Anxiety keeps me from doing exercise outside and going to the gym. I bought an inexpensive exercise bike and I wish I had done it sooner!!

I am peddling on the bike as we speak.

Running outside? Biking? Hard no for me. Terribly afraid of something bad happening to me… or people looking at me exercise.

Going to the gym? At a minimum, $50 a month where I live. And then I won’t feel comfortable working out with a mask on, and there’s a good chance I’ll have to difficult a time I’m making myself actually go.

My apartment isn’t big so I didn’t really think I had any options for good at home cardio equipment. But then one night I was really fed up with my current weight and lack of physical activity so I started looking up compact exercise bikes. And then I realized there are exercise bikes that can fold upright and you can put them away in a closet or something when you aren’t using it.

So of course I bought one! And it was $130. Which feels way more affordable than paying for the gym every month.

I am so optimistic with this purchase and have used it every day since getting it last week. I just pedal on it while watching TV and it’s really working for me.

I am hesitant to post the link because I don’t want this to seem like an ad. But it was at the top of a few lists that rated foldable exercise bikes!
