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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Effective but difficult to assemble/use., February 29, 2008

This bike is a good workout. But, it was very difficult to assemble and is hard to use to maximize the benefit. The monitor is powered only while you're peddling. So you have to peddle while you lean forward and try to enter your settings. I haven't mastered that yet. It's also extremely heavy so it's difficult to move.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Fitnex R70 Recumbent Exercise Bike (Sports)

Just received my exercise bike the other day and found it to be everything I hoped it would be. First I received my order in three day. Second the bike was very well packed with foam blocks and wood braces, no damage or parts missing.It is very heavy but I like it for it's rock sloid. It seemed to me it was very easy to put together about an hour or so. I'm 6'4" and 280lbs and have no problem raching the panel because you must peddle to keep power, it is very smooth and guite, for me it is a great purchase from Amazon.
