Working out while at work!

A fellow MFP member recently told me about mini stationary bikes, I'm pretty excited to buy one since I have a tech job so I'm sitting almost all day long. I work around 85 hours per pay period so that is obviously a lot of sitting.

I was wondering if you guys have any experience with these little stationary bikes and which ones are good and which ones are best to avoid? I'm also wondering about any other exercise equipment (or even just exercise routines) I can put to use while working! I work at home so I can get away with a bit more than if I worked a an office.

Tips/opinions would be greatly appreciated!

I got my little mini stationary bike on Amazon, and I adore that thing! Let me go look up which one it is...

Ahhh awesome, thank you so much. I have a $25 amazon gift card too, I'll probably try this one out.

I'm intrigued. So do you pedal the thing under your desk while you sit on a chair?

I might have to look into this. I have a desk job at the moment and while I enjoy working out for my hour after I get home, it would be pretty nice to move a little and burn some calories while I sit here staring at my computer screen all day!

Apparently that's exactly what you do! The pictures/videos/reviews look really promising!
