Dubbed the “ideal choice for indoor cycling”, the bike has a large screen that shows your time on the bike, speed, distance, load, calories, watt and RPM (cadence).
Even better, it has a Bluetooth function, allowing users to connect to the app to do cycling classes — so you can ride around the world from the comfort of your living room if that’s what you’re into.
Built to withstand up to 136kg, the bike boasts up and down adjustment, with six levels for the handlebar and 10 levels for the seat.
It also has a compartment to hold your water bottle, as well as your smartphone and tablet, as well as a wide seat cushion — making your ride comfortable as well as enjoyable.
Those who have invested in the bike already have raved about it, regularly describing it as “excellent” and “fabulous”.
“I recently purchased the Joroto X2 Pro indoor cycling bike, and I’m thoroughly impressed with its performance,” one reviewer wrote.
“The adjustability of this bike is fantastic; the seat and handlebars can be easily adjusted to accommodate various user heights and preferences, ensuring a comfortable and personalized workout experience.”
Another added: “Okay… This bike is simply amazing. No noise what so ever, (Magnetic, belt drive) Comfortable seat. Very sturdy. It has that commercial bike feel”.
While a third said: “It’s an excellent bike for the price”.
If strength training is more your thing, you could consider investing in some dumbbells to get your fitness regime off the ground.
Dumbbells are one of the most effective tools for gaining strength, speed and athletic endurance as well as helping with weight loss; and lifting hand-held weights is something you can do easily and cheaply at home.
These HCE vinyl-coated dumbbells, available on Amazon, are currently on sale and from $19.95 you can pick up a pair that could help your fitness or weight loss journey.
The dumbbells come in a variety of weights suitable for every frame starting at 0.5 kilograms and increasing by one kilo increments up to 10kgs.
There’s also a variety of colours from bright pinks and blues to plain black.
“Great dumbbells for a reasonable price! Mine are 4kg each, hot pink colour,” said one happy customer.
“It was a workout getting them unwrapped! Very happy with this purchase.”
