Recumbent Bike

As a women I found that the Recumbent exercise bikes are be more beneficial to me. The term recumbent means lying down. Not only is the recumbent seating position easier on the back but, the support it gives is also a great benefit. This particular bike has less strain on the arms, neck and shoulders than an upright bike.

This style bike does not take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination and provides an effective workout for all levels of users. Using an exercise bike of this nature makes it easy to stick to a long-term program.


Bowflex Dumbells

I recently took an interest in weight lifting. I was very happy to find Bowflex dumbbells on line for a very good price. While looking for my dumbbells I found out that dumbbells started in the 19th century and was originally called clubbells.

The dumbbells use to be hollow globes that were filled with sand or lead shot. I am glad that by the end of the century they started using the plate loading barbell that we have today.
