Look, I’ve ridden a Schwin Airdyne for twenty plus years. This may be the most rugged exercise machine ever. It’s fun to use and a great way to get a workout right at home. Here are several tips to help you keep pedaling and get in shape… or stay in shape.

Tip 1 – What’s the plan?

Take the time to decide what you hope to accomplish. It needs to be more specific than “get in shape.” How about a weight loss goal? Maybe you want to prepare for a sport. That means you may need to spend so many hours on the machine. Just set specific, measurable goals.

Tip 2 – Unwritten goals are called wishes.

Only around 3 percent of adults have written goals. Guess what? Those are the people who accomplish things. Write out some goals and get started. Track how you’re doing too.

Tip 3 – When will you do it?

Put a time to your goals and drive to reach the goal. Tomorrow never comes. Put a time down and make it happen.

Tip 4 – Ride today.

Schwinn stationary bikes are ready to go any time. Whether it’s day or night, hot or cold, the time to start is now. No matter what shape you’re in, once you have those written goals, you can start this very day. Get going now…

Tip 5 – Just a few minutes is all it takes.

Doing some riding regularly is the key. A twenty minute workout is a great way to start. You can just hop on and pedal away. Or you can do intervals. That’s as easy as just pedaling hard for a minute or so, then easier for a bit. You can make workouts more complex as you go along. The important part is to just get started. The sooner the better too.

A Schwin Airdyne is the perfect machine to use to get in shape. It will only work though if you get on and pedal. Set some goals. Then write them down and get going today.
