Enjoying Exercise 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.

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.

Bikes are harder to ride than trikes. Though it is often a fantasy to be that speedster that is thin, wearing spandex and a helmet, whipping through the roads and looking cool, it is not true life for most. It takes a lot of effort to do that and especially to be coordinated when steering and stopping. Falling over is a big embarrassment for adults. With a trike, you don't ever have to put your foot down until you're done with the ride. Simply stop by using the brakes. When you're ready to get going again, release the brakes and start pedaling. Not having to coordinate the stopping and foot motions to keep from falling over is a big benefit of the stability of trikes.

Longer distances are now in range. Since you won't spend your time bend over the front wheel, staring at the ground, you can go longer distances. Sitting back in the trike lets you view what is around you and you won't be hunched over while you go. Being in a sitting or slightly reclined position gives you more stamina as you go.

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.
