Lynsea .
I am considering a piece of equipment for my home. I've used all three at some point over the years, but it's been awhile. I can't really decide which piece to get as they all have their good and bad points. I'm looking for some extra input to help me make this decision. And if anyone has a particular brand/model to recommend, I'd love to hear that as well. I don't need anything too fancy, but I want enough features so that there is a variety... such as tension control. I would like to know distance, time spent, calories burned, etc. Don't need any of the music inputs, although I wouldn't scratch one off the list if it had that. I want something that is durable and long lasting as it will be used every day, by at least myself and probably one other person a couple of times a week. I've been leaning toward an eliptical, but I know the least about them. I'm looking for a good solid cardio workout. I'm bored with the videos and am ready for something else to keep me motivated and change things up a bit. Thanks for any input you can offer.
Answer
i like a recumbent bike that has programmed terrain.
that way the tension automatically adjust so that it's like you are riding uphill at times.
i like the ones at sears just as well as at the sporting goods stores.
the proform models are cheaper that the nordic track and diamondback models
sitting on the proform models is more comfortable to me.
i've used recumbent exercise bikes at the gym and it is the most fun of the cardio equipment to me and something i enjoy is something i will stick with.

Exercising Bikes. Are they worth it and which one?
chiefredwa
I was thinking of buying an exercising bike, a stationary one. Are they worth it for building up stamina and oxygen flow? And if so, is it better to get the one where the pedals force your legs frontward more so as not to put too much pressure on the knees. ( as going straight up and down on a regular bike ). PS I am not in the greatest shape...plus I do have some back issues. Thanks!!
Answer
get a recumbent stationary bike.
especially if you have a bad back.
i've had one for over a yr. and really like it.
i ride it about 1hr every day.
i bought a schwinn recumbent bike off of amazon. it was about the cheapest and i picked it because it had so many positive reviews even though i could afford a more expensive one. Sears has some pretty good choices too and does almost any sporting good store. test ride them in the store and see how they feel.
btw. i have a regular bike too. i use to ride it outside until i had a crash and cracked my helmet.
it's more fun but the stationary bike is safe.
