Recumbent - is this new? Did you cycle before?
I've never tried one - part of the appeal for me of single-track vehicles (I do both bicycle and motorcycle) is the upright seating position vs chair/car style, even if a recumbent bike has advantages like better aero and such) - but I have been curious about them....
Recumbent is great because you're sick or feeling sore and you can still get the workout in
Something good like a Nordictrac can add a lot of resistance if needed. I can get to 140bpm If I want
Yeah it kind of occurred to me something else was meant by this than what I meant by this...LOL
I think this is better for my knee than any other I could currently do. Since starting it in November, it's been a nicely consistent form of exercise. I do yard work for upper body and this for lower. I don't keep it on a low setting long at all, but try to work out mostly at 7, which is good resistance, out of 16. It has kicked up my metabolism and burned some fat while giving me some muscle tone I needed.
I never cycled before, other than leisurely bike riding, mostly as a kid.
