School, Work, Study, Repeat!
Who has time to take a stroll, stop and enjoy the view, hit the gym for a quick set? Unfortunately, most of us don’t. However, at SUNY Ulster we like to take care of our students’ minds and bodies.
Beginning in January 2020 there has been an addition to the already calming Mountain View Room located in the Macdonald DeWitt Library. Through the generosity of the Ulster Community College Foundation, Inc. we were able to add four Fit Desk Bicycles.
These bikes are whisper quiet so they don’t disturb the hushed study area. Each bike has a small drawer to place personal items and a strap to hold your laptop or tablet in place. Nearby outlets make powering your devices easy. The desk can also be used as a great way to read a book while spinning away.The seat height and backrest height are adjustable along with the resistance of the spin itself.
Caring for the Mind & Body
Cycling desks are becoming very popular throughout the business world. Therefore, studies are being done. Most have come back inconclusive. However, it is seen as more of a benefit than not. Cycling desks eliminate some of the sitting time that leads to health problems.
The rhythmic movement of the peddaling can be beneficial to your mind as well as your body. Calming and soothing. Take time for yourself today. Take a spin, enjoy the view, take care of YOU!
