Jogging vs Biking

I try and hit the weights once or twice a week as well.. though my running/weights routine is definitely not as regimented as cycling--some weeks I will skip them entirely.

You might also try swimming laps if you have access to a pool or whatever.. I wish I did.

I couldn't agree more. Multiple activities are the best way to be in shape and to make sure that your are working on all of the major muscle groups.

This seems like the coolest excersize toy... EVER
My wife is worried, but I'm getting one...

Maybe some people didn't oooh and aahh as much as you wanted because while Endless Pools are indeed "cool", they are also expensive and space-prohibitive.

Thats why they offer just the motor... so you can convert a pre-existing pool into an endless one (and move it when your done).

I'm wondering how freaked out my new Houston LDS will be if I drop one of these into their pool...

Seriously though, aside from the obvious toy bonus of owning one of these I could see it as very helpful for Gyms and LDS's (trim practice!)

Where is the pic in your avatar from?
That's some clear water.

I'd be the guy that the currents generated by this thing would plaster up against the opposite wall...

I was diving at Jackson Blue Spring in Jackson County, Fl with a couple of friends of mine who are geologists and were wrapping up three years of research on the 1st magnitude springs of Fl. Actually it was a bit of a good bye trip...about 2 weeks later I moved to Arizona...boy do I miss the water!
