why would a guy who lives by one of the most awesome beaches need something like that?

Looking to purchase a bike so i can start getting my cardio in fasted before work. I'm an early bird so for sure I'll put it to use, plus I'll be more inclined to put more time in rather than my usual preworkout cardio i always bail on after 15 mins to go lift lol.
Found this guy, thoughts and opinions?

I know you don’t bail early at the gym. I meant bail early on the cardio at the gym! Walk and curl man... walk and curl.

Get a real bicycle and go outside. Pussy.

we aren't cool like that jack..
and to be clear I'm talking about 5 am cardio, coffee in hand kind of deal.
anyways, I'm gonna do some price matching and most likely go with the bike i posted, seems solid enough to get the job done.

I'm a little surprised people aren't all for it man. Think about, gonna sit and watch a movie? Hop on the bike and watch. 30 mins in the AM while sipping your coffee? Hop on the bike. It's like free cardio time.

I had a brutal leg day today, so this is a tough conversation right now.
Like going grocery shopping after hitting a buffet.
But that’s a pretty cool idea. We do family movie night at home, and it would be pretty cool to divide the movie time by number of people watching, and each person gets that amount of time on the bike while we watch it.
It’s tough as hell to get everyone in the family plenty of exercise in the winter.

If u train in the gym (weights) with the mindset it’s gonna be coffee in hand movie time u may as well not do it.. cardio training is no different it needs a level of intensity and focus to get results.At 6 5 270 I don’t expect gibs to be running up hills but put some damn effort into it

Who said it would be effortless? How could it be pointless? The man didn’t say it’s replacing whatever cardio he’s getting in the gym, he’s looking to maximize his time. Rather than sit at the table being ghey in the chat box at 5am sipping his latte, he could be peddling on a bike. I fail to see how that can’t be helpful.

On the flip side if that, I totally agree that cardio needs to treated no differently than lifting. I may be wrong but I’m taking what gibs is saying as the stationary bike at home would be a supplement to his current cardio routine.

Lol Richard Simmons

I'm taking what you said to heart though. My personal cardio has been lackluster and more going through the motions than intense. I clearly need to ramp it up!
