If you’re still getting your exercise on that old stationary bike you got from Sears years ago, you might be interested in some of the settings and features available on today’s exercise machines. The Keiser M3 is a new stationary bike that’s pretty high-tech looking. Some of the features are that it’s “ultra quiet” (yay, maybe that means you can actually watch television on this thing without turning the tube up so loud the upstairs neighbors start thumping on the floor), it comes with an “anti-slip belt,” the resistance is smooth (this would be nice… a lot of the cheaper stationary bicycles I’ve used get jerky when you increase the resistance), it’s fully adjustable to seat people of many sizes, and (perhaps most important) it has a water bottle holder. A computer between the handlebars measures RPMs, trip distance, trip time, heart rate, gear (resistance), and power output. Now the only question is when is the company going to send me one to try out for them?
