An observation from the YMCA Anyone notice that hams at the gym LOVE using the reclining stationary bikes for "cardio"? At my YMCA, all the recliners and regular straight seat-post bikes are assembled in a circle facing each other. It never fails: Recliners are always full - planets huffing and puffing at a blistering 8-10 RPM - earbuds being drowned in sweat and wax whilst watching (almost always,every screen) the food network. Any excuse to recline or literally almost lay down and watch TV - they take. It's always me and perhaps 1 or 2 other people on the regular spin or stationaries. Treadmill? Baahahaaa - almost never see a fatty on one of those. I mean...you gotta run...or jog....or even walk. Can't lay-back?? Muh cundishuns don't allow for such madness! I can just see the bullshit texts after 20 minutes of Rachel Ray and 26.3 calories burned: "So proud of myself! CRAZY workout tonight finished! Time to treat myself! :))"
