Remember all the fun you had riding you bicycle when you were a child? It gave you a sense of expansiveness and got you where you needed to go -- with little or no expense. Like many of us, you likely left your bicycle behind as you got older and needed to travel farther and faster. If you've gained some weight since your cycling days (and who hasn't), or if your physician has recommended an exercise programme, it may just be time to rediscover the bicycle, but in a new, updated form. Here's some information about the Vision Fitness recumbent exercise bicycle, a piece of fitness equipment that offers a unique way to exercise.

Fitness Equipment: Why Ride a Recumbent Exercise Bicycle?
Bicycle Tool
Riding a bicycle is an excellent way to get an effective cardiovascular workout without stressing your muscles or risking significant injury. Because you're seated, bicycling is not considered to be a weight bearing exercise. It's easy to maintain a good speed on a bicycle, which means you're able to exercise in a specific "zone," i.e., to keep your heart rate at a certain level, which in turn guarantees and effective workout. But if you have back or lower body problems, it might be difficult for you to maintain the upright position needed for cycling. Did you know that there's a specialised type of fitness equipment called a "recumbent" bicycle that takes all the stress and pressure off your back and legs, and allows you to gain all the benefits of cycling with very few of the attendant risks? When you're on a recumbent bike, you're seated much like you would be in a car, so your back and lower body have plenty of support.
