bike outdoors, it would be wise to invest in one. If you are beginning physical therapy for your legs or back, or if you wish to save money on a gym membership are two more reasons to purchase one. When to buy an exercise bike depends heavily on what you intend to use it for, when you intended to use it, and how often you plan to ride it.
