Incumbent Exercise Bike Benefits

Today’s author with https://www.usedfitnesssale.com/ shall discuss the benefits when exercising at home on an incumbent bike. Using an incumbent exercise bike, also known as a recumbent exercise bike, can offer various benefits for individuals looking to engage in cardiovascular exercise and improve their overall fitness.

Here are some of the key advantages:

Low Impact on Joints: Recumbent bikes provide a comfortable and supportive seating position, which reduces stress on the joints, especially the knees and lower back. This makes them an excellent option for people with joint issues, arthritis, or those recovering from injuries.

Comfortable Seating: The reclined position of the seat on a recumbent bike provides better back support, reducing the risk of back pain or discomfort during and after workouts. The wide, cushioned seat also adds to the overall comfort, making it an appealing option for people of various fitness levels.

Improved Cardiovascular Health: Regular use of a recumbent bike helps improve cardiovascular fitness by increasing heart rate and promoting efficient blood circulation. This, in turn, can contribute to a healthier heart, improved lung function, and better overall cardiovascular health.

Muscle Engagement: Recumbent bikes engage various muscle groups, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and calf muscles. Additionally, the low-impact nature of the exercise makes it suitable for individuals with varying fitness levels and abilities.

Accessible for Different Fitness Levels: Recumbent bikes are often recommended for beginners, seniors, or individuals with physical limitations. The easy entry and exit, coupled with the comfortable seating position, make them accessible to a broader range of people.

Versatility: Many recumbent bikes come equipped with programmable workouts, resistance levels, and monitoring features. This allows users to customize their workouts based on their fitness goals, whether it's weight loss, endurance training, or improving overall fitness.

Safety and Stability: The design of recumbent bikes provides a stable and secure platform for exercise. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who may have concerns about balance or stability on traditional upright bikes.

Motivation and Consistency: The comfort and ease of use of recumbent bikes can contribute to greater consistency in exercise routines. When individuals find their workouts enjoyable and less strenuous on the body, they are more likely to stick with their fitness regimen over the long term.

As with any exercise equipment, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional or fitness expert before starting a new exercise routine, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or concerns.

You know what I'm just going to say it, don’t follow my blog if you’ve dogshit gatekeeping opinions like this lol

[hey-i-am-trying]

I like when on fics, they take out their prosthesis to sleep together(literally not euphemism) or to bathing together, not because is a bit more realistic. But because I think Fit and Pac are exactly the kinda of character that would keep using their prosthesis when they are not supposed too. It is a bit of my headcannon that Pac uses a prosthesis modified to run for most of the time, which is actually extremely harmful to be using when the person is not actually running, but Pac needs to be ready, he can't be caught in a moment he can't run. Fit that is used to never be safe, to sleep with an eye open, he can't afford to not have an arm if someone attacks him, it might be when he is showering, when he is asleep, it doesn't matter, it never did, so even if his shoulder is sore, his muscles begging for a pause to carrying his heavy metallic arm, he just can't. I just found so soft, if they could do it for each other, that finding strength in the other to be not on guard for a bit, knowing the other is there, and not having a limb feels much less terrifying when they know the other is there to watch them. Maybe just be loved so much by someone that you take care of yourself, because their love makes you believe it is safe to love yourself too

[light spoilers] "when evil lurks" (2023) was a thoroughly engaging horror movie with great direction, pacing, and lighting that complement its themes well. that said, it was also an intense and disturbing watch with a finale that frankly had my stomach churning. it's a film interested in the fear of losing control and what it reveals about its characters. though the catalyst for misfortune is a demonic presence that possesses and manipulates people, it's generally the characters' rash attempts to recapture a sense of control over their situations that cause things to spiral. their fear-striken actions are understandable in the face of a force they cannot predict the scope of or attack directly. but over and over again, we see our protagonists choose to run away or react with violence, even when they have both folk wisdom and mounting first-hand experience to advise them against such futile actions.

there's also an interesting lens of gender to view the film through, as we often see men choosing to exert violence in a desperate bid to feel powerful again against victims that - possession aside - are generally weaker than them: disabled folks, animals, women, children, etc. all this despite women pleading with them to remember how this violence will just guarantee the evil's spread. it's worth examining how the male characters feel the need to project themselves as protectors while overriding the feelings of the people around them, how their predominant emotions of fear and anger tend to preclude their ability to clearly communicate the stakes of their predicament, etc.

in a way, violence becomes synonymous with running away throughout the film. despite what their behavior would have you believe, our MCs always have options available to them (both in their personal pasts and in the present) that are less likely to lead to ruin… yet their fear always leads them to dig deeper holes. by seeking only the physical destruction of something that refuses to be destroyed, the rotten possession is never truly dealt with. it is simply put off and worsened. instead of engaging the root problem with care and deliberation, using the rules and expertise that are gradually presented to us, our MCs constantly fall victim to their insecurities, constantly fall back on maladaptive instincts that fool them into thinking that somehow their attempts at violence and domination will work this time. maybe the brief catharsis will be worth the consequences this time.

which isn't to say that the movie necessarily suggests that things could've ever been brought back under "control". but in the end, our protagonists fail every chance they have to confront their problems properly. in seeking shortcuts to regain an illusion of control, they sacrifice whatever possibility existed of reclaiming true agency.

it's also worth mentioning that it's not hard to find parallels to the ongoing covid pandemic, i.e. fighting an invisible enemy that cannot be directly eliminated, where violation of specific guidelines intended to keep you safe leads to further spread of the "possession" and therefore further tragedy. hell, even the way that government institutions (like the police in the film) absolve themselves of dealing with the problem properly, forcing citizens to fend for themselves…

the thing is, although the demon haunting our MCs manipulates their terror to its own ends, there's still a palpable sense that many of their losses could've been avoided, if only they didn't succumb to rage and dismay at their loss of control… in this way, i see parallels with the movie "the thing" too; once you let the terror into your heart, the path to destruction is paved with the resulting paranoia and panic. thus the film leaves you with a powerful sense of powerlessness, as you watch characters get progressively consumed by their fear (and uh, other more literal things), until their fates simply fulfill themselves.

Sealed all the cracks with Liquid Nails and patched the remaining bubbles from the last Bondo sanding. 24 hour cure time and rain tomorrow.... Gonna be busy this week, so might not get it sanded again until next weekend. Dying to know if the Liquid Nails will fix the segment cracks or not but I won't know until it's sanded 😒

I considered 3D modeling a specialized trowel to make applying Bondo to the side plate layers easier because my putty knife does a shit job at it, but I have to resist the temptation. Literally no one is going to be able to tell if the side layers have layer lines or not from the 3D printing process. But I'll know...

omg.... my new nearest audiology department actually has an EMAIL TO CONTACT!!!!!!! we're so fucking back baby

[yngai]

we are winning at levels never before thought possible it seems, after making the wrong choice of becoming an ada wong fan & having to subsist off the crumbs of characterization given to me in in-game files, supplemental material & scant lines of dialog it seems capcom is truly going to give me everything i have ever wanted :

probably giving ada the best DLC in the franchise, a meaningful relationship with a character that isn't leon that seems to take precedent in her story over her few chance encounters with leon in RE4R ( i have a feeling her & luis' history gives their dynamic far more meaning than his little rollercoaster ride with leon ), cool sci-fi contacts replacing the glasses she never really used in the original, integrating her grapple hook in her combat when it was sadly only ever used for traversal, actual content specifically designed for her campaign & not just reused arenas from the main game ( some of these are from the original carried over to ada but i think her performing the coolest thing leon does in the original, dodging the lasers, is sick ), finally positioning wesker as an antagonist in ada's story directly rather than him hanging over her like a school headmaster trying to play mindgames .

it's honestly so personally rewarding to see capcom go to such lengths for a character they have otherwise neglected, even in a game like re6 where she carries the emotional core of the story ( in specific her developing relationship with carla as she learns she is more than just some lab-made doppelganger, which was sadly undercooked - like most of the game, despite the explosions )

god. maybe I should get a gym membership.

So I am on the Ozempic. People seem really interested to know about the weight loss side effect, and yes, it does suppress your appetite, and I have lost some weight.

But, and so much more importantly, my a1c has dropped from 8.1 to 5.8 SO FAR.

I was able to come off Metformin completely and no longer have to be seen by the endo clinic.

My insulin is closer to regulating itself than it has been for years, I am at significantly lower risk for circulation and eye issues, and have more energy.

This was the goal.

I am not here to shame anyone who is taking it to lose weight, obesity is a real issue and medical solutions that do not involve surgery can be a blessing to many humans.

I'm just saying this...

For me, personally, not going blind or losing a foot to diabetes is the goal.

Kudos to you if weight loss is your goal, I wish you a safe journey there.

Don't let the media shame you into stopping over a perceived or manufactured "shortage"

It's just another instance of fat shaming people using something to help them get healthy.

I have lost enough weight that I am out of pants that fit, and I'm currently too broke to buy a new pair, so I look like a clown rn.

But at least I'm not longer being beat up inside from metformin!

If you're on a tight budget, consider buying used gym equipment. Make sure it's in good condition and from a reliable source.

Ensure Safety Features:
