Bike Trainers and Exercise Bikes provide an excellent low impact, aerobic exercise and are more compact and cheaper than other home fitness equipment.
Bike Trainers are used for fitness, aerobic exercise, weight loss and training for various kinds of cycling events.
Most stationary bikes have pedal clips that provide a push and pull motion that works out the leg and thigh muscles including the hamstrings, quadriceps and calf muscles.
The aerobic exercise of an bike trainer or exercise bike improves cardiovascular health and circulation. Indoor cycling equipment provides a safe, low impact aerobic exercise that has been used for physical therapy for years.
You can watch TV, listen to music (many stationary bike models have mp3 jacks and some have iPod attachments) and on many models your hands are free (for reading magazines or books, etc.).
An exercise bike is easy on the lower back. Many people with lower back pain have trouble finding exercise equipment that provides a good aerobic workout, is low impact and is easy on their backs.
