Yeah don’t get too excited… this one is self-powered and doesn’t go anywhere! I finally decided to retire an ancient stair-stepper I ahem… occasionally use for cardio exercise. Frankly I avoid using it, its death on my knees and isn’t very well built in the first place. After looking at what’s available I decided to go with a recumbent exercise bike. I used a similiar model as part of my physical therapy recovering from my broken ankle.

So this bad boy Schwinn Model 223 has been ordered from Nautilus and should be here in a week or two. I’m going to re-arrange my living room a bit to make room for it there. I figure that way I can watch TV while I work out.
