A recumbent bike, at times called a bent, is a style of stationary bicycle that places the body in a semi or fully reclined position. This takes pressure off the back and neck area and also works the abdominal muscles and hamstrings.

Recumbent bikes are designed to provide a safe workout for all fitness levels. People who are overweight will definitely find the seat larger and more comfortable than other exercise bikes. You can also adjust the settings to offer little or no resistance as you workout.

Athletes enjoy the challenge of recumbent exercise. These bikes offer a variety of programs that require the user to sprint and tackle steep inclines. If you want to add an upper body workout, you can easily combine weights and do repetitions as you sit back in the comfortable seat.

Recumbent bikes position the legs on level with the heart, keeping blood pressure low and providing for a safer overall workout. Physicians recommend them as an excellent choice for cardiac rehab (cardiac rehabilitation).
