I also vote for: Get a nice road/mountain bike and a smart trainer and use that. Then you can use it outdoors.
This setup cost me. 1200.00
It's a basic cyclo cross bike. Fits great. I can take it on trails and race cyclo cross or flip the tires to road tires and take it for long road rides. I do for the winter time recommend a indoor trainer tire. They make it very quite. Tire changes take about 10 minutes or you could do a complete set of cheap wheels, gearset and brake disks like i did for less than $450.00. Wheel swaps take 5 minutes or less.
Get zwift its a awesome app like everyone says. Racing on it is fun. Also suffer fest is good to. The options are endless really with this. Also if you can find a used set of good rollers those are fun to sometimea it works your balance and core more.

We've had ours for over a year and we love it. Plus they're well into their 3rd year and growing. There was over 1200 riders in my class a few days ago. Used Pelotons are going for close to new prices. If you think it's a fad, don't buy one.
My wife and I are in our early 60's and have been into fitness since our 20's. I've been running since 1982 and always considered myself very fit. I used to be a hardcore all weather runner, but in my mid fifties I said the hell with that, joined a gym and hit the treadmill in the winter.
Then we got the Peloton. So I dropped the gym, which made the monthly fee a push for me. Plus for 39 a month you can have up to 4 rider profiles. Unlike a gym.
I soon found all that running wasn't working all my leg muscles. Since we've had the bike my legs are in much better shape and it's made a huge difference in my stamina riding moto. I still run but mix it in with spinning. Which is nothing like outdoor cycling since you never coast. The 45 minute classes kick my ass.
They're the real deal. The classes are fun and the instructors are awesome. They really push you and so does the leader board. But just like any workout equipment or routine, if you're not committed you won't stay with it.
Do your research. I did a lot, for too long. Read the reviews and see if it works for you. My wife and I would do it again in a second. we look at it as an investment in our health. It's an awesome workout with a ton of choices.
That covers it all for cardio. With some (small) weights, you are set.
I had 16k on my computrainer before going to a kickr. (Ct is for sale in Seattle - $400). The things are bulletproof.
If you just try one out somewhere you will say F this. They are no joke at first.
You have to make it fun, cause these apps will push you to your limit.
That's good you found something. Try the peloton app if you haven't already I think you get a week free then 20 bucks a month after that
I just put my stock wheel set back on my road bike and mounted a red trainer tire on the stock rear wheel, and picked up a fluid smart trainer that I got on sale for just over $200 (didn't want to go high end on a trainer initially in case I didn't like this concept). I also have my Garmin speed and cadence sensors on the bike and this Zwift experiences works better than I expected.

It's a fully interactive commercial exercise bike with 45 unique environments, plus game levels, each in 3D, with varied elevation gain and scenery, with the ability to steer, shift gears, monitor your heart rate, and track your progress, You can ride against a ghost of one of your previous rides, or against the riders at the top of the leaderboards. Levels range from 1 to over 20 miles in length. Savage Revenge is over 20 miles, and quite intense!
The goal is to motivate athletes to train hard through immersion, rather than distraction, as so many of our competitors do.

Can I attach my mountain bike to a Wahoo Kickr and achive the same workout as a road bike?
Your not technically moving so performance does not come into play correct? Or am I missing something?
With Wahoo & Zwift I could race the Tour De France on a Mt. bike ?
I think if you’re just doin rigorous exercise for 30 minutes a day it helps.
But like another poster said zwift really makes the time fly and being competitive helps out a lot. almost makes ya never wanna ride outside again because no risk of getting clocked by a car.
With the rollers you get balance training but no hills. With the smart trainers you get hill simulation but don’t gotta balance.. losses and gains on not platforms..... And I would imagine you can hook up your mountain bike. Not sure tho.....machine doesn’t know what’s hooked up to the cogs. So I’d say yea probably ?
But just like everything else, it all about how much effort you put towards being fit.
Whatever motivates you and gets your heart rate up is the correct answer for you. Pick one and enjoy!!
