I want to purchase a piece of cardio equipment to use for when the weather and/or pollen are bad so that I can do LISS. Anyone have any recs? I’m leaning towards a rower, but I’d also like to be able to have a screen to watch in case I want to watch some TV. I don’t care about it havinf programs, classes I can join, or any of that stuff.
I have an Assault fan bike. Its screen can’t be used to watch TV (if I want to do that, I put my iPad on top of the screen), but in my layman’s opinion it’s versatile enough for LISS and HIIT workouts. I used it to help rehab my elbow and shoulder last year and I use it for cardio on days that running outdoors isn’t a good idea. I’ve had a rower, but I could never get into rowing like I can with running.
I like rowing since it’s lower impact than running and involves more muscle groups than biking. Although I feel like it’s better for HIIT than LISS
That’s what I was thinking, more muscles involved. I can’t see how a screen would work with that, though, unless I rowed in front of my TV.
I bet you could mount a tablet on one
Probably so 🤔
A jumping rope? But I don’t know what LISS is
Low intensity steady state cardio
A treadmill is going to be the best bang for your buck. Your probably sit all day, so sitting while your exercise isn’t going to be the greatest thing in the world. You can run when you want to run, and walk when you want to watch tv.
