Having Fun 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.

Getting outside and riding will help get you fit. The type of exercise that you choose to do is going to have certain benefits. Some exercises are only designed for building muscle. Some exercises practically require you to already be in shape to be able to keep up with it. However, if you have knee problems or a bit out of shape, you want to use a method that will fit your ability and provide the cardio that you need to lose weight.

Dread is the number one reason people give up on gym memberships. They simply get tired of the work part of the workout. Running on a treadmill isn't as fun as being out with a pet or friends and family. Since so many people already have bikes, getting one that fits your needs will make it easier to join them in a group outing. Having fun will take your thoughts off the actual work you're doing.

Stability is a reason adults stop riding bikes. If it has been years since you've ridden a bike, you may be afraid that you've forgotten. The coordination that it takes to start and stop without falling over is enough to keep many adults from trying. With three wheels, you don't have to worry about that. You can put both feet on the pedals and start and stop without having to worry about the extra effort to avoid being humiliated.

Tricycles are more comfortable. Ten-speed bikes are built with the handles in line with the seat. This puts you in a position where you are leaning forward at an extreme angle and often just looking at the ground as you ride. With the tricycle, you can sit more upright, which is better for people who are not in the best shape and can't lean forward on a bike. You won't be hunched over and you can look around to see the beautiful views as you ride.

Riding to work adds more exercise to your day. If you live close enough to ride to work, you will be safer on the tricycle. The frame is bigger and with three wheels you're more likely to be noticed. You also won't have to worry about struggling to start up without falling into the traffic next to you.

Getting friends and family together to go on a tour is a lot of fun. Most people have bikes or can get one. If you are away on vacation there are many places to rent them. Taking a tour with people you love adds to the vacation and is exercise at the same time.

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.
