exercise bikes cheapest image
t_anonymou
I am a very large man and I weigh far too much, and I am tired of it. I have decided to try everything I can to get down to a decent weight, a very strict diet, exercise, and possibly if needed surgery. I would like to get an exercise bike that will support my weight so I can exercise more often, but most I have found support only 300 to 400 pounds. I realize I am much larger than most people ever get, but I hope somebody knows of a machine that can hold at least 620 pounds. Thank you in advance for any help to point me in the right direction.

Congratulations!!! First things first, I want to say how proud I am that you've decided to get healthier. I hope that you stick with your plan and make some changes for the better! At times you may get discouraged, but please don't give up.
As for an exercise bike and other equipment you could use, I honestly don't know where to find this information. Perhaps you should ask your doctor to find you a good dietician and a good physical therapist to help you. These people are highly trained and can help you in your journey by giving you advice, teaching you about how to lose the weight, and encouraging you along the way. They may also know places for you to find what your looking for as far as equipment.
In the meantime, before you go investing in lots of exercise equipment, try some small things if you haven't already.
Go for daily walks (even if you can only make it around the living room for now). Do this a couple of times a day, every day, and each day or each week increase the distance. Maybe now you can only make it around the house, but work your way up to going around the house twice, then more, then down the street, increasing your endurance a little at a time.
Another idea is to buy a cheap work out video and some cheap little wieghts at walmart or someplace. Even if you can't do 30 minutes of hard core workouts jumping and dancing around like the 20 year old fitness-guru on the video, at least try and do just the arm movements with the wieghts, or try and do just the leg movements. Again, the goal is to steadily increase your activitiy each and every time.
It's hard to give you advice because I don't know your baseline level of activity. Remember, you aren't going to runa marathon overnight, your goal for now should be to increase your activity level each week, to burn more calories. burnburnburn!
It will take little bitty achievements, small steps, one at a time. But in a matter of weeks, months, years you will look back and see how far you've come.
Again, consult your doctor, try to find a good dietician, physical therapist, and trainer to help you along the way. They can give you better advice than anyone here, as well as cater it to you personally and help you along the way.
GOOD LUCK!

Does anyone know where I can find a relatively cheap exercise bike?

Ok, I bought a stationary bike a few years ago from Walmart for about $100 but the thing is crap. It's very noisy and it's pretty much garbage. Does anyone know where I can buy a fairly priced exercise bike? $100-250 would be preferable. THANK YOU!
Answer
look in the classified ads in your local newspaper
if you don't have any luck that way place a classified ad for 'want to buy', you are sure to find one!
you can also call around pawn shops & thrift stores
p.s. if you get a used one clean it with BLEACH to kill the stranger-germs, lol
