Enjoying Exercise 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.

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.

Most people want to get fit. In fact, it is probably the most pledged new year's resolution every year. As summer approaches, these resolutions are renewed to get in shape for the beach body. The weather is nicer and there is no more excuse for avoiding exercise. Finding a way to do it without wanting to give up is important.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
