Body Sculpture Body Scupture Exercise Bike BC-7200GK-HB

Advantages: Cheap and Reliable
Disadvantages: Uncomfortable Seat

...I am a very keen runner and have been back in training for just over a year now after having a few years off. As part of my quest to get back to the standard I used to be, I incorporate a few sessions a week on my exercise bike, this helps build speed endurance and strength in general. The exercise bike in question is the Body Sculpture BC1510 and I got it as new and hardly used from a friend for £15. I have had a look around though and it retails from £40-£60 which is around the right price I feel for this kind of product. Now its quite a simple exercise bike, which to me is a positive as all I want it for is for a few training sessions a week and to know the distance I have covered and how long it took me.

...You often see rebounders - little trampolines - lurking in the back of gyms, spurned by the 'real' fitness-freaks. I don't know why, they are wonderful inventions that deserve much more prominence in the fitness market. I bought my Body Sculpture Rebounder years ago from a UK catalogue shop. It was £19.99 and they are still around that price. It is well made and has certainly lasted well. Rebounding experts try to sell much more expensive models, claiming that support bars are necessary (only if you have a serious balance problem or have been hitting the wine), or that the quality of theirs is better.
