Stationary bikes are a popular item of fitness equipment especially for home use, with numerous types available. Apart from the standard upright exercise bike some models now offer upper body work outs as well. The latest designs have recumbent seats which support your lower back and leave your hands and arms free to use weights for upper body exercise.
Purchase used stationary bikes is a great idea for getting into shape and doing so on your own terms, at your own pace and without having to deal with crowds or needing to dress to go to the gym. If a lack of cash is making you put off purchase used stationary bikes, don't think cheap equipment equates to a lack of quality.
Used stationary bikes are used throughout the health and fitness sector as a form of safe exercise. They are also quite simple to use with no difficult programming required, although it is possible on some bikes. They are great exercise machines for all levels of keen health and fitness fans, including novices. They are very easy to use with variable resistance, so your heart,lungs and muscles can be exercised as much or little as you want.
New or used stationary bikes are safe, effective for achieving cardiovascular fitness, efficient with their use of space, and involve a very low amount of impact on joints. They are very convenient as they allow you to workout inside the comfort of your own home.
For the best results you should choose at least one piece of fitness equipment from both the cardio fitness equipment and the strength fitness equipment, with a home gym being the recommended piece of equipment for the strength work. Make sure you choose fitness equipment that you know you will enjoy using and not something that will end up stuck in the garage.
