Invariably no one ‘recumbent exercise bike’ will suit every single person on the face of the planet. It’s tough to label any exercise machine the ‘best’ when so many manufacturers make products suited to various persons needs.

For example, someone looking to fully train their core, upper and lower body will be more interested in a recumbent exercise bicycle that utilizes pedals as well as handles to work all muscles in their body (there are various models that offer both). Also, depending on your price range the more expensive units with LCD screens may be a little out of your range. Most importantly, you’ll need to decide if you need a recumbent exercise bike, or the real thing. If you’re looking to go on long journeys outside then you’d better stick with something with wheels.

Another major factor is that even the world’s best exercise equipment will do you absolutely no good unless you use it regularly and vigorously. If you’re finding that recumbent bikes aren’t right for you, take up something else. A general rule of thumb to keep in the back of your mind is that you’ll only stick with an exercise program that you enjoy.
