Exercise Bike
Timeless workout classics, an exercise bike have long been a fixture in every gym, and in many homes as well.
There's a reason for their continuing popularity; an exercise bike has an enormous number of benefits.
An Exercise bike is:
- Easy to use
- Convenient for the home
- A way for you to keep exercising in all weathers
- Ideal for out of shape or overweight users
- A way to exercise and do something else at the same time - such as read a book or watch television
- Gentle on the knees and ankles while they build up leg strength at the same time.
- Very comfortable - especially the recumbent models - which keeps you exercising for longer
- More durable than other fitness machines, because they have fewer moving parts.
These are one of the most affordable types of cardiovascular fitness equipment available. A basic, entry-level machine can cost as little as ?100, while top of the range recumbent cycles are available for ?2000 or more. The more expensive the model, the greater the durability and comfort, and the larger the range of features on the cycle. Basic machines include a simple way to control resistance and a speedometer. More advanced machines come with additional features including a heart rate monitor, a display of calories burned, distance covered and average speed, and a variety of pre-set programmes to choose from, such as hill workouts, or fat-burning workouts.
Unlike many other pieces of fitness equipment, which might be bought in a fit of enthusiasm and left to gather dust in the corner after just a few weeks, a fixed wheel cycle is so simple to use and so adaptable that can fit easily into your lifestyle and routine, and help you to turn exercising into a regular habit.
