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.

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.

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.

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.

Trikes offer you a chance to exercise and have fun. You don't have to lean over the front and only see the ground pass by. The distances you go will steadily increase because your back will not hurt and you'll find you have more stamina when you're comfortable.
