As a low-impact, flexible cardio option, we know that you’ll love recumbent bikes as much as we do once you’ve got them well and truly incorporated into your weekly fitness routine.

Why You Should Use Recumbent Exercise Bikes

No matter your cycling experience, recumbent bikes are a safe, low impact, and highly beneficial way to incorporate regular cardio into your routine.

We adore that these bikes provide the following advantages, which you can obtain by purchasing a high-quality recumbent bike:

1. Low Impact: If you’re used to running and hitting the streets, a recumbent bike can offer you the same great cardiovascular benefits without the hard hitting impact on your lower joints. If you’re recovering from an injury, this could be a great rehabilitation option for you.
2. Adjustable Ability Level: If you’re new to fitness or getting back into a safe routine post injury or illness, a recumbent bike offers every rider the ability to adjust their difficulty level based on their unique needs. Looking to boost your current capacity? If you want to up the intensity level, recumbent bikes offer that too.
3. Less Strain: Upright stationary bikes can put added strain on the lower limbs, including glutes, calves, and hamstrings. If maintaining a safe workout routine is important to you, the lower seat is a great way to manage your needs without giving up cycling altogether.
