The medical and scientific community is totally in agreement that a surefire way to get rid of the lifestyle-related wave of heart disease, diabetes, depression and obesity is simply by means of exercising and eating right.

Think about it! Exercise helps bring down your “bad” cholesterol and high blood pressure, and reigns in stress and depression.

And why not kickstart your love for exercise by getting yourself an exercise bike? You'll be glad you did; check out the Top Reasons below!

1. You can stick to your schedule of fitness, whether it's good or bad weather outside. No need to feel guilty that you're backing out on your commitment.

2. If you can't run because your thighs can't take it, why not bike?

3. And bring along, er, watch your favorite TV show while biking. The more intrepid among us even design stationary bikes that allow working with a laptop while pedalling.

4. Bikers with health complications find it easy to control how much time they spend working out.
