The Exercise Bike . . . upright or recumbent, these machines are proven to boost your fitness level

The exercise bike, also called the stationary bike or indoor cycle, has long been a popular piece of exercise equipment for both home gyms and health clubs.

Using one of these machines is an effective way to improve your cardiovascular health and strengthen and tone your legs, glutes, and other muscles, while minimizing the impact on your knees, ankles, and lower back.

There are two basic types of stationary bikes for home use: upright, and recumbent bikes.

The upright indoor bike is similar to an ordinary bicycle, with a saddle, and pedals positioned directly underneath your legs.

A recumbent bike is a bit like sitting in a comfortable recliner -- it features cushioned back support and pedals located in front of you.
