Getting Fit 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 on a bike is harder and not easily done for some people. Being able to ride a trike is a really easy alternative. You won't hurt your knees from running and your back will thank you for not having to lean over the front wheel while riding. You can instead, sit back and enjoy the ride. You will be able to look around and see the world as you zip past. You also avoid the embarrassment of falling over when you fail to coordinate the brakes and your feet while stopping.

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.

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.

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.
