Exercise bikes remain one of the most popular choices for home and commercial fitness programs. They provide a great physical workout that reduces impact on the joints. Even better than their street counterparts, they can be used at any time and in any location. Uprights and recumbents are the two main types used both at home and commercially. These are affordably priced to meet any budget and with adjustable seating can be enjoyed by everyone.

Using a stationary bike should never be boring. You can enjoy this type of exertion while watching television or listening to music. As your physical stamina increases, you can also make resistance adjustments for a more advanced workout. Once you've settled into a regular routine, you'll find many ways to increase the fun. In addition, the combined physical benefits will be plentiful. You'll see cardio improvements and gain lower body muscle strength. Incorporate hand weights and multi-train for upper body development.

Recumbent and upright exercise bikes provide much the same in physical activity. Recumbents are often selected for those who are overweight or suffer back problems. The relaxed angling also is reported to help keep blood pressure levels lower during a session. The added support of a molded seat allows for full cycling power without the strain. Pedals are located forward rather than below, so the reclining position reduces pressure while still developing hamstring and gluteal muscles. While recumbents take up a bit more space than uprights, they're the perfect solution for many users.

Uprights are more compact by design and provide all the standard benefits of outdoor riding. The seat-over-pedal position also helps work the quadriceps, which are the muscles at the front of the thighs. The open style also helps train in proper posture control. Some of these provide a classic learning forward design while others allow you to adjust the handles at varying angles. You can also find dual action models that allow you to select a "rowing" motion for added intensity. This is a feature that can quickly enhance upper body toning. Many enthusiasts believe that uprights provide a more rigorous experience with elevated heart rates, the benefits of resistance and overall increased circulatory improvement.

All models feature adjustable controls and feedback panels. That means you have options for monitoring speed, distance, time, force and even heart rate. Some also include programmable workouts to adapt to your changing physical needs.

You can also customize to individual strengths and size at the seat and with pedal resistance. When making initial adjustments, you'll probably want to make changes gradually over the course of several days. It's important to have the seat positioned properly for greatest comfort. On uprights the handlebar placement is also critical. Too low and you may place undue strain on the lower back; too high and you may feel pressure in the seat area.

Commercial grade machines remain affordable for both home and public use. They're designed with multiple users in mind and for rugged use over many hours each day. You'll see that our entire collection features generous warranties, which is a sign of high quality. At the Exercise Bike Station, we understand the need to have reliable exercise equipment that will help you keep the momentum and enthusiasm at high levels so you can enjoy the great benefits of these machines.
