Desk bike pedals and sedentary life.

kfarnworth2785

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....
