I'm a full time student at the Columbus College of Art and Design...My longest day spans from 8am to 9:30pm full of classes! So after sitting all day trying to stay awake at school, I come home and sit and work on my homework for hours. I work on the weekends at a bank processing checks, where i sit for 10 hours in a cubicle! Three days a week it's off to my internship at the local tv station doing internet advertising where i sit in yet another cubicle...With so much going on when I get home I just want to sit and relax, playing computer games or watching the tube....

Translation? I SIT AROUND WAY TOO MUCH! I'm afraid I'm going to start gaining weight at an exponential rate if I don't get some sort of exercize...but I have so little time! I decided to look into biking as something to do for exercise and maybe on my days off, seeing as how we have lots of bike trails where i live all throughout town, and i thought a stationary trainer would be perfect for my hectic times or during bad weather when i just can't get out of the house to save my life...

hopefully you guys can get me set on the right track seeing as how i'm totally new to this. I own a bike, so at least that must count for something...right?
