recomendation for an exercise bike?




Fion


im looking for an exercise bike to exercise at home obviously.
but i dont know which one to get?
i want one for only losing fat calories and getting more fit. but theres some many different kinds in different positions like some has seats and some has only a bike seat where you need to sit upright.
im looking for one thats not too expensive,has adjustable seating (like height on the bike)and the one that has the monitor for your time ect.....



Answer
Not sure how much you're willing to spend. But I would highly recommend a recumbent exercise bike. They are so much more comfy than an upright bike so you can go for longer and push yourself more! They do take up a little more space, however they are definately worth it!

I myself use the Schwinn brand, they are very well known and build a quality product. Without spending an awful amount of money I would recommend the Schwinn 220. If you get into your exercise you can always upgrade later to a more extensive bike and just sell this one (they don't lose much value!)

What exercise bike would you recommend?




OOO! I kno


A good value...not too expensive but still good quality


Answer
According to Consumer Reports, the best exercise bikes and approximate prices are:

Best all-around bikes:
Lifecycle (C 3-5) $1,600
Lifecycle (R 3-5) $1,800
The quality and stability of both of these machines feel more like a health-club model than the others we tested. Both also have a heart-rate monitor with chest-strap sensor, the most accurate type. The choice between upright and recumbent is largely a matter of personal preference.

If price is a priority; all are CR Best Buys:
Schwinn (113) $400
Schwinn (213) $450
NordicTrack (SL 728) $500
The Schwinn (213) performed almost as well as the Lifecycle (R 3-5) at a quarter of the price. The trade-off is lower quality and less stability. These models also lack a chest-strap heart-rate monitor.

You might want to save even more money by checking to see if you can find these specific models on ebay. You might get a really good price even when you figure in the shipping fee.
