Weekly Weigh-In 2006-04-02 April 2, 2006
- Current Weight: 98.5 (217.2 lbs)
- Lost this week: 0.8 kg (1.8 lbs)
- Total lost to date: 11.5 kg (25.4 lbs)
- Number of days exercised: 4
I’m a little disappointed with the number of days I’m currently getting out and exercising. As winter approaches here in the southern hemisphere, the mornings are getting colder and the weather is getting worse. Twice this week the weather stopped me going out for a run – once because of rain, and once because of very high wind. I can only see this problem getting worse over the next few months.
Does anybody have any ideas for indoor exercise? I need something relatively low cost and fairly quiet (so I don’t wake up the rest of the family). Maybe I should get a cheap used exercise bike and set it up in the garage or something.
Anyway, despite the lack of exercise I’m very happy with my weight loss this week. I’m managing to push above my current average of 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs) per week by being fairly careful about what I eat, and especially avoiding unnecessary snacks, biscuits, dessert, etc.

I love my stationary recumbent exercise bike. I bought a mid-range (price wise) Champion C32S. It cost me about $369 US, but it was much sturdier than the cheaper models.
When I bought mine I stilled weighed around 270 pounds and the cheaper models didn’t feel like they would last.
It is very quiet. I usually exercise in the morning while my wife and kids sleep too. I usually listen to my iPod while I exercise and I never have trouble waking them up.
I also love elliptical trainers. But a quality elliptical trainer is much more expensive than a quality exercise bike.
If you have an indoor pool nearby then you could start swimming. But that would take a bit more effort than just getting up and jumping on an exercise bike or some other piece of equipment.
Anyway, good luck and keep up the great work.
Thanks, Matt! I got curious about what your exercise bike looked like, and found one here. That looks very cool. Now I just have to find something like that here in Australia.
I see from your blog that you’re taking on a sprint iron-man race. Great stuff! I was hoping to tackle a 5km fun-run sometime soon, but we’re going into winter now and there won’t be any near me for many months. Oh well, if I can keep the exercise up I should have no trouble running 5km by Spring!
