Recumbent Bicycles

Oct 03, 2012

Until last night, never heard of them and certainly never exercised on one. I am used to the "normal" exercise bikes which just aren't nice to me. Apparently my community center has several for people to use, as well other regular bikes, ellipticals, treadmills, free weights, etc. I think this is a good week to get into using them since I am unable to do the water exercises do to certain monthly biological functions of the female body. Bleh.

However, while I was concerned about my knees, my knees weren't too sore afterward and I actually managed 20  minutes before I had to stop (on a treadmill I last about ten minutes before my knees start cursing me out). Land exercises are always harder on my joints then swimming laps and water calisthenics.

It's a start though to throw in a change up so I don't burn myself out again on doing the same thing over and over.
