You’d like to get moving. But an exercise bike sounds so boring.
Not so!
This week, as part of the UNMC Winter Activity Decathlon, check out the Expresso virtual-reality bikes at the Center for Healthy Living.
Monitors on the bikes’ dashboards show a video game-like course, accompanied by resistance effects that correspond with going up- or downhill. Participants can ride the 1-mile Expresso Speedway course to take part in the decathlon’s virtual bike race.
Virtual-reality bikes can keep you motivated with changing courses and terrains, group rides or real-time races, video-game incentives (pick up coins or catch dragons) or even racing the “ghost” of your previous-best ride.
Stop by the CFHL any time this week to check out the bikes.
The decathlon is a 10-week challenge for UNMC employees, and is designed to increase activity and show us the activity options that are available on campus. The event is in its last two weeks.
