What's your favorite piece of exercise equipment?

Today is my workout day. I'll wheel my recumbent bike out into the living room and watch YouTube videos on the TV while pedaling, which will make exercising enjoyable. Sometimes I'll really get into a documentary and pedal for an additional ten minutes or so to finish watching it. I used to listen to audiobooks while exercising, which also takes some of the pain out of working out.
 
When I was going to Planet Fitness, I liked using the elliptical machine but got tired on it sooner than the stationary bikes, so I used those most often. They also had a rowing machine I liked using. Now my exercise equipment is at home....a mini peddler and an EZ Krunch. :D Both work well, if I would just get back to using them. 😆

I watch a 25 minute show while I do my exercise band workout. It makes it a bit more bearable and I am able to stick with it 3 days a week.

I also do my 2.25 jogging-walk outside on these days. I enjoy this and much prefer it to a treadmill, even if it is in the single digits (deg F) outside.

Some exercise machines lock you into one position where you use the same muscles over and over in the same way and can cause an overuse injury, so be careful of that and try to mix things up. I just use a pair of 10 lb. dumbbells for upper body and walk for lower. I get my workouts cutting grass in the summer.
 
I prefer to walk outside with my little dogs. But when it’s too hot or icy then I use my pedal machine for 30 minutes while I watch tv. It gets my heart rate up and I get a good workout.

I used to walk outside no matter the weather but breaking my wrist 4 years ago badly cured me and I bought the machine which is small and doesn’t take much room. Also if it’s smoky outside I can’t walk because of my asthma.
