recumbent exercise bike tips image
Hello to D
ive just recently started riding a bike,been riding a cheap mountain bike someone gave me and have decided to invest in a good road bike,I don't want to spend more than $1500.i have a bad back so figure the lighter bicycle might be good can anyone recommend tips on buying a decent bike?
Answer
Buy a recumbent. If you go to physical therapy for your back, you are going to ride a recumbent exercise bike.
I have had lower back surgery and now ride a Lightning recumbent. I still have my mountain bike but sold my road bike soon after getting the recumbent.
You can get the exercise you need and still be comfortable on the recumbent.

i want to get something for my mom. i thought the treadmeal was the best but my other sister said it would make pains for her on the knees and would be difficult.
is there anything that would help her lose weight on her stomach precisely?
Answer
Elliptical is definitely easier on the knees than treadmill. I find that a recumbent bike is even better. You sit on the bicycle seat and reach your legs out in front of you to push the pedals. It gives a good cardio workout, and burns lots of calories. If she wants even better calorie loss, she can hold small weights in her hands (or strap them to her wrists) and do coordinated arm movemnts while she pedals. Tip: if she sets up a small fan nearby, she'll be cooler and possibly exercise longer.
Unfortunately, there's no way to spot-reduce. Some exercises will bulk up particular areas... like thighs, butt, and upper arms -- but you can't target your fat loss. I wish I could!!
