September 24th, 2009 — cheap exercise bike
When we refer to cheap exercise bikes we are talking about the price and not the quality. Why spend tons of money on an excercise bike when you can find a new or used exercise bike for a fraction of the price?
There are many popular brands of exercise bicycles from schwinn to tunturi and the prices can get pretty high. Now some of the bikes do have a lot of extra features that you pay for but are good to have when you are working out.
But if you just want a good workout and need an exercycle to get you there you don’t care about having a bunch of gadgets like computer screens or heart rate monitors on your bike.
A cheap exercise bike is going to be pretty plain and the cheapest ones will be what are mini exercise bikes, which means they don’t even have handle bars. It is simply the pedals that can be placed under a desk or in front of the sofa so that you can get a little workout in while you work on the computer or watch t.v.
If you like to have a backrest when you work out, I would recommend you get a recumbent exercise bike. This style provides back support. One of the cheapest brands is called Stamina. The stamina magnetic resistance recumbent bike and the stamina pro 15 5300 silent magnetic resistance upright bike are two completely different styles that will save you a lot of money over the competition.
An upright bike is one that does just that, makes you sit upright because there is no back rest. This is the type of bike model that you see on the street.

Tunturi makes many models of exercise bikes in both recumbent and upright styles. The recumbent exercise bike models are the tunturi E80R, E60R and E30R. The R stands for recumbent which means that they have a back rest on the bike. The upright models include the E25, E30, E60 and the E80.
Most models come with an LCD screen so that you can enjoy watching something while you exercise. The tunturi E30R recumbent exercise bike comes with 23 different programs that you can train with and has 12 preset already for you. The frame warranty is 15 years, as is standard with most Tunturi exercise bikes. Overall tunturi is known for making high quality exercise equipment and also makes treadmills, ellipticals and row machines.
September 15th, 2009 — schwinn recumbent exercise bike

The Schwinn 213 recumbent exercise bike is slightly heavier than the 203 weighing in at 108 pounds. This bike can support up to 300 pounds of weight. There are 16 different levels of resistance and it has heart rate sensors in the grips of the handle bars. It has a coin tray which seems like a pointless addition because it’s a stationary bike. There are a total of 11 workout programs that are already in the bike so that you can experience something different each time you ride. This way your body won’t adapt to one workout but will always be forced to do something not expected and you will continue to get results. Even though it weight 108 pounds, there are wheels on the back so that you can move it easily from one room to another.
