Super Bike Fitness

A recumbent bicycle is a bicycle that places the rider in a laid-back reclining position. Most recumbent riders choose this type of design for ergonomic reasons: the rider’s weight is distributed comfortably over a larger area, supported by back and buttocks. On a traditional upright bicycle, the body weight rests entirely on a small portion of the sitting bones, the feet, and the hands. The bikes featured above are designed for the rider to stand in some cases. Both types of bikes offer fitness to the rider but in different fitness levels.

I use a recumbent bike for bike fitness and I like it because it targets my thighs which is important in keeping toned legs as I have for so long. Fitness is super important.

There are few brands to choose from when selecting a fitness bike. Personally, I have a NordicTrack. I recommend this brand, but there are also others to choose from.

Nordic Track

NordicTrack Recumbent series exercise bikes give an interactive personal training experience that burns calories without compromising your goals or your joints. These exercise bikes come with advanced comfort features and up to a 14” Smart HD touchscreen so you can follow world-class iFit trainers on workouts from the comfort of your home.

Pro-Form

Discover the terrain-matching technology available on the 440 ES. Now you can climb any mountain without leaving your living room. During your iFIT workout, your trainer will adjust your resistance between 25 different levels so you can experience real-life terrain. Drinking enough water is an essential part of your fitness routine. With a built-in water bottle holder, staying hydrated is easy during your toughest workouts.

Hydration is important with intense fitness routines. The bike has a special holder big enough to hold the biggest of water bottles.

The way the bike works is you adjust the strength output on the bike itself. This particular bike has a seat that slides forward and back just like the one I own. As you grip on the handles it takes your pulse and other measurements, it even calculates how many calories you have burned and the distance. It is a great fitness machine to have because its quite compact yet powerful.

Fitness bikes are awesome!
