Exercise Bikes - Upright Exercise Bikes, Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Exercise bikes are a great way to get a good, quality aerobic workout in the comfort of your home. Exercise bikes haven't changed much in the last 10 years in terms of overall design. Exercise bikes are easy to use, portable and you can set them up in front of your TV, garage or any where in your home and get a great workout in a short period of time.
Exercise bikes come in 2 main categories - Upright Bikes and Recumbent Bikes.
Upright Bikes
These bikes are designed to give you the feel of a real diamond frame
outdoor bike. The seat is up and pedals are down and you should get
a workout very similar to biking on the road.
With uphill variations, speed changes and gear simulations, many athletes (and bikers) use the upright for warmups during biking season. Since you can use these bikes indoors at home, they make a great in-training workout in the comfort of your home.
Recumbent Bikes
Recumbent bikes have a lower seat, offer more comfort to the overweight
exerciser and offer much more back and lumbar support while working
out. So, this bike is very popular among those that have back pain
issues.
Recumbent's work out the gluteal muscle groups more than upright bikes, so if you are looking to get a great looking behind (among other things), get a recumbent.
The exercise bike workout is an aerobic type work out with intensity levels and length of exercise period determining the amount of calorie burn.
A good 30 minute workout should burn about 400 calories or more depending on body weight and other relevant factors.
Because of the fact that the bike is stationary and the workout is smooth and rhythmic, the exercise bike is less stressful on the joints.
Many people feel revitalized and less stressful after a quick 10 minute workout on an exercise bike.
