Bike Riding For Exercise - How Effective is It?
Bike riding for exercise is one effective way of staying fit and toned and building physical endurance. In biking, almost all parts of the body are exercised, from the legs to the thighs to the abdomen and even the arms. Cycling, though, is more recommended to people who wish to strengthen the lower part of their body since the upper half does not get as much activity as the lower part when it comes to riding a bike.
Exercise for busy people
Although riding road bikes along various terrain might be a lot more fun than cycling indoors, some people just don't have the time to venture outdoors and work on their fitness. For these busy individuals, there is the option of indoor biking. Exercise bikes for use inside the home or in gyms are readily available and serve the same function as road bikes. They can use either the recumbent or the upright type and choose from various brands like ProForm, Nautilus, Schwinn and Life Fitness.
How biking works the muscles
Cycling, even indoors, allows a person to strengthen his or her legs, thighs and glutes. It is an effective cardiovascular activity and can help tone the muscles and keep a person fit. Pedaling strengthens the legs and helps make the inner thighs firm. It also helps accelerate metabolism, increase heart rate and helps burn calories. A person can lose weight, become stronger and keep fit with a proper cycling program.
Equipment for the activity
For people who prefer a more strenuous exercise program, an upright exercise bike machine would be ideal. It is much the same as a road bike where the rider would be required to use the pedals in a vertical, albeit stationary, position. For individuals new to exercising, or those who suffer from back pains and injuries, the recumbent is the more preferred type of exercise equipment. A recumbent bike puts the rider in a more horizontal position, with a backrest to protect his back and the feet out in front for pedaling.
Modern features
To compensate for the lack of outdoor views and varying terrain, some manufacturers of indoor exercise bikes have incorporated virtual programs into their products wherein the rider can enter a virtual setting simulating an outdoor experience. Adjustable resistance features and pre-programmed add-ons also allow the rider to simulate uphill or downhill terrains, allowing him or her to vary the exercise program and move various muscles.
People interested in bike riding for exercise need to be careful before starting a cycling regimen. A consultation with a physical fitness expert on what type of program is the most appropriate and what equipment to use is the first step that should be taken by those who like cycling exercises. Just like outdoor biking, indoor cycling can also cause injuries and pains if the program is not done right and the activity is not guided or sanctioned by a physical fitness expert.

Treadmill vs. Elliptical -- Who's In The Lead?
See ya later stationary bikes and row, row, rowing to no where!
Elliptical trainers have over taken stationary bikes in popularity with the gym-going population and have long since left rowing machines back at the dock. This is evidenced by gym operators reducing the number of stationary bikes and rowing machines in their facilities to make way for newer varieties of elliptical trainers.
During their day (1980s) stationary bikes and rowing machines along with steppers and climbing machines were about the only options in cardio equipment. You could get a good cardio workout if you stayed on these machines for at least 30 minutes. Though sitting on a stationary bike for that long can leave you with a sore butt. Studies have shown that prolonged use of stationary bikes can lead to impotence in some men. Sure doesn't sound like something I'd want to chance!
Stationary bikes still have their use - hop on one for about 5-10 minutes for a quick warm up for your quads and knees before launching into a heavy leg workout consisting of squats and leg presses. Given the choices in cardio equipment these days, whenever I see someone at a health club slogging away at the lone rowing machine I think -- "must be a new member."
David vs. Goliath
Treadmills have been around longer than elliptical trainers and remain hugely popular. Treadmills must have something going for them. The great thing about treadmills is they simulate the experience of both jogging and walking -- both great cardio exercises. With treadmills you can bring your jogging or walking indoors -- no need (or excuse) to miss a workout because it's raining, snowing, too hot, too cold, etc.
Treadmills have programs that allow you to add variety and challenge to your workouts. You can also increase the incline on many treadmills to further increase the intensity of your treadmill workout and also target other muscles in your lower body more directly. Treadmills have the additional advantage over jogging and running that the belt provides more cushioning to your joints than pounding away on asphalt or concrete. However, treadmills still are much more of an impact exercise than that offered by elliptical trainers.
There's just something more graceful and less stressful about exercising on a quality-made elliptical trainer than a treadmill. And let's face it, many people will agree that working out on an elliptical trainer is somehow less boring than pounding away on a treadmill. Maybe it's not a coincidence that another expression for the "rat race" is "going around on a treadmill!"

Benefits Of Exercising Using An Elliptical Machine
The positive results on our body from exercise have been known for a very long time, but not all exercising machines go about giving you these benefits in the same manner. And some machines can actually damage your body if not used properly. Today you have such a wide variety of machines to use at the health club that you may feel a little overwhelmed! However the newest machine, the elliptical trainer appears to be the best choice for many people and the benefits of exercising using an elliptical machine are very substantial.
The Benefits Of An Elliptical
Ease Of Use: First and foremost the elliptical machine was designed to be very easy to use, many of today's machines do not require programming a routine or pushing a bunch of buttons to get the machine working. Most ellipticals you can hop on and start exercising immediately.
Efficient Total Body Workout: Many of today's elliptical machines, from the smaller home models to the large commercial models at the gym all utilize some sort of upper body workout handle. Being able to work the whole body effectively in 20-30 minutes is definitely one of the best benefits of exercising using an elliptical machine. This feature will allow you to get in and out of the gym in quickly.
Easy On The Body: Many people who workout find one of the great benefits of working out using an elliptical machine is that it does not cause any joint or shin pain and discomfort that you can get from machines like the treadmill or lower back pain that some people experience on stationary bikes. In fact many athletes who are rehabilitating and injury do so on the elliptical trainer.
Although this is just a small sample of the benefits of exercising using an elliptical machine they are the ones that people tend to notice right away when they use the machine for the first time. However the only way that you can discover how these machines can benefit you is to go try one out at the gym!

How to Use Elliptical Workout Machines to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain and Get in Shape Fast
Gaining weight seems to be an easy thing to do, especially around the holiday seasons. It so easy that between thanksgiving and new years its common for people to gain and extra five to ten pounds. Losing this extra weight is much harder then it was to gain.
However the easiest way to avoid holiday weight gain is to set your body up to burn maximum calories and have an increased metabolism. This can be easily accomplished with elliptical workout machines.
Why Use Elliptical Machines?
Because of their unique design elliptical machines are very easy on your body and will not cause pain to people with sensitive or damaged joints. This gives many people who were once unable to workout the ability to enjoy a great low impact workout.
Elliptical trainers also offer a great aerobic workout and an aerobic workout is a key part of any body conditioning or weight loss routine. Without bringing your heart up to these levels you are just going through the motions.
With the elliptical treadmill you can vary your speed, and work your upper body with the levers. You can also run safely backwards in order to target your muscles a different way!
Do Not Forget Weight Training
While they re great for condition ing and weight loss the one thing that elliptical workout machines will not do is build lean muscle mass. For this you are going to have to do some resistance training on either free weights or weight machines.
Try to fit in a workout about three times a week using the ellipticals and the other two days incorporate your resistance training. Give yourself at least two days of rest during the week in order for your body to rest and recover.
Failure to give your self adequate rest time can result in over training and injury and this will keep you sidelined and unable to attain your fitness goals and avoid holiday weight gain.
