Choosing a relaxing pedal while reading a book at the gym is fine as long as one realizes that it will take five times as long to loose the desired weight. Unfortunately, most people give up after several months of going to the gym and seeing only a pound or two difference. Between the cost of membership, PITA factor of just traveling to and from the health club, changing clothes twice, but not seeing any real results is simply not motivating. It's that 'giving up' that causes the problems. If someone is twenty pounds overweight, it's going to take them 10-15 years of gentle pedaling to shed it. If they put down the book and put out just a bit of effort, it would drop off within the year. People who are in good condition tend to continue working out in health clubs and gyms. People who are overweight do not. Most want to see results, and when they don't, they just stop trying.
