Fun And 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.

Getting outside in the good spring and summer weather is a great way to get fit. Going to the gym avoids the good weather and puts you in direct competition with people that are already in great shape. Those with knee problems are cautioned to avoid running and jogging to avoid additional damage. However, riding a bike or trike will give you the same benefits of going running without the stress it causes on the knees.

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.

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.

Comfort makes longer rides more likely. Speed bikes are made so the rider hugs the frame. This helps them get more speed, but this isn't needed to get exercise. Being able to sit up and look around while riding adds a beautiful view to the whole experience. Hunching over is an uncomfortable position for most people and staring at the ground isn't exactly fun.

Getting to work will be much easier. Those that like to exercise by riding their bike on the way to work usually love it. However, the bike is a much smaller frame and puts them at risk. Having the three wheels makes the frame bigger and more noticeable. Being on a stable vehicle also avoids the risk of falling into traffic at a stop or when you start up when the light turns green. You can also look around your area more easily.

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.

Having fun is key to keeping a good exercise routine going. People will give up if they don't like heading to the gym. Instead, finding a good way to get exercise while having fun takes your mind off the work and makes it a pleasant experience.
