When you need to workout, but you would rather read... you bike because you can do both! 🤣💪📚 I would listen to an audiobook so I could run, but I only have an #arc of this one my kindle. Does any one else do this?

JanuarieTimewalker13 I can‘t do bouncy things and read. But I can listen. The only thing is, when I exercise, I prefer dance music bc it pumps me up. 6y
Jess7 Well I try to bike faster at the beginning to get my heart rate up and then I‘ll get a better pace to allow for reading. The stationary bike is my goto when I want to read my kindle but need to workout. It‘s my I went to the gym but I‘m only sort of committed workout lol @JanuarieTimewalker13 6y
JanuarieTimewalker13 Please, I‘m the worst. Joined gym at school, went once, that one session cost me $54. Lol. I dropped class so to go there was inconvenient. I love the elliptical bc my leg feels normal on it (I had a hip fracture almost 2 years ago, still not right). What I‘ve been trying lately is a little dancing in the a.m. and just holding a yoga plank pose for a minute at night. I have to get going on exercise, it‘s so important! 6y

2BR02B I Kindle on the stationary bike and stair machine. Occasionally, if I'm particularly immersed in a dead tree book I'll try to read it on the treadmill, but the pages wind up a little damp and sweaty. 😅 6y
Pamwurtzler Absolutely - kindle on the bike & podcasts on the track! 6y
Kaye Don‘t tell me the bike isn‘t a workout ? I‘ve been using it for a year and a half. It works me out. I‘m old and tired. If I can still peddle, then I can get my heart rate to 60. Isn‘t that good enough ? 6y
Slajaunie I listen to audiobooks on the elliptical. Too much motion for 📖! 6y
Jess7 @Kaye it‘s great! 🤗 🤣 It‘s just not a full body workout like running is for me. If I want to tone my abs I have to either run or do crunches and I hate crunches 😂 (edited) 6y
Kaye I couldn‘t FIND my abs anymore. I do crunches every time I bend over. My whole body crunches and clangs. Just wear extra clothes. It‘ll cover up those difficult spots. I‘ve found that a turtleneck , sweatpants and hip boots can cover up lots of body flaws. 6y
Jess7 Agreed! Dancing sounds fun! A woman I work with tells me all the time how she takes belly dancing classes and loves it! I‘ve never been much for workout classes but I‘ve always had a love/hate relationship with running. I think I might try a Barre class though. I took nine years of ballet as a kid and I always enjoyed it. @JanuarieTimewalker13 6y
Jess7 @2BR02B the stairs are so much harder than they look at the gym! I‘ve tried reading on them, missed my footing and almost fell! I will not be trying that again any time soon! 🤣 6y
Jess7 Yay! 🎉🎉 @Pamwurtzler 6y
Jess7 Yeah - I would have to do audiobooks on an elliptical too! @Slajaunie 6y
Copwithabook Yes!!!!! 6y
hwestfall You are amazing. I can't do both. I am a klutz and need total focus when I work out or there will be embarrassing injuries 😂 6y
mrozzz I definitely audiobook my way through 90% of my workouts 😁 6y
Mamashep Is that a filter or are you working out so hard that you‘re dripping sweat?!😂 6y
Jess7 Haha that‘s the rain filter on Litsy lol! I actually used it to represent the rain outside but thought it looked like sweat after I posted it lol @Mamashep (edited) 6y
Clwojick 😂😂😂😂 @Mamashep 6y
