About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.
The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
The Stamina Programmable Magnetic 4825 bike with its walk-thru design is easy to get on and off. Its adjustable, padded, molded seat with seatback keeps you in the correct position while you exercise so you get the best workout possible. The InTouch monitor keeps you motivated by tracking workout time, speed, distance, and calories burned. The simple one-button control makes it easy to use and the large LCD display makes it easy to read. Choose from six preset fitness programs with a pace guide. This computer offers a unique user interactive target zone feature. You have the option of interacting with any of six different programs to achieve a workout that is fun and exhilarating as these programs set speed targets that change throughout the program. The target zone display will tell you if your speed is too fast or too slow. If you pedal too slowly, the speed indicator will drift toward the fast zone reminding you to pedal faster. When you pedal faster, it will drift back to the target zone. In addition, if you are pedaling too fast the speed indicator will drift toward the slow zone reminding you to slow down your pedaling.
