Traditional bike riding is fun too!
The same benefits can be derived when you are using a traditional upright bike. There are several advantages, however to performing this activity inside. In addition to increased safety, biking indoors removes the threat of weather and beast, and allows you the opportunity to read or watch television while you burn calories. Most bikes have resistance settings that allow you to control the intensity of your workout. Recumbent bikes have become quite popular for indoor use. They usually have wider, more comfortable seats, and many of the more expensive models can be easily folded away for storage. Some have digital displays and can even be programmed to show heart rate, calories burned, or competitive workout routines. A simple routine of three times a week for 20-30 minutes is recommended for cardiovascular benefit, but don’t forget to add on a brief warm up and cooling down period as well. A 30 minute workout burns somewhere between 100-300 calories, depending on your body weight, speed, resistance, etc.
