Folding Exercise Bikes

by Julie DePalo

Buying a Folding Exercise Bike

If you are in the market for a folding exercise bike, there are many manufacturers from which to choose. The advantage of this type of bike is that you can take it with you anywhere you go, even to work or vacation. If you do decide to take the bike to work, you can develop a routine right in your office. This way, you will never miss out on your daily workout.

The folding exercise bikes work the same as the stationary type. You can buy units with as many features as you desire. You should be able to adjust the bike's resistance from light to vigorous. Also look for a bike that is as light as possible. I found a folding bike that weighed 15 pounds.

Motorized Folding Exercise Bikes

Also look at motorized bikes. The advantage of this type of bike is that the motor guides your arms and legs. In order to get the most out of your workout, the bike should have handgrips for your arms and pedals for your legs. You will notice that the pedals move by themselves and your legs and arms move with the motion of the motor.

As with a full size stationary bike, the folding bike will give you a great workout. Your exercise routine will include either sitting upright while exercising your legs, or reclining while exercising your stomach. One further note, to maximize your workout, make sure the bike you buy is easy to adjust.
