Recumbent Bike
Hey does anyone own one of these? My mom is looking into one for my dad who has feet problems (and heart problems) so a treadmill or something like that won't work. I am wondering if the one she is looking at is any good. It is a Schwinn 231. Any advice would be good.
I have a friend who has one, and he loves it.
My mom got one. She is overweight and has lots of health problems and could never do much excercise. I don't know what type she has, but it is the more expensive one at Wal-mart, and she loves it. She is able to use it with little trouble when she hasn't been able to do anything else.
I love a recumbant bike vs a regular stationary. I can do a solid 40 minutes at level 6 or so of "random hills", and it's great cardio without the breathlessness I get with running. I don't own one, but I always use one when I go to the gym.
I use to own one and i loved it = ) it was also an elliptical machine if i wanted it to be...
Also have a good friend with one, he's a fairly serious cyclist. He loves his as well.
I want one so bad, but don't know where I would put it.
