A stationary bike is a very effective way to get your exercise done and burn plenty of calories. Prices range from £70 to over £300 depending on the quality of the bike. Some are foldable and don’t take up a lot of space. It’s possible to burn as much as 600 calories in an hour depending on the intensity of your work out.

Home treadmills are a great substitute if you don’t like running outside with lots of people. For a decent quality treadmill, however, you might pay as much as £500. Some people might find treadmill running simply too boring. It’s best to try it out first before you buy it.
