What happens when you cross a stationary bicycle with a jacuzzi? You get an $18,000 cycling machine, called Fit Wet.
Fit Wet bikes are mounted inside individual cabinets that fill up with fresh, warm water in three minutes.
The manufacturer claims that Fit Wet burns more calories than stationary bikes, reduces cellulite, provides injury therapy, and eliminates skin toxins.
VINTAGE WATER CYCLING
Vintage Hydro Bicycle 1900
The concept of water cycling isn’t new. Hydro cycles came about around 1890. Do-it yourself bicycle frames were mounted on pontoons, and fitted with propellers. The pedals provided power as the water bikes floated on water.
FIT WET ISN’T FOR EVERYONE
Aside from price, the Fit Wet hydro bicycle isn’t recommended if you fall into any one of these categories:
People under 4’9″ in height. People under the age of 16 years old. People who weight over 440 lbs. Anyone without physician’s release. People who have cardiovascular disease, heart failure, hypertension, or phlebitis. People who have skin infections. People who have tumors.
Happy Riding.

Vintage Hydrocycle An Early 20th Century Contraption
After becoming disgusted with her appearance, a 35 year-old, morbidly obese British woman, named Emma Sealey, decided to lose weight.
Before weight loss, Emma wore a size 32 dress. She was too fat to fasten a seat belt, and used food to cheer herself up. Her Body Mass Index (BMI) was 72.3! Her petite height is 5′ 2″.
Emma Sealey After
Post weight-loss, she trimmed down to a size 8.
BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 Overweight = 25–29.9 Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater
Emma Sealey lives in England. She credits her weight loss to The Cambridge Plan. Follow the link to read more about Emma.

Avoiding GMOs is one good reason to sprout your own vegetables.
Not only that, but let’s say your local grocery store runs out of fresh vegetables, or closes down during snowstorms or hurricanes. Or maybe you’re not feeling well enough to go food shopping?
People who know how to sprout, don’t have problems like this. As long as you have a supply of sprouting seeds in your pantry, you’ll never run out of fresh vegetables.
WHAT IS SPROUTING?
Sprouting is the practice of germinating seeds to be eaten raw or cooked. Sprouted seeds are a convenient way to have vegetables for your salad any time of the year. All you need are seeds, and a sprouting jar.
