Thinking about getting one of these machines. I am disabled and have severe back and leg problems, but I think I would be able to use a recumbent bike or exercise machine without stressing my body out too much.
Was wondering if anyone has one of these and what are your views or experiences like? Are they worth the money? Any tips about what kind to get?
All advice would be very welcome as I am a bit desperate! LOL
I ride my recumbent exercise bike 5-6x a week for 30-35 minutes. And yes, I do think it is feasible for you to do so. I bought mine used (very slightly) on Craigslist for $250. I think it was $450-500 new. I'm on my 2nd recumbent--my 1st (purchased on ebay) broke down after many years of service.
I don't own one, but it is the only machine at the Y that I use, usually 4-5 days a week and it has been very gentle on my now 50 year old body but getting the job done as far as getting my heart pounding, breaking a sweat, and burning off the calories.
