121. Recumbent


From, “The 27 Rules of Conquering the Gym,” by Jason Gay, 1/5/12, The Wall Street Journal:

"4. No one in the history of gyms has ever lost a pound while reading "The New Yorker" and slowly pedaling a recumbent bicycle. No one."

Recumbent: lying down (especially of a person or human figure)
