Top Reddit reviews mentioning Exercise Bikes:
thank you!! i’m so much happier. I never realized how hard it was on me (both physically AND mentally) to be overweight.
I bought this bike here.
my quick and honest review - it was easy to assemble, the seat is super comfy, and it’s quiet. i’m a little too short for it, so I had to put some pedal extenders on (I was doing a number on my knees by hyperextending them every rotation). also, the console died after like a week. they sent me a replacement one for free within a couple days but I never installed it as I track the workouts on my apple watch. oh, also, it’s light, folds up tiny, and is really easy to move around (and hide!)
I just bought a desk cycle via Amazon for $150. Essentially it's just resistant pedals that sit on the floor. Probably one of the smarter purchases I've made in a long time and perfect for a small space, keeping it out of the way.
Edit: For those asking, this is what I picked up ... https://www.amazon.com/DeskCycle-Exercise-Pedal-Exerciser-White/dp/B00B1VDNQA?ie=UTF8&ref_=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top
Here you go. Honestly its great bike
I got the XTERRA Fitness FB150 Folding Exercise Bike from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LYFWKMH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I read a bunch of reviews between several foldable bikes, and this one won out on being the quietest and sturdiest. For only $115, it has been a great investment. It was maybe 30 minutes to set up, and it fits nicely in the corner of my kitchen when I'm not using it.

this is the one I use. I LOVE it. easy to assemble, came in two days on amazon, and the seat is super comfy. the console on mine died quickly and although I got a replacement (I switched out batteries three times in the first week so I think mine was defective) I never ended up putting the new one on. I use my apple watch to track my calories because I think it’s more accurate anyways!
This is the one I got. There’s a lot of good options on Amazon, some cheaper than this. I just liked this one based on reviews.
Semi related to the Expanded Universe: I think the bike Noelle has is on sale on Amazon. Kindaaa want to buy it because I have been a couch potato during Quarantine and I live in the Northeast where being outside is going to be not fun soon. Anyone have one? I wish I had Peleton money tbh
This was what I used when I was over 370. I also recommend buying a more comfortable bike seat. This is the one I got:

That said, I'd also say go for the rogue or the Titan if it suits your fancy. Any of the three of these should be fine for supporting your weight. The biggest thing is if this is an exercise that you'll find yourself doing regularly. I got a Concept2 rower because I really enjoy doing it. Of course, if you're into cycling, then you're going down the right path. Good luck, man.
You can get these neat under the desk "bicycles" like this one.
This could get your heart rate up and burn some energy discreetly.
Not at home so i can't post a pic but it's quite simple, i have an Exerpeutic stationary bike that i place in front of my 46" TV and i added these pieces that i got from Amazon on the top end of the sticks.
It's not optimal but it works. Ideally they would be lower and closer to me but that's the best i could do, though i could probably find a better fit if i took the time.
I think the best bike suited for this kind of situation would be the ones where you are laid back.
I just bought this: (for $350)
Cyclace Exercise Bike Stationary 330 Lbs Weight Capacity- Indoor Cycling Bike with Comfortable Seat Cushion, Tablet Holder and LCD Monitor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PMD1WG8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_0WFF5VF4EBZJ1EMSSGZ4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
With an oversized seat and the wahoo cadence sensor so I can use the peloton iPhone app too as an alternative (there’s a two month free trial which goes back to one month in February)
It’s pretty sweet. Really basic but I’ve gotten some good workouts on it. I need to figure out how to make the handlebars more secure Bc they shift a bit when I’m really going for it. Great iPad/iPhone holder section too
I got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07Q2697YN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. After doing a lot of research everyone seemed to agree that you want a belt drive + magnetic resistance (less maintenance and quieter) and this was one of the cheaper ones I saw!
I actually went with one of the higher rated ones on amazon that were within my price range: Exerpeutic 1200 Folding Magnetic Upright Bike with Pulse https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007595TKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_aXBAAbBBQDH3M
I have this one from Amazon. I don't remember paying that much. It's solid but my butt hates the seat. People around here were selling used spin bikes for nearly the same price so I bought it new.
I have bad hips and have been using this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BDRFMZK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_88SNAVMHT8356RVR0NSY?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 successfully. I don't find it hard on my hips or my knees. I hope this helps!
Of course! Here’s the link XTERRA Fitness FB150 Folding Exercise Bike, Silver https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LYFWKMH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_zBoqyHXI9Bcd2 pretty affordable compared to other exercise bikes. Perfect to save space and gets the job done! Glad I could help :)
Cardio! I used a a stationary bike for 20-30 minutes a day. The linked one is nice because it folds up to fit in a broom closet.
I bought this one off of Amazon and am quite happy with it:

TailHappyTV reviews lots of bikes on YouTube. I think he is 6'5" and said he had to lower the seat on this particular bike.
This is the one I have. It’s not super fancy or anything, but it takes up very little space and it does the job really well.

I use the Peloton app with a non-Peloton bike. I bought my bike from the Devil Bezos at the end of March. It's by a company called Sunny and it was $400. It's this one.
A gym friend bought another from the same brand that's a bit more high end. Neither of us have had issues. I swapped out the pedals on mine so I can clip in with my spinning shoes.
The Peloton app has a ton of other stuff on it too. I take yoga classes, and they also have strength, meditation, running, walking, bootcamp, and some other stuff I am forgetting about. For $15/month I am so getting my money's worth.
I have an elliptical that I got through my friend's amazon prime account for $100.00 not including taxes and honestly I'm very happy with it. It doesn't require a plug in or battery and you can adjust the resistance which is controlled by a belt/fan inside as you peddle. It's quiet as well, easy to move, and doesn't require much space.
EDIT: Format
I bought an stationary exercise bike for 150. Its perfect, I believe biking is better for my knees, who knows.
I got it on amazon.
I used it a lot, don't use it anymore. Its too boring for me to sit in a room and bike or run. I now go on walks, quick ones, with uphill parts. That's way better.
But yeah there's bikes for like 150 on Amazon. I picked a bike over a treadmill also because the apartment had a low ceiling.
EDIT: It was cheaper than 150. Here it is:
I use the Peloton app with my Sunny spin bike. I added a cheap cell phone mount and a cadence tracker, and it gives me everything I need for about $400 total. If you do rides where you're jogging/standing I'd suggest looking for a heavy flywheel to help keep the bike steady and balanced. I have this one.
Would you mind explaining the difference? It might help some people who are trying to decide. For me, running was just too huge of a psychological barrier. It's definitely all about finding what works for you. I've even done a half marathon before... but I'm in a much different place in my life right now.
Here's the bike I have, we got it from amazon as well: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007595TKU?ref_=Oct_CABSellerC_3407781_0
I just bought this bike off Amazon and I really like it so far. Seems solid and works well! Exerpeutic Folding Magnetic Upright Bike with Pulse https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007595TKU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_whQIEGVgbgszp
You're so welcome! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I enjoy mine! And I agree, 200 is totally awesome for an hour, and 400 for a day with what i consider little pain and no inconvenience from working is amazing!
There are many different ones available on amazon. This one is the one I got because price wasn't really an issue for me, and it has pretty much the best reviews, but honestly there are ones in the $50-100 range that have almost as good reviews - like 4.3-.4 out of 5 stars instead of this one's 4.6.
If you end up getting one let me know how you like it!!!
This is going to be very unoriginal advice, but I would really suggest that you start exercising again, in any way you feel up for. What I did was order an exercise bike (this one) and I use it whenever I feel restless or irritable and it helps me tremendously, even if I just use it for 5-10 minutes.
Best of luck to you.
I’d recommend an under desk exercise bike like this one. It’s a little pricy but there could be other options that are less expensive.
