Enjoying Exercise While Riding A Recumbent Tricycle For Adults

By Janet Miller


Enjoying exercise is something that most people remember doing when younger. Unfortunately, as you grow up, other things begin to take a higher priority. In time, exercise is a distant memory and even if you wanted to participate in some sports it would just be too risky or tiring to enjoy. With obesity on the rise, it is more important than ever to find a fun way to get back to exercising. Using a recumbent tricycle for adults is a great way to accomplish both. It was fun as a kid to move from the stability of training wheels to the two-wheel bike. As an adult, there are risks and fears of falling over that may prevent those who are not in great shape to avoid them. Having three wheels is more stable and more comfortable, which solves the problem.

Riding a bike is an exercise that many consider avoiding hurting their knees or the pain of running. Using a trike gives you the same level of exercise as a bike. You don't damage your knees and if you're just starting the process of getting in shape, you don't have to worry about leaning forward for the entire period which is not as fun as it seems. Being able to see where you're going and enjoying the exercise is a huge benefit.

The number one new year's resolution is to get in shape. This is a great goal and achievable if you make the right choices. Unfortunately, not everyone can do the harder sports. The trike offers comfort because you will be sitting down or back just as you would in a regular chair. Since you will be pedaling, you are getting the same exercise that any bike ride has to offer.

Fun should be a goal in any chosen sport. While exercise and getting fit is the primary goal, you should be able to have fun along the way. Playing sports is just that: playing. If you're not having fun, you're more likely to quit. When you are too out of shape to play basketball or go skiing, riding a recumbent bike will give you what you need in exercise and help you have fun. You will be able to see the view as you zip by and be able to go farther distances, which increases the exercise without even realizing it.

Stability is the name of the game. Bikes are great but if you lack coordination it is easy to tip over when coming to a stop. Starting is also hard for some. With the trike, you have stability because you have three wheels. This keeps you from tipping over. In fact, you don't even have to put your foot on the ground when you come to a complete stop. Just wait for the light to turn green and start pedaling again.

Going farther increases exercise. If you were on a bike with a tiny seat, hunched over the front and staring at the ground, your stamina might give out rather quickly, not to mention how uncomfortable you may be if you're not an experienced rider. On a trike, you sit back, enjoy the view, and just go. Your stamina is not reduced because you are in a more relaxed position.

Trikes offer a great way to get to work. Riding your trike to work is a really good way to get in shape and start the day. You won't be winded and worn out when you get to work. There are groups that offer tours on these since they are built for people of different levels of health and exercise abilities.

Getting exercise is important, but if it is fun, you're more likely to stick with it. Grab a helmet and go for a ride. You will be more relaxed and getting exercise at the same time. Enjoy the view on the way.
