The whole setup cost like 60 bucks. Old raids don't take an awful lot of concentration, so that's my jam.

The question here is: What does he do all day? Does he go to school? Is he unemployed? Does he work?

By the sound of it he's probably unemployed-ish.

That leads me to thinking that he sits in front of the computer or tv all day.

This would be the easiest option then:

He doesn't have to go out in public. Swimming for instance won't be an option for him because he is a) probably very self-concious and b) actually has to get his ass up and go there. So that falls through for me. But this under-the-table cycle could be great for him, because he can continue to watch tv and doesn't even have to get up from the couch.

And he can also use it with his hands to get some muscles in his arms.

This is great for his arms too, but it's a bit loud:

As everybody else has said, diet is of course the easiest option. Exercising is a free ticket for obese people to eat even more because "i exercised, so now it's time to reward myself".

/r/fitmeals has some great and easy ideas. As far as the bike is concerned you could get one of these. I have one and if you get the RPMs up it's a good workout and easy to store.

I got an under the desk bike with the intention of slowly peddling all day while I work. Just make sure your desk has enough leg room for your legs to go up and down, mine doesn't so I use it now when playing xbox or watching movies instead. I'm not sure how much benefit it offers but it's better than sitting still, I figure.

I think it's this one that I have:

It's definitely something just to keep you moving rather than good exercise. It doesn't get my heart rate up too much, which is fine because I don't need to be sweating my ass off at work, anyway.

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I just looked that up on Amazon and they don't seem that bad. Perhaps it's the wrong kind?

This. And I call bullshit on you not having the time to get some exercise during your "busy but sedentary day". Sure, you may not have the time to hit the gym or take a shower if you get sweaty, but you can get more exercise during the day... Walk between meetings or appointments. No time? Park further away and walk fast for a few minutes.

Stuck at a desk on the phone?

Swap your chair for one of these http://www.amazon.com/Gaiam-Balance-Ball-Chair-Black/dp/B0007VB4NE/ref=sr_1_22?ie=UTF8&qid=1325090871&sr=8-22

Get one of these under the desk http://www.amazon.com/Stamina-15-0120-InStride-Cycle-XL/dp/B000PEM63K/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325090675&sr=8-2

If you can make this work in your office and have the funds, I highly recommend this http://www.amazon.com/LifeSpan-Fitness-TR1200-DT-Treadmill-Desk/dp/B006M2PJV0/ref=sr_1_53?ie=UTF8&qid=1325090932&sr=8-53

My point is that your best chance at success is not to come up with excuses or be a victim. Instead, figure out how to get some exercise, in spite of being busy and having a sedentary job. Sure, it's not the same as freeing up an hour or two a day to 'hit the gym', but if you can get 25% of your exercise requirements addressed without adding a 25th hour to your day, your 25% closer to your end goal.

Lots of little things add up... A little more exercise, a little more water intake, a little more attention to portion control, a little more of your plate filled with veggies. Suddenly, a new you! You can do this.

For desk jockeys like us, there are also bikes that you can place under your desk.

I use this to exercise while playing games and it is SUPER quiet, people one cubicle over won't hear it -- it is just not that cheap. If that's what you need, you can get cheaper lower quality ones like this

Using them, you can peddle constantly while gaming or at your desk job and then crank up the resistance when you aren't playing and burn more calories.
