Recumbent Exercise Bikes


The Need to Get Moving


According to the National Institute on Aging, lack of physical activity along with poor diet is the second leading cause of death in the United States. Activity in the form of a routine exercise program can prevent or delay the onset of diseases like diabetes, cancer and heart disease; exercise can improve conditions leading to disabilities and reduce stress. Strenuous one-hour workouts on recumbent exercise bikes burn up to 1000 calories.


Easier Pedaling


An increased number of people are buying recumbent exercise bikes for a workout that is effective and comfortable. Studies show that slow and steady exercise burns more fat, and pedaling on a recumbent exercise bike is the perfect tool for keeping that pace. A recumbent bike provides levels of exercise for the beginner or the experienced exerciser, with settings from no resistance to a simulated course with a fast pace and strong resistance. Recumbent exercise bikes promote good posture; sitting straight in the bucket seat, instead of slouching or leaning over handlebars, reduces the risk of stiff neck and back.

Benefits for Women


The cardio workout provided by the program settings on a recumbent exercise bike helps women build long, lean muscles. Periods of rest are important to sculpting lean muscles, so a lower body routine should be alternated with an upper body routine. Women often complain that busy schedules do not allow for exercise time. While riding a recumbent exercise bike, women can multi-task and enjoy reading, talking on the phone, or watching TV.


Benefits for Men


Often men concentrate on upper body workouts; recumbent exercise bikes can help build leg muscles. Large chair-like seats are more comfortable than traditional bicycle seats, and the angle of riding puts less stress on ankle, knee and hip joints. By adjusting the seat forward, a recumbent exercise bike can be used to work the lower abdominal muscles.
