Getting a Great Workout

The upright model is the largest seller of all exercise bikes. These bikes are great for lower body toning and cardiovascular workouts. The advantage of the upright bike is that it fits easily into limited spaces. The recumbent and semi-recumbent bikes are more comfortable than the upright models. These bikes have bucket seats and better back support. As there is no standing, you are forced to pedal. The dual action models enhance the toning of the upper body. In addition, you are using both arms and legs and the intensity of the workout is increased. These are upright bikes with movable bars on the arm handles.

As bikes have advanced through the years, in addition to measuring bike speed, distance and time, the newer models also measure fat burned and total calories. Measurements on some models also include resistance, pulse and heart rate. There are also some advanced models that allow you to pre-program your workout and store the information.
