Find The Right Type Of Exercise Bike For YouExercise bikes are a great way to get some cardio exercise in. They are a great alternative to walking or running. The nice thing is that the bikes are low impact, so there is no stress to joints that a high impact exercise like running can do. If you have issues with a bad back or bad knees, an exercise bike could be the perfect piece of equipment for you. There are different styles of exercise bikes, so you will need to choose the right one for you. One very popular type is the recumbent bike. This is popular because it is very comfortable to sit in. Instead of the traditional bicycle type of seat, and sitting upright, you are sitting in a seat that is more chair-like and padded, with your legs more straight out in front of you instead of under you. This can be easier for someone with a bad back, as there is more back support, and you aren't leaning over to reach the handle bars to help support yourself. Many bikes will have an LCD readout that will let you know how long you have exercised, the distance that you have ridden and how many calories you have burned. They may also have support trays, to hold mp3 players, drinks or even books or magazines while you exercise. Of course, there is the traditional exercise bikes. Using this kind of bike is more like riding a real bike outdoors. This kind of bike will have the regular bike kind of seat, or perhaps in a slightly larger size for better support while you exercise. These bikes also typically have an LCD readout with the time, distance and calories burned on it. They will also have up to perhaps 15 different levels to exercise with, and different levels of resistance. You can also find support trays on these bikes to hold your water or sports drink and your mp3 player. A new trend in exercise bikes is cross trainer bikes. This style might combine an elliptical style exercise machine with the bike. This kind of bike will give you a more thorough aerobic exercise. It also give you a total body workout, involving your arms, not just your legs. Exercise bikes are a great way to get some exercise in, without too much stress on already stressed joints. They also provide a way to mix up your exercise regimen. They are definitely worth a good look. |
