If your dog starts barking at your exercise bike, don’t
be alarmed. That’s what happens when something else vies for the role of your
best friend, and your exercise bike is going hard to make its case.
Could your exercise bike be your new best friend? Here are the stats:
Dog: Curls up at your feet.
Exercise Bike: Tones your glutes and legs. It develops your quads every time you push a pedal down and strengthens your hamstrings when you bring it back up – plus it’s a lot gentler on bone joints than your dog is.
Exercise bike: Sheds up to 300 calories in 30 minutes. A 20-minute interval workout was found by Australian researchers to significantly decrease fat levels in the trunks, abdomens and even internal organs of test subjects.
Dog: Sheds on your couch.
Exercise Bikes: lowers blood pressure, increases good cholesterol, banishes bad cholesterol, strengthens your heart, oxygenates your blood and elevates your mood every time you hop on.
Dog: Makes funny leg circles every time you rub its hip.
