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.

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.

If you're not having fun, why do it? There are many different types of sports and people who love each one because they find them fun. But, if you're not in the best shape, some of the sports will wear you out in minutes. This problem of not having fun while exercising is a big reason that many people give up exercising and assume the still life. Trikes are designed to get you back outside, exercising, and enjoying yourself.

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.

Going farther increases exercise. If you were on a bike with a tiny seat, hunched over the front and staring at the ground, your stamina might give out rather quickly, not to mention how uncomfortable you may be if you're not an experienced rider. On a trike, you sit back, enjoy the view, and just go. Your stamina is not reduced because you are in a more relaxed position.

Touring and commuting are options on trikes. Heading to work on your trike will offer you some great exercise. Since you're not going to worry about stability or being too winded, this will help add miles to your exercise routine. There are some groups that enjoy using them because it is a machine that fits all health levels, allowing anyone to join in.

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.
