Getting In Shape While Riding A Recumbent Tricycle For Adults

By Janet Miller


Not everyone is able to ride a bike, kayak, or play other high intense or risky sport to stay fit. As recent statistics on obesity show, many adults give up exercising because it just isn't fun anymore. Most people rode a bike when they were a kid and started out with training wheels. While that was a fun and easy way to learn, using extra wheels in the back was not the cool way to do it. Learning to ride on just the two wheels was always the goal of every kid. However, as they grew up, the risks of doing so grew as well. Now, you can get fit while riding a recumbent tricycle for adults and have fun while doing so.

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.

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.

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.
