Portable Exercise Bicycle, Stay Fit Wherever You are

A portable exercise bicycle may be just the piece of equipment you need if you'd like to workout at home, but don't have a lot of room for a big clunky piece of workout gear. There are several models to choose from, and you can get all the features you need for a reasonable price!

A portable exercise bicycle in its simplest form is nothing more than a set of bicycle pedals attached to a frame. In addition, there is a way to increase or reduce the resistance of the pedals, this could be a simple knob all the way up to a fancy electronic/magnetic braking system.

One of the beauties of one of these types of bikes is that you can use it to workout both your lower and upper body. To workout your lower body, place the unit on the floor in front of you, and strap your feet onto the pedals with either Velcro or plastic straps, depending on the type you have. Start pedaling, and if it seems too hard or too easy to pedal, adjust the resistance knob accordingly.

To utilize the upper body workout feature, place the bike on a sturdy table or counter, grab the pedals with your hands, the pedals are especially shaped to fit hands or feet, and start pedaling with your arms. Again, adjust the resistance as needed.

Prices for portable exercise bikes range from around $50 for a no frills unit all the way up to several thousand for a medical grade unit.

A portable exercise bike can be used for aerobic exercise and toning as well as for rehabilitation. They work great for recovery from shoulder surgery, be sure to get a physical therapists ok though.
