I think I know how I’m going to get back in shape. I’m going to have a workout area in whichever property I move into this year. That’s what I’ve been missing out on.

In China we had a whole unused room which had my exercise bike and weights in it. I could exercise whenever I wanted and didn’t have to worry about leaving the house, going to the gym and packing a gym bag. The absence of those small barriers made a big difference.

Here, at my parents’ house, I don’t have anywhere to do exercise. There’s the living room filled with people, there’s the dining room with a huge table and little space and that’s about it. I can’t exactly do exercise in my room since it’s got my bed, a baby crib and a big wardrobe taking up most of the space, leaving just walking space.

So I can only really plan for when I get my own space.

I’ve already got my weights sorted out. Some adjustable 2.5KG-25KG dumbbells. Now I just need some cardio.

I’ve got my eye on this bike. It’s a NordicTrak GX 4.5 Pro.

I don’t want anything too crazy since there is a slight chance it won’t be used as much as I am planning. But for now, that’s where I am up to. What do you think?

Any better suggestions for exercise bike? Or maybe I shouldn’t get a bike at all? I think this is one of the quieter options since I might be exercising well into the night since daytime is way too busy.

Let me know what you think. Also, happy 4th day of 2024!
