Almost everyone can cycle, there’s very little co-ordination required and the weight-bearing nature of the exercise makes it particularly easy on the hips, knees, ankles and joints. Ideal for beginners, the elderly or those suffering or recovering from an injury.

Exercise cycle improves your cardiovascular as well as giving your legs a great workout and tone up your leg muscles. Using just a few times a week can improve your overall fitness as well as the fitness of your heart, lungs and muscles. Other benefits using an exercise bike are that it increases your BMR (Basic Metabolic Rate), Burns fat, Increases stamina and also increases fitness level.

Exercise bikes are easy to fit in your busy everyday life. Hop on whilst watching tv, listening to music. You can keep track of your progress as most bikes display the speed and distance you’ve cycled. Sophisticated models may even monitor your heart rate and keep count of calories burnt. Some are equipped with pre-set workouts.

Upright Exercise Bikes

This is an upright seated position on a saddle that most resembles a regular outdoor cycle. Advantages with these types of bikes are that your arms as well as your legs can get a workout and you can create a much more difficult routine as you can stand up whilst pedalling. Another advantage of the upright type is that they are more compact which is great if you are short on space. Some upright models come with handles that are designed to offer rowing type upper body workouts as well.

Recumbent Exercise Bikes

The more modern Recumbent Exercise Bikes typically have a much larger seat with back support. The seat is positioned lower to the ground than with upright bikes and the pedals are in front of the user. The seat on a recumbent bike supports the lower back and will therefore be more comfortable than an upright bike for those with back problems. Recumbents can also be a better choice for those with knee problems or anyone suffering from high blood pressure, as they tend to lessen strain on knees and keep the user’s blood pressure lower than with an upright bike. On the other hand, if you have none of the above problems and you want to ensure you get the most out of each workout, an upright model might be the right option, as some do believe that these encourage a more intense workout. If you go for a recumbent model you could use weights for upper body workouts while pedalling, as you don’t have to use your arms and hands to hold on to any handlebars.

There are also Children Exercise bikes, which is fun to use and helps promote both fitness and healthy play in one easy to use unit. It also allows youngsters to imitate their Mum or Dad using their own exercise equipment, which is designed specifically for the younger members of the family to increase mobility, co-ordination and cardio-vascular activity.

Finding out which equipment is best for you all depends on what you want to achieve.

Aerobics
Aerobic exercise increases cardiorespiratory fitness, the heart’s ability to pump blood and deliver oxygen throughout the body. The result is increased endurance, energy, weight control, and ability to manage stress, and decreased blood pressure, heart disease, and cholesterol levels.

Exercise Bikes
This is cardiovascular exercise which is good for all round fitness. Cardiovascular (aerobic) training raises your heart rate (cardio) and pumps blood around your body (vascular). It’s excellent for overall fitness, endurance and circulation.

Exercise bikes are re easy to use and have levels of resistance, so you can work your lungs, heart and muscles as little or as hard as you want. Adjustable seats and handlebars and cushioned seat pads on the more expensive models mean that exercise bikes let you work out in comfort whilst watching television or reading a book.

Cycling provides a cardiovascular workout without straining your back and joints, so it’s good cross-training for runners who want to give their joints a break. As well as working on your overall fitness and endurance, cycling also gives great tone to your leg and glute muscles.

Most exercise bikes have meters that monitor your speed, mileage and how much time you’ve been pedalling. More expensive bikes can also measure your heart rate and calorie expenditure and offer pre-programmed hill or flat workouts.

Elliptical Trainers
Elliptical trainers work by moving in the elliptical pattern of your foot while walking or running. Your legs extend and your hips rotate as though you are running, but the machine absorbs all impact you would normally take. This allows you to reap all the benefits of running, while sowing none of the pain. As an added bonus, your arms also work at the same time.

Ellipticals are a great cardiovascular exercise, working on leg muscle toning and upper body toning all at once. Also known as cross trainers (or X-trainers) they have become increasing popular as they are a low impact exercise, low maintenance, smaller than most treadmills and suitable for a wide range of users at different fitness levels.

Cheaper elliptical trainers have resistance systems that are adjusted manually. More commonly elliptical trainers have magnetic resistence which creates a smoother workout with fewer working parts and less maintenance.

Multi Gyms
Multi gyms have grown extremely popular in recent years and really are a must have for resistance training at home. Benefits such as safety, convenience and tidyness give multi gyms an advantage over other fitness products.

A multi gym is designed to work out all the major muscle groups through a system of weights, cables, pulleys, handles and a bench, providing a real alternative to the traditional set of dumbbells and a lifting bench for weight training.

Treadmills
Treadmills are one of the most popular cardiovascular exercise machines you can buy. They’re very versatile – use them for a gentle stroll in the front room, or for gruelling marathon training whatever the weather. If you’re short of space (and treadmills can be quite large), choose a treadmill that folds away.

Treadmills provide a great workout for your heart and lungs, and will help reduce the chance of obesity, heart disease and general coronary problems in later life. A treadmill is a great addition to ensure a healthy lifestyle.
