The majority of smart home fitness products center around cardio workouts instead of lifting weights. Ride a bike, do some burpees, plank for five. Some systems include lightweight dumbbells or kettlebells, but even when those are part of the package, they are used in interval training workouts designed for... Read more

But it kept happening. Over and over, the bike would go to full throttle, or I’d stop pedaling but the bike wouldn’t stop accelerating. Other times, I’d be pedaling and suddenly get no power until I blipped the throttle, which would bring the electric assist back on. It was... Read more
