Modern Nature asked:


I’m planning on asking for a stationary exercise bike for Christmas, but looking around trying to pick one out has proved to be a lot harder than I expected it to! I’m most interested in a Recumbent or Semi-Recumbent Bike – my family has a long history of back problems, and I’ve heard those types provide the most support. I’ve noticed most stationary bikes support weight up to 250 lbs, but one that could support up to 300 would really be preferable. I have a budget of $500-550.

I’d love to hear your suggestions! Thanks in advance.

I have been looking at the Edge 440 recumbent exercise bike, but cannot find any information on how good they are. I haven’t heard of Edge before and wonder if anyone has anything made by them or where I might be able to go online to find any reviews on it.
Also if someone has one that they would like to recommend. It is going to be a gift for my father who is approx 6′2″ with long legs so the seat needs to be quite adjustable. Thanks

I like the recumbent bike because it doesn’t put pressure on my lower back. I’m thinking of exercizing on it 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week. Are there any health risks associated with the recumbent (such as overuse injuries)? Thanks.

Hello asked:


I have a tight Achilles tendon. Will using a recumbent exercise bike help it or make it worse?

Ash asked:


I just recently bought a recumbent stationary bike. I wanted to lose quite a bit of weight. I intend on dieting as well as riding the bike. My question is how long should I stay on the bike to see results? Or how many calories should I burn? Would you consider this a good form of exercise? Has anybody else seen results with a recumbent bike? I would like to lose atleast 3 pounds a week.

GRUMP asked:


Can anyone recommend a recumbent exercise bike in which the seat backing can be adjusted to either an angle or upright. My wife is looking for one but suffers from extreme back spasms and feels more comfortable in a seat with a near vertical backing. Thanks!

treefrog asked:


I have knee and back problems. I’ve been having pain from my walks. So I was wondering if a recumbent bike would give me comparable benefits?

Thanks in advance for your answers!!!

Yes I am and Im going crazy asked:


trying to decide between a recumbent bike or an elliptical machine. I dont need to lose weight, I just need something to maintain weight and perhaps tone up my legs and buttocks.
