How to convince kids to stay at home? That's a million-dollar question many parents seek an answer to.

Having said that, the best way to make them stay put is to engage them (not with mobiles and tv) but through different sports and activities that can be done indoors.

Cycling as a sport saw a big boom too in cities like Bangalore, Mumbai etc this year. While a lot of people opted to cycle for running errands or for short-distance commutes, interest in the home trainer also grew widely mainly for how convenient is it. One may easily set his bike on a home trainer and continue to cycle avoiding all risks. Working out on a home trainer has a couple of benefits over working out on an exercise bike or a stationary bike. A home trainer guides you with a more specific riding position while you're training at home and then again when you feel like taking your bike on the road, you can simply take off the trainer and hit the trails.
