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 R50 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)

This bike looks like something out of a Star Wars movie. It was delivered to our back porch and I brought it inside bit by bit. It took me about 30-45 minutes to get it assembled once I had all the parts set out on the floor. The owners manual is OK for assembly but has no operating instructions and I have no idea where the serial number is for registration purposes. I had a previous exercise bike so I was able to figure out how to get it programmed for doing a weight loss run and rolling program run. This bike is so quiet that my wife thought I was taking a nap while I was actually doing the weight loss program. My bike came with an AC adapter that powers the control console rather than batteries. I would definitely recommend this as a fitness club quality home exercise bike. This is a very solid bike although maybe a bit larger than I anticipated.
