Recumbent Exercise Bike Workout Plan

If you want to use the recumbent bikes, you need to have a plan so that it can work out well for you. Most people prefer to use these bikes rather than the other bikes as they are usually good for people who want to lose weight, stay fit or gain endurance. They are also very comfortable to sit on and you can program them so that you can have variety in your workout. When you are starting out, you should pedal using low resistance level for the first one week or so.
If you are new in the exercise world, you should probably start at the no resistance level. This is where you will be exposed to just spinning. You can also start with high or medium resistance if you exercise regularly. You should start by using the recumbent bike 3 times a week for at least 30 min. To avoid getting bored you should vary the workouts once you get used to the normal paddling. You can add dumbbells to the workout to help you with the upper body and to give you a new challenge. This is where you can combine lifts, bicep curls and pedaling.
You can do this in sets of 10 until you get to a point where you cannot complete a whole set. You can also work your abdominal as you pedal by moving the seat a little higher than normal. Here you will need to tense your abs when you are pedaling which will simulate a sit up or crunch when you are working out. After you have done this, you can intensify your workouts a little bit by moving up the resistance so that you can work harder. Once you get accustomed to the recumbent bike you can add the number of hours and days you use it for your workouts.
