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?

I have a sit-down job at home and have heel spurs on both feet, which doesn’t help my morbid obesity. I want to get an exercise bike for when my feet really hurt, but would like to know opinions on upright versus recumbent exercise bikes. Recumbent might be easier on the tushie and I could use hand weights more readily, but an upright is a little smaller. Help!

Does one burn more calories than the other? Any other advantages or disadvantages that you know of?

Thanks!
