Why Exercise Bikes Are Great

Exercising is very important to the health of all people. If you live in America there is a 40% chance that you are well overweight. It's no surprise that exercise equipment sales are on a rise. How many people do you know that buy a treadmill and use it less than 10 times? I know a lot of people that have a great treadmill but it ends up with dust all over it and takes up half of a room in their house. Treadmills are a great way to get some exercise but who has that much space? The are super expensive and most of them are very loud. If you want to get into shape I would suggest that you get an exercise bike.

• They are silent for starters so you won't annoy everyone else in the room if you decide to start riding it.
• They are inexpensive compared to all the bulky equipment available today.
• They can be stored in the closet and in some cases even under you bed.
• They are very good for people with bad joints, especially knee problems. Because you are seated the full impact of your body isn't crushing down on your knees every second.
• They allow you to exercise while doing other things such as reading a book or watching T.V.
• Some come with a backrest for people with bad backs. The style with a backrest is called a recumbent bike.

So with all the positive reasons listed about biking for good health why would you go with any other type of machinery. Don't pay tons for a some contraption that you will only use a couple of times, stick to what is familiar and enjoyable.
