	The Chatter Box : Blathering On
	On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by saalten on 16 March 2005 8:31pm   I'm preparing for a Big Trip, and fitness is not what it should be. How to get in shape then? I abhor gyms and all that goes with it (that's a separate rant altogether) so I bought myself an exercise bike last year as an alternative. But how can I make sure I actually *do* the exercise rather than use it as an expensive clothes horse? What better way to motivate myself to go on the exercise bike every day than to "ration" my Palin's Travels DVD's (xmas gifts) to the actual sessions on the bike! Works for me. So as I'm pedalling away I have travelled round the Pacific with Michael, and am now on my way through the Sahara. Bloody hard work though. Just wanted to tell someone, that's all.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by peripatetically on 16 March 2005 8:33pm   Good for you for being so creative!   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by peripatetically on 16 March 2005 8:33pm   Duplicate. Please delete.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by saalten on 16 March 2005 8:44pm   As an encore I was thinking of "By row-machine around the Pacific", or perhaps "Stepping from Pole to Pole"? Or there is always "Around the World in 80 Sit-ups" I guess.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by peripatetically on 16 March 2005 8:45pm   Whatever gets you in shape!!! hahahahaha.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by peripatetically on 16 March 2005 8:45pm   Whatever gets you in shape!!! hahahahaha.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by Ahren on 18 March 2005 5:09pm   lol! i should tell my mum!   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by canaveralgumby on 18 March 2005 6:50pm   I have an elliptical. Full Ellipse with Cori......oh, never mind.   Re: On my (exercise) bike through the Sahara by harvey123 on 18 March 2005 7:44pm   funny..hehe SAALTEN
