Well, it doesn't ultimately matter what I'd like to use, what I have available is what I have available. I just looked out of curiosity and there's no way I could afford either a treadmill or elliptical or new anything. And this barely functional stationary bike is all I have for now. I can maybe do some outdoor riding when the weather warms up with my regular road bike. If I just do a loop around the neighborhood for an hour a day at a just high enough gear that I don't freewheel it should actually be lower muscle impact than the stationary. I'm going to need new shorts though, none of my shorts from last summer fit when I pulled them out of storage. Can't even pull them over my hips lol.
It's muscle impact I want to minimize btw. The goal includes losing lean mass. I don't care so much about skeletal or joint impact, I'm still young enough that those are still okay.
