SB4 Exercise Bike

• Unique Benefits of Semi-Recumbent Cycling 
   
  • Beginning exercisers and individuals prone to back or joint pain: The partially-reclined position of the exercise bike relieves the neck, shoulders, back and weight-bearing joints of strain. In addition, the recumbent position lowers the body’s center of gravity, so strong balance and coordination are not required! 
  • Experienced athletes: Recumbent biking is an excellent, low-impact way to train for cardiovascular endurance and tone easily-neglected calf muscles, quads, hamstrings and glutes. It’s also an ideal warm-up or recovery routine. The semi-recumbent biking position, slightly more vertical than traditional recumbent biking, adds extra benefits for the quads and glutes. 
  • Multitaskers: Semi-recumbent and recumbent exercise bikes are among the few types of workout machines that make it convenient to read, talk on the phone, watch television, etc., while exercising. 
     
• Step-Through Entry: Mount and dismount this exercise bike as easily as you would an ordinary chair! 
• 8 kg Flywheel: The heavy flywheel weight accounts for the pleasurable, friction-free ride you'll experience.

• Recovery Pulse Measuring: This is one of the most convenient and reliable ways to evaluate your level of cardiovascular fitness! At the end of your exercise bike session, press the recovery key and continue to monitor your heart rate for 60 seconds. The computer will calculate the speed at which your pulse returns to a resting heart rate after a workout. Based on this data, your fitness level will be scored from 1 to 6 (1 is highest).

Personal trainers and other fitness experts understand that varying your workouts is an important strategy for reaching your fitness goals. When routines are repeated too frequently, two things tend to happen: 1) Your body may plateau because it becomes too familiar with the program you're following; 2) You may lose enthusiasm for exercising which will delay the achievement of your goals.
