For the ease of everyone who thinks they have no time to fit a workout into their hectic schedules, there has been developed a fantastic piece of home gym equipment that makes getting a solid workout in very little time a breeze. It’s the recumbent stationary bike and it will help to give you a full body workout in the time you could watch an episode of your favorite sitcom. Here are a few of the benefits of using a recumbent stationary bike: Comfort When you work out, you want to stress your body, but you want to have quality posture and remain comfortable. The recumbent stationary bike provides a large seat with backrest to allow you to keep your back straight while you exercise. The seat provides a better option for those who are overweight and physically can’t use certain exercise equipment. With the benefit of having a seat while you work out, you will feel more relaxed. You can watch TV or read a magazine all while you are exercising. Because you are more relaxed, you may find yourself working out more than you anticipated which is never a bad thing when you have a few extra pounds to lose. Less Impact on the Body In using a bike that is more level with the rest of your body, you are putting less stress on your knees and joints when compared to other types of home gym equipment. When you use an upright stationary bike, there is more pressured stressed on the knees with each downward peddle. With a recumbent stationary bike, your force is more outward instead of downward, which doesn’t place as much force on the knees. Full Body Workout Another benefit is that you have the option of working out your entire body with these machines. First off are the benefits of the cardio with these workouts. You can definitely get your heart rate going. Second is the lower body benefit. With a recumbent stationary bike you will work your butt, inner thighs and calves all in one exercise. If you move the seat closer to your feet you will also work your lower abdominals. The third benefit is the upper body work out. All you need to do is add free weights and you can do bicep curls or overhead presses while you bike. These machines are built for people of all ages and all level of physical fitness. It is the perfect start to any new fitness program, as well as a great addition to an existing one.
