================== ARTICLE START ==================

Bike riding is an excellent cardiovascular workout. Bike riding

also provides an excellent low impact lower body workout. Many

busy and active people find that the use of a stationary bike

in their own home provides them the availability to get a work

out whenever they want, regardless of time of day, or weather

conditions. Some choose to purchase their bicycles with

monitors that measure heart rate, fat burning zone and cardio

zone to keep track of their fitness levels.

Stationary exercise bicycles generally come in two different

models, the standard upright and a recumbent. Standards mimic a

conventional standard bicycle where you sit upright in the seat.

However, just like on a conventional bicycle some find that the

longer they sit on a bike the more aching they have in their

lower back or groins. This can sometimes be corrected with a

padded seat.

A recumbent stationary bicycle is very well suited to those who

suffer with chronic back pain or with lower back problems. You

sit down into a very wide saddle seat with a well cushioned

back. You sit and lean back into the seat on a recumbent bike,

with your legs extended out in front of you. It's like sitting

in your favorite reclining chair. Recumbent bikes produce less

strain for your knees and lower back.

Whatever your level of fitness remember to start slowly. You

will want to warm up your muscles before you start pushing

them. There is no better way to burn fat than an aerobic

program. Stationary bike riding is a very good way to introduce

interval training into your fitness program.

If you're interested in more of a total body workout you can

look into stationary bikes that have handlebars that you pull

and push away from you as you pedal. If you choose a standard

stationary bicycle you will want to make sure that you get an

upper body workout using weight lifting or resistance training.
