Time to fix your form, guys, because you are not sitting on the stationary bike seat correctly, say the experts at Men's Health. You either sit too low or too high. And this is just not right. Here's why.

Too low adds stress on the knees. Too high rocks your hips from side to side. Both are uncomfortable and inefficient. You look funny too. Here's what you should do: sit on the seat and place your heel in the middle of the pedal -- where the ball of your foot would normally rest. Make sure your leg is fully extended, straight down, at the lowest point of the pedal rotation.

If you're already practicing perfect form on the bike, congrats to you. If you're not, get to work, my friends.

This is one of those gadgets that made me laugh out loud when I first saw it, and then with a name like "Geek-a-cycle" the giggles only got worse until my stomach hurt. I get that us time-pressed and stressed out Americans of today's world have a hard time finding time to exercise, but this doesn't look all that healthy to me. Is it ergonomical? Plus she's wearing dress clothes and dress shoes so she must not be planning on working up much of a sweat. And I'm sorry, but doesn't this much simpler gadget do pretty much the same thing without being nearly as embarrassing?

But hey, if it works for you then go for it. Exercise is exercise, and I'm the last one to knock anybody for trying. And on the bright side, laughter is great medicine so you'll be doing your coworkers a healthy favor, too.

Maybe the treadmill desk idea isn't for you (who can blame you!) but if the idea of getting a workout while working still sounds appealing have you thought of trying the Pedal Exerciser? It's a simple enough concept -- just a set of pedals that you put under your desk so you can "bike" your way to fitness while typing that business proposal. Or you can put it on top and get an upper body workout also, how versatile!

The idea isn't all bad, but it makes me laugh because I picture a business man in a suit huffing and puffing and all sweaty at his desk and nobody knows why. But in all seriousness, for those people who just can't find the time to get out of the office for exercise this could be a real lifesaver.
