Fitness shopping in Jaipur

Wow,  getting some great feedback on my posts.  Please don’t hesitate to answer on the blog, since one of my hopes is to create a shared community.  I only have a perspective from a very small wedge in the world.  Selfseeds motivates me to keep seeking and applying in so many aspects of life that things don’t become stale or limiting.  Creativity and inspiration are the name of the game.

As I settle into life in India, I am looking at my fitness options.  I will most likely continue to work with horses, so fitness is a requirement professionally not to mention that it gives me a great deal of flexibility for dealing with a more intense climate and very basic living conditions.  I have decided that I would like to invest in a spin bike, so I have multiple options for working out one or more times a day.  Cycling was also recommended as a good support for the stress put on my body while meditating 6 or so hours a day.  (Feedback on that would be great.)  It was fun visiting exercise equipment stores in Jaipur.  I was thankful for the fitness exposure that I have had in and out of the gym.  Buying secondhand equipment doesn’t appear to be an option here, so that was why we started with the stores.  Interesting to see the equipment sold more as a product by unfit sales representatives who knew the statistics for the equipment, but didn’t appear to have firsthand experience.  We did track down a nice spin cycle, very adjustable, well made parts, and allows the rider to feel balanced.  I hope to have it delivered in the next couple of days.  In the meantime, I have been doing an hour of power walking.  Today, I did find a gym 10-15 minutes walk from where I will be living, so I am going to check that out as well.
