| Two types of exercise bikes are available. The design of the
upright bike resembles that of a typical road bike but they are
stationary. The pedals are positioned below the rider and puts
added stress on the joints. The seat on the recumbent bike’s
seat resembles chairs and the pedals are out in front of the
rider so that pedaling is more natural and puts less stress on
the joints.
Other types of exercise bikes are available as well. Dual action
exercise bikes are upright bikes that have moveable bars or arm
handles. You use both of your arms and your legs on this bike.
While using this bike you will experience aerobic activity and
upper body toning.
There is variety with resistance bikes as well. With direct
tension bikes you can manually adjust the resistance you use.
The cycling motion on a bike with flywheels is like regular
cycling motion. Bikes with air assistance get resistance by
pedaling against the airflow of a fan blade.
The most sophisticated resistance bikes are magnetic
frictionless resistance bikes. These bikes provide greater
variety of workout levels. On more advanced bikes there are
feedback mechanisms that show the following readouts: speed,
time, distance , total calories and fat burned, program mode,
resistance levels, pulse, heart rate, and work out levels (RPM,
watts, METS, mpm’s, and mph/kph).
The bike you choose to purchase will depend on your wants and
needs. The type of workout you’re looking for will also
influence your choice of bikes. A great cardio workout focused
on the quadriceps is provided by an upright bike. You are seated
in a reclining position on a recumbent bike.
Your back is supported by the seat and your legs are out in
front of you. The hamstring muscles and the gluteus muscles get
worked. Your lower back is less stressed on a recumbent bike.
Some upright exercise bikes will have handlebars that move in a
simulated rowing motion.
Your back and chest and your arm and back muscles will get a
workout. You will get an excellent cardiovascular workout and
calorie burning experience with both of these bikes. The bike
should be matched to your size. Exercise bikes for the most part
are easily adjusted for almost any body type.
There is a variety of reasons why people use exercise bikes.
Cyclists use them to keep up their level of fitness in the off
season. Many people feel embarrassed about exercising in front
of people so they use them at home. Physical therapy programs
also use exercise bikes in their programs to promote healing and
the regaining the use of knee and hip joints.
Some cardiac rehab programs use them as well, to promote
endurance and greater cardiac health. Exercise bikes can be
purchased in sports stores, department stores like Wal-mart or
Sears, as well as online. Buying them from a store makes it
easier to match the bike to your space, to your body size, and
your budget.
Buying online creates the risk of you not getting exactly what
you ordered. The bike you ordered may not have the exact specs
or may be bigger or smaller than what you ordered. Taking
delivery is another problem with ordering online. It is very
likely that the delivery company will not bring it into your
house, you will have to bring it in and set it up.
Even though you are buying it in a store this is true, unless
you contract with someone to do the entire process including
setting it up. You can purchase service contracts from a store
like Sears, in case of a problem. No matter what the reason you
have for purchasing an exercise bike, it will only work if you
use it.
You should check with your doctor to make sure you are healthy
before starting a new exercise routine. At first you should
start out slow and build up endurance. Your endurance will
improve if you start out slow.
Have fun, be safe and be healthy.
