Getting Exercise On A Trike Bike

By David Reed


Everyone is aware of the importance of getting exercise if you want to lose weight or get fit. Running and jogging is not always good on your knees and for those that are not already in shape, this can be an impossibility. Riding a bike is a good way to avoid knee stress, but leaning forward over the front tire is not always something to look forward to. Lifting weights are fine if you want to build muscle but aren't designed to help you lose fat. Taking a trike bike for a ride is a great way to have the benefits of cardio without the awkward position of riding a bike.

Going for a ride helps you get fit. There is no doubt that exercise is good for you. But, the form of exercise you choose will have different types of benefits. Lifting weights build muscle. Jogging and running are great cardio but not always an option if you have knee problems or are not in good enough shape to endure. If you're worn out you're not having fun. On a tricycle, you can have fun because you are not stressing your knees, you are not leaning forward over the front tire, and you can just enjoy the ride while watching the scenery.

Having fun is a big part of continuing your exercise routine. Some people have the discipline to work through difficult or uncomfortable workouts. However, many people give up quickly if they find it too hard and begin to dread signing up for a gym membership. Finding a way to have fun while exercising will take your mind off of the work you are doing and allow you to just have fun. When you look forward to getting out and getting fit, you're more likely to stick with it.

Tricycles are much more stable than bicycles. Though we remember the excitement of getting the training wheels taken off our first bike, as an adult this poses a problem. Being humiliated by falling over or not being able to stop or start correctly is a big factor in why many adults won't get a bike. Having a three-wheeled vehicle eliminates all of these fears.

Trikes are more comfortable. The speed bikes that many riders get are literally built for speed. They are designed for the rider to be hunched over as close to the frame of the bike as possible. For someone who is not in shape, this is not a very comfortable position. Trikes allow you to sit more upright and enjoy the ride. You can look around, not worry about your speed, and not hurt your back by being hunched over.

Commuting is a great way to exercise on the way to work. Many people like to ride their bike to work in the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is good. This is great, but for those that aren't comfortable with it, using a tricycle is actually safer. You have a bigger vehicle which means you are more visible in traffic, plus you can see what is going on around you.

Tours are available for group fun. Since many of your friends probably already have bikes and tricycles, you can go on group tours. Some may be organized by tour operators at well known natural wonders, others you can organize on your own. Take them camping and make your own group as you head off to see the views that are offered.

You have to have fun if you want to keep up with the exercise. There are some really disciplined people that can charge into the workout without dread. Most are not that way. Making exercise fun is a great way to make it so you look forward to it.
