Getting Fit While Riding A Recumbent Tricycle For Adults

By Janet Miller


Different people have different abilities to play intense and risky sports. What is easy for one is not for the next. Recent studies show that obesity is a problem and many adults have already given up exercising. It's not fun for them anymore and trying to participate in the highly active sports such a riding a bike or kayaking is just not an option for them. Using a recumbent tricycle for adults is a great way to get in shape while having fun. Most adults can remember their first bike and how excited they were to go from training wheels to just the two wheels. Now, it is time to head back to the more stable version and get back in shape.

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.

Having fun should be part of any sport. Some people love basketball, football, water sports, skiing, and any number of other sports. They do it because they find it fun. But, if you are not in shape, you will find yourself getting winded and giving up way to early for the benefit. In fact, many simply give up altogether and go back to a sedentary lifestyle. Having the ability to head out, safely, comfortably, and with the winding open roads ahead of you can inspire you to go longer and enjoy the exercise.

Trikes are more stable than bikes. Having three wheels makes it so you won't have to worry about falling over. Adults often worry about this since it has been a long time since they rode a bike. This gives you the ability to get out and ride without the techniques needed to ride a bike. Having to put your foot down as you coordinate the gears and brakes can be a bit much. On a trike, you can come to a complete stop without putting your foot down at all. When you're ready, just release the brake and start pedaling again to go. No extra coordination needed.

Longer distances are now in range. Since you won't spend your time bend over the front wheel, staring at the ground, you can go longer distances. Sitting back in the trike lets you view what is around you and you won't be hunched over while you go. Being in a sitting or slightly reclined position gives you more stamina as you go.

Touring and commuting are options on trikes. Heading to work on your trike will offer you some great exercise. Since you're not going to worry about stability or being too winded, this will help add miles to your exercise routine. There are some groups that enjoy using them because it is a machine that fits all health levels, allowing anyone to join in.

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.
