Right now I'm unemployed and other than regular cooking, cleaning, child rearing, shopping etc I'm sitting on my butt (I do exercise most days) anyhow I worry about being sedentary and want to do something about it! The desk bike pedals seem like a good idea but there's not a heck of a lot of information out there to really give me a clear idea. I have questions like, does it burn calories like a regular stationary bike? Has anyone thats used it themselves have any insight? DISCLAIMER I don't intend it to replace my daily exercise just want to make sure I'm not being sedentary even though I'm stuck in the house....
