I prefer an hour a day on a stationary bike.

“I prefer an hour a day on a stationary bike.”

I prefer dementia to 6 miles every day.

Easier on the joints. I just checked...I’m averaging 6,000 per day for a month. I need to get the bike out.

We use the stationary bike when it’s just too cold to go outside for an hour to walk. That happens some, but even in the winter, we found out we can really bundle up and take a walk. The fresh air is amazing. We even found it was easier to walk for an hour in the winter than it is on the hottest summer days. Those were wretched.

I do think the bike is a good workout, and different, but I’m not certain it helps with balance as much as walking or hiking. I wonder why the study didn’t mention the bike exercise as an option.

Or, get a dog and go on hikes with it.

Ah hour all at once or do you break it up into two sessions?
