Fitnex R50-S Recumbent Exercise Bike

Get fit without straining your back or suffering from saddle sore with the Fitnex R50-S recumbent exercise bike. A bike that looks as good as it works, the R50-S is remarkably easy to use, with an exclusive swing-arm design that allows for quick entry and exit. The swing arm is attached to the information console, which includes dot matrix and LED displays that track the watts, speed, average speed, rpm, distance, calories, heart rate, program level, and time. Should you want to view and operate the console in the traditional position, simply swing the arm back to the starting point once you sit down and you're set. However, you can also keep the swing arm on your right side, giving you an unobstructed forward view--a handy option should you want to watch TV while riding. The R50-S offers a challenge for both beginning and advanced riders, with 16 magnetic resistance levels controlled by a Servo motor. And riders can choose from among six different programs--manual, interval, rolling, weight loss, racing, and heart rate control--to vary their workout routines. Other details include contact heart rate grips, 50 to 250 watts of resistance, and a compact footprint that measures 64 inches long by 26 inches wide. The console allows you to track the watts, speed, average speed, rpm, distance, calories, heart rate, program level, and time while exercising.

They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.  more
