About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

This review is from: Fitnex R40-S Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)

Bike was easy to put together, took aprox. 1 hour to put together. Seems to be high quality materials, well made, and thankfully all holes for screws line up perfectly unlike other home assembly equipment. I would say that the online description of the bike met my expectations of the product. The seat at first is stiff moving for more than one user - hoping it loosens up a bit with time.

Only complaint with this purchase was shipping - purchased Dec 5th from NetRush on Amazon and was given an expected arrival date between Dec12 - Dec15, I contacted NetRush on the 12th to be told it was shipping on the 13th. It actually shipped on the 15th and was delivered on the 20th, ruined my surprise since it was late and a gift. I contacted the seller twice about delivery because they did not keep me updated. I appreciated it was free shipping but would have rather paid to it on time and have it delivered at least inside the house .. they deliver to your driveway only and it's too heavy and attached to pallet to move .. you must disassemble the contents piece by piece to be able to move it and then you have a pallet to discard of afterwards.
