About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. 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.

The Stamina Magnetic Recumbent 1350 Bike gives you a great cardio workout in the convenience of your home. The workout is smooth and quiet so you can watch television or listen to music while you work out, and you'll never be bored with the built-in monitor that keeps you motivated by displaying speed, distance, time, and calories burned. The scan mode lets you track your progress without pushing buttons during your workout. The tension knob can be adjusted anytime to increase or decrease the intensity. The Magnetic Recumbent 1350 Bike is designed to put you in a semi-reclined position so you work all the major muscles in your hips, thighs, and buttocks. The Magnetic Recumbent 1350 Bike features the adjustable heavy-weighted flywheel resistance and belt drive train, so your bike pedals smoothly at any resistance level. The oversized foot pedals hold your feet securely, and the seat is padded and adjusts to fit most any size of rider. The walk-through design makes getting on and off the bike safe and easy.

  • 4 rubber, triangular shaped, grooved, anti-skid foot pads to stand up against long term wear
  • Adjustable tension for a wide range of resistance
  • 1" chrome-plated steel tubing is strong but lightweight: only 5 lbs
  • All Isokinetics Inc. pedalers now come with Dycem anti-slip strips for use on smooth floors
The Isokinetics Inc. brand pedal exerciser is a shiny, chrome model with our logo on the front. Under desk consideration: Standard Pedal Exerciser pedal height tops out at 13". Isokinetics' Deluxe Pedal Exerciser is best option for under desk use, with a pedal top out height of 10.5". Direct from manufacturer pricing means you save more. 1 year warranty from Isokinetics Inc. Now comes with Dycem anti-slip strips to place under the feet to help solve a common problem of slipping on smooth floors. Made of high quality 1" chrome-plated steel tubing, with 4 flat-bottom rubber feet to grip the floor, and adjustable pedal straps to keep your feet in place. Our model IS NOT a "knock-down" model which requires the customer to assemble the frame and may be less rigid. Ours is a single-piece, welded, solid construction, fully assembled frame. Just insert and tighten the resistance knob and it is ready to use. Appropriate for elderly exercise. Often used for shoulder or knee rehabilitation as it provides a consistent muscle motion, strengthening arm or leg muscles and keeping the joints loose. This basic exerciser provides a low level aerobic workout: For a more vigorous workout, see our Deluxe or Magnetic models. Can be used for upper body exercises by placing it on a table and using your arms, or for lower body exercises placed on the floor and pedaled with your feet. At 5 pounds, it is easy to move around and store. Sit with legs at close to a 90 degree angle. Start your exercise program slowly and gradually work up to 20 minutes of exercise at least 3 times a week. Please note that like all pedal exercisers of this design, the resistance knob housing can become hot after using vigorously, so take care when touching after heavy use. We found it does not heat up much when used at lower resistance levels. ALWAYS consult a physician before beginning this, or any other, exercise program. For more rigorous needs, consider our Deluxe or Magnetic models.

About Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. 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. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.

The Schwinn® 140 upright bike delivers a compact design that relies on core muscles to balance your body weight. It features BioFit™ comfort with oversized ergonomic pedals and an adjustable console, handlebars and extra-wide seat. BioDyne™ performance offers a perimeter-weighted flywheel for a true road feel and smooth, consistent workouts, while oversized stabilizers and levelers are built-in for a solid workout platform.
