Best Exercise Bike to Lose Weight

May 29, 2016 by Lee Agur

Honestly, the best exercise bike to lose weight is the one you will spend the most time in. Make sure you select the exercise bike that is the most comfortable. There are two styles of exercise bike: the upright seated position bike or the recumbent bike that has the reclined seat and you can settle back in to.

Upright Exercise Bike

The upright exercise bike more closely mimics the road bike and truthfully, if you are a cyclist, this is going to have you in a more beneficial position to build the required muscles.

Recumbent Exercise Bike

The recumbent exercise bike is more of a sit back comfort bike that has more back support. It is generally easier to spend longer durations on this style.

Comfort is everything when you are looking to lose weight. It is easier to sit in a recumbent exercise bike and watch a movie or a TV show while pedaling sitting back comfortably. Intensities may not be as high on recumbent bikes but the average duration is 1.5 times longer, a fair trade off when you are looking to burn calories.

Convenience is another huge contributing factor to determining the best best exercise bikes for losing weight. Factors such as sticking the bike up in the attic or finding one that can fit in your TV room are important. Recumbent exercise bikes generally take up more room, do not sacrifice convenience for comfort unless you are a very disciplined individual.

So What is the Best Stationary Bike for Weight Loss?

Any exercise bike you select is going to burn a significant amount of calories, but if you are a stats person, make sure you select a bike with a display that tracks the amazing features that are going to drive you to work hard such as: a calorie counter, heart rate monitor, distance travelled, time spent spinning or difficulty of workout.

There are a plethora of exercise bikes designed to help you lose weight click here to view them: Best Exercise Bike to Lose Weight.
