What is the best upright exercise bike for a tall person?

August 31st, 2010

I was wondering if there are any upright exercise bikes on the market suitable for tall people. I am 6′2” and 200lbs.
I have tried out a Schwinn 140 in a nearby sports store but my knees just about hit the handlebars. The only bike in the store that was a good fit was a ProForm but I’ve read bad reviews about those.
I don’t have an outdoor bike and don’t want a recumbent exercise bike. Any advise would be much appreciated.

What is a good exercise program for a teenage guy?

August 30th, 2010

I’m a lanky 16 year old guy. I’m not in great shape, I run a 7 minute mile, which isn’t pathetic but isn’t good. I have no muscle. I have kind of bad posture and a few years ago a Physical Therapist gave me exercises to do (kneck stretch, shoulderblade stretch, rubber band pull, toe touch) to correct it. I’ve only been doing those every once in a while. My school schedule is very demanding (most days I wake up at 7 and study until midnight). I can only exercise at 6AM, but that means only getting 6 hours of sleep. Is that a healthy sacrifice to make? Assuming it is, I need to figure out which exercises to do. I must do posture exercises, aside from that I’d like to add muscle so I don’t look and feel so lanky, so I can gain confidence, look good, and be stronger. At the end, I should run for 15 minutes. What exercises can I do in 30 minutes to reach my fitness goals? I own dumbells and a rubber band. Also, when should I eat breakfast?

August 29th, 2010

I want to lose 10 vanity pounds. I am certainly not opposed to exercise, but I have little time to do so. I work three jobs (my student loans will be paid off in six more months, after only two years… I didn’t want to spend 10 years paying them), and I have very little daylight to work out in. Can anyone recommend any good workout videos to do at home, or any exercises at home that can get me into better shape? Thanks!
