The recumbent exercise bike is seen more and more in gyms, exercise rooms, spinning classes, and anywhere workout equipment is found

How boring does it sound to talk about a recumbent exercise bike and the physical benefits? Personal trainers and health coaches at the various workout centers find it’s a lot easier to get clients pedaling on one of these, than the standard bicycle type machine.

Why? If you ask that question then you have never spent 30 minutes pedaling the upright style machine.

For the same reason more and more are buying recumbent bikes, these workout machines are getting much more attention. In a word, it’s all about comfort. In the “no pain-no gain” exercise world this is one workout that gives a great deal of gain without the pain. Naturally, if a body rides one of these that has not done any type of strenuous exercise in recent memory, realistic reminders will be sure to greet them in the days that follow. For those who include it in a regular workout, the benefits are great.

A one-hour workout on a stationary recumbent exercise bike could burn as much as 1000 calories! Sure it depends on the intensity of the routine, but slower not faster yields more fat burning benefit. So how intense is that? If you could get some terrific exercise that included cardiovascular benefits plus burning up some serious fat cells, that alone might not be enough to excite you. If you knew that perspiration might be the only discomfort you would endure, that might get your attention…right?

After spending some time on one of these machines, you just might get the desire to pedal one for real. That’s where the real experience takes place. Some of the exercise bikes even include a video screen with scenes from an actual ride on a recumbent to heighten the visualization of the workout. What a difference when it changes from virtual to real time. Some things are difficult to improve on.

A recumbent exercise bike may be the one best advertisement for the real thing, next to the REAL thing. Maybe gyms and workout centers are missing a good bet if they don’t offer a partnership with a recumbent retailer. Better yet, maybe there should be a display in these establishments. Just like cars show up in Malls or anywhere else large numbers of people gather, why not recumbent bikes? Recumbent bikes are certainly less expensive than cars, require less upkeep and offer more health benefits. Got your attention yet?

The truth is, stationary or mobile, a recumbent exercise bike is comfortable. It’s hard enough to get encouraged to workout. When you can get some great exercise in relative comfort, would that encourage you?
