Enjoying Exercise 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.

Since riding a bike is riskier and unavailable for some, using a trike is the next best thing. This will save your knees from running or jogging. If you are plus-sized, leaning forward over the handlebars is near impossible to do for a period of time or miles. The recumbent trike gives you the ability to sit back, enjoy the ride and be able to look around and see the scenery instead of staring at the road ahead of you. Plus, with three wheels, these machines are stable and you won't have to worry about falling over if you don't get your feet down in time when you stop.

Getting fit is a goal of most people. Regardless of the reason for avoiding exercise, being in better shape is something that is on everyone's mind as the summer months hit. With the trike and the comfort it offers, you can still get a huge amount of exercise without the uncomfortable or risky efforts other sports 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.

You can go farther than before. Being more comfortable in the ride gives you added stamina and allows you to go farther than you would on a bike. This is especially true for those just starting to get in shape. Your back will not hurt and you will get to see what is going on around you.

Enjoy touring or commuting. Getting exercise while you are headed to work is a great way to start the day. Using a trike lets you do that without being completely worn out when you arrive at work. Groups will use them when touring because their ease of use makes it better for people of different health levels.

Using a trike to get your exercise is both fun and beneficial. No more leaning forward and only seeing the ground. You can also go longer distances because your back will not be hurting. You can also enjoy the view as you go.
