Clearly, riding a stationary cycle has been a workout favorite for almost 100 years! This is a photo of a group of women riding stationary bikes and using resistance equipment. The giant clock in front of the bikes is a distance meter used to see how far they have ridden as well as how to keep time. Although the concept hasn’t changed much over the decades, the technology sure has! That clock is bigger than the machine, and now we have wrist devices such as Fitbits that can track our every step and even sleep patterns!

Coming up: We’re happy that some big changes have been made to gym class.
