What does your text say about the wisdom of spending more money to buy a stationary bicycle with such accessories as heart rate monitors and speed/grade adjustments?

What will be an ideal response?


The text says to watch out for exercise machines fitted with expensive gadgets. Monitors that provide exercise heart rate, work output, caloric expenditure, speed, grade, and distance may help motivate you, but they are expensive, need repairs, and do not enhance the actual fitness benefits of the workout. Look at maintenance costs and check for service personnel in your community.
