Exercise Bikes Buying Guide

Cycling is a great form of exercise and gives you a great cardiovascular workout. The good news about cycling is that it puts less strain on your back, knees and leg joints due to the seated nature of the exercise and is a great exercise for lower body toning.

There are two main types of cycles, these are Upright and Recumbent.

Upright Cycles

These are a traditional style and are more like a normal cycle in that you sit upright on a saddle with pedals below. They come in various sizes and generally take up less room than a recumbent cycle.

Recumbent Cycles

Recumbent cycles have their seat positioned parallel to the ground with the pedals in front of the user, more accustomed to sitting in a pedal car. The seat will feature a back support which offers more comfort to users. Due to the low seat height it is an ideal purchase for the elderly or disabled user as they will be able to mount and dismount the unit more easily.

Exercise Cycle Benefits and Features

Exercise bikes are simple but effective to use, they are a great way to get into an exercise regime.

Most exercise bikes will feature a console display and some will feature preset workout programmes to obtain the best benefits from the machine.

All cycles will feature varying resistance levels which will allow you to exercise at different intensity levels. As you get fitter during exercise you can increase the resistance to give you a better workout.

During exercise it is important to keep an eye on your heart rate as you need to be working in the ‘fat burning zone’ to gain the best overall benefits of a cardio workout. Heart rate monitoring combined with the heart rate programmes that allow you to monitor your effort during your workout session. The more expensive models of cycle usually feature some form of heart rate monitoring during exercise.

Most cycle computer displays will allow you to track speed, time, distance, calories burnt to measure your individual workout progress.
