I’ve had a programme at the gym done out for me by my fitness instructor but there’s a lot of cardio in it which I hate, it’s just that I find it hard to keep up the pace for a prolonged period of time. For instance, I’ve to keep a speed of 8 or over for fifteen minutes on the cross trainer. First couple of minutes – fine but it’s so hard when you’ve to keep it up for several minutes after! When the instructor has given me this I assume that my body is fit enough or physically able to do this, motivation to keep going is my big problem! How do you guys keep yourselves going for fifteen/twenty minutes when it’s SO hard!!

My Health What can you do with a Batchelor’s Degree in Exercise Science?
April 16th, 2010
My Health I have my BS in Exercise Science. I am a recent grad, and I am looking to go to physical therapy soon at some point, but before I enter a Doctorate program in PT, I want to get some experience in my field. I know that with my degree I can work in corporate fitness or in places such as the YMCA, but is there anything else I can do with my degree??? This is a hard degree to find a decent job with!
Schwinn 220 or 240 recumbent exercise bike comparison?
April 16th, 2010
My Health I’m looking at getting one for weight loss/general fitness. And was looking between these two models. The 240 has some additional programs, a heavier flywheel and a color screen but I’m not sure if any of that will make any difference to me. Anyone have the 220 and can provide some opinions?
I had hoped to find both at a store to compare but I can’t seem to find both at one location. They either have various combinations of the Schwinn models, but never those two side by side. If anyone knows a store in the Philly suburbs, I’d appreciate that too!
Thank you Bob, actually there are a couple things about that. The price of the 240 is actually $450 most places ($350 for the 220, and $400 for the older 230 model being phased out), Amazon seems to have ‘run out’ and it defaulted to one of their stores that has it at full retail, hence the $700 pricetag. The other thing I noticed was the options you listed from the comparison chart seem inaccurate (not because of you), if you look at the photos of the console, the 220 has the Interval time, rpm, etc listed as well. I noticed them before while comparing the screens online.
Sorry about that, I should have mentioned those details as one of the reasons I was looking for someone that knew the models personally. As the facts listed online seem a bit suspect.
Question about exercise equipment? Thanks :)?
