• They come equipped with a bucket seat – this seat can be so much more comfortable than the hard and tiny seats that come attached to spinning bikes and upright exercise bikes.
• Also, because the seat is larger, it is more comfortable for larger, overweight people who want to get into exercising – there is no reason why they should have to be turned off by a little seat!
• Another benefit of benefits of recumbent exercise bikes, in terms of the seat, is something that only men can fully understand…
• One of the main benefits of recumbent exercise bikes is how low impact they are compared to other exercise machines. Think of how much impact your knees and other joints take from all that pounding you do no a treadmill! A recumbent bike is a great way to take the strain off of your joints.
• The impact on your joints of a recumbent bike is even lower than that of a stationary bike. This is because your feet are more at the same level with your body rather than lower.
• You can get a great cardio workout while using one of these bikes.
• You can really strengthen your lower body.
• Basically all parts of your lower body stand to get a great workout from your use of a recumbent – your inner thighs, butt, calves, etc.
• And if you move the seat closer to the pedals, you can even workout your lower abs!
• Both men and women can easily use recumbent bikes.
• These bikes are great for persons of all fitness levels.
• For an extreme workout, you can set a course on your recumbent bike that includes multiple hills.
• If you want an upper body workout, too, you need only to bring in the use of free weights. Because you are so much more balanced when sitting on a recumbent bike compared to a stationary bike, you can even do bicep curls.
• It is easy to watch TV or look out the window or even look at the pictures in a magazine while using a recumbent bike. And the more entertained you are, the more you can take your mind off of your workout, and the longer you will be able to work out.
