Unless you are saving it up as a reward, sign up for a progressive beginner class now, as enrollment should be starting soon for most studios. It's a ton of hard work- you'll really feel it.
Running is cheap?! :noway: :laugh:
Yep. Compared to cycling, it's basically free.
$300 for shoes every year... vs $200 for a bike...
And yeah, I know you could spend more for a bike, but you can spend more for shoes too..
For the casual athlete, biking is less expensive.0 -
Dancing at the club!

What can you get (except maybe an older road bike) for $200?
I like them both equally, I can't ride outside all year 'round (I'm not one of those crazy Canucks that rides outside when it's -40) but I can, ad do, run winter & summer.1 -

I disagree... I don't think you're comparing apples to apples. A "causual athlete" isn't going to go get fitted for shoes and buy 2 pairs of high end shoes each year, but then buy a off-the-floor department store bike. They'll go to a bike shop and get a low end bike, which will probably cost $400-$600 minimum. They are either going to get both target shoes and a target bike, or they're going to get shoes from a running store and a bike from a bike shop.1 -

LOL.....I should have qualified it with "what can you get that's worth riding...." I'd go used before buying a big box store bike. They're usually of very poor quality, assembled incorrectly etc...

People who would ride a $200 bicycle would probably also buy $2 flip-flops for running.2 -

I would ride a $200 bicycle. and I wear $120 sneakers.
I rode a $95 bicycle for a year in Afghanistan, put $20 in parts into it, and sold it for $75 when I left.2 -
Cardio right after I wake up, that way my brain isn't up yet to realize how much I hate cardio.
I live weight lifting!!! If my body could handle it and I didn't have other responsibilities, I'd spend all day lifting2 -

I don't need a gym membership, I don't have to pay a class fee, and I don't *have* to pay for registration for races if I don't race. I need shoes anyway, and wear normal clothes. So, yeah, as exercise goes, it's cheap.
Edited to quote the correct post.0 -
As long as it is OUTSIDE!, biking, roller blading,kangoo jumps, stand up paddle boarding, snowshoeing, skating, ANYTHING, new things every day!1
-
I tend to enjoy any exercise I can do if I don't hurt myself doing it. I don't like injuries.1
-
Kayaking, biking, snow shoeing0

I swam and roller skated for summer. Now I'm kayaking and cycling. When it cools off some more I'll get back into trail running. I'd like to learn to ski and ice skate this winter. I also lift weights, but don't really enjoy it. Lifting just makes my butt look great.0
-
I started indoor bouldering as a way to mix up my workouts, as well as socialize with friends. I absolutely love it and don't know how I went so long without discovering climbing.0
