This is video of my first ride on the LWB recumbent bicycle I built. As you can see I was pretty shaky the first time by. The camcorder was sitting on my kitchen cabinet at the time.
If you’re ready to buy your first piece of home gym equipment, an upright exercise bike is a great choice. Upright exercise bikes are ease to use, convenient, affordable and provide a good workout for beginner to moderate users.
An upright exercise bike is one of the most basic, easy to use types of exercise equipment on the market. Working out on one of these machines is a lot like riding a regular road bicycle. They have a seat, handlebars and pedals just like a regular bike, and most people intuitively assume the right position and movement for workouts.
Those who are just starting out with home exercise equipment find upright bike workouts fun and convenient as well as easy to master. You can watch TV, listen to the radio, read or even play video games if you like on an upright exercise bike. It’s also possible to work out your upper body if you choose a bike with movable handlebars. If your balance and strength allow it, you may also be able to use light weights or arm movements to work the upper body as you ride an upright bike.
Even lower priced upright exercise bikes tend to feature some sort of workout programming. You can use programming to monitor miles cycled, calories burned, or the length of time of your workouts. Most upright bikes also come with adjustable resistance levels so you can vary your workout as you gain strength or just to keep things interesting.
One big advantage of upright exercise bikes is affordability. Although it’s possible to spend a small fortune on an exercise bike, it’s not necessary. You can find very affordable upright bikes that will stand up well to moderate use. Even lower end models tend to operate smoothly and quietly, as the design of these bikes is fairly simple.
An upright exercise bike won’t take up much room in your home, so they are a great choice for those with space limitations. Today there are even foldable exercise bikes that take up even less space than traditional models.
Although an upright exercise bike is a great first piece of home gym equipment, they may not be suitable for everyone. If you want a very vigorous workout, an upright exercise bike might not be the ideal choice. Those who are very obese or who have back injuries or issues may find them difficult to use. But for the majority of people, an upright exercise bike is a great option for an indoor workout.
