Are you looking for an exercise bike workout? Exercise bikes have come a long way and they also come in a variety of styles and most of them are geared for a specific type of workout. The type of bike you use will depend on whether you are trying to exercise without aggravating a past injury or if you are trying to get in shape and burn lots of calories. The workout that will go with each type of exercise will be completely different.
If you have a bad back or a knee that was previously injured, a recumbent bike may be just what you need. These bikes take the pressure off of both the back and the joints, but they offer a great aerobic workout. Many of the commercial quality bikes have workouts programmed into them just by pushing certain buttons that are on their control panel. Many people just set these bikes for a certain amount of resistance and that is it.
Recumbent bikes can burn as much as 500 calories per hour and do not take a lot of concentration. I have seen many people riding them while listening to music or reading a book. These bikes can allow for a somewhat therapeutic workout, because they do not require a lot of concentration. If you are looking for cardio workout that you can burn calories and be therapeutic at the same time, you may want to consider riding a recumbent bike for 30 to 60 minutes.
Spinning bikes are another type of exercise bike that seems to have taken the fitness world by storm. These bikes offer a much more intense workout. They are designed to be ridden fast and you can also stand up and ride these bikes. There a few different ways that you can get a workout with a spinning bike. Almost any gym or fitness center will offer at least one or two classes on spinning. At my gym, the riders are in a studio and the lights are very dim. Loud rock music is played and they riders follow the lead of a certified spinning instructor.
If you are looking for a workout DVD of any type Amazon.com and iefit.com both offer a large selection of workout DVDs, including exercise bike workout DVDs. Exercise bikes come in several types and there is one that will work for you, no matter what type of workout you are looking for.
