Fitnex R50-S Recumbent Exercise Bike Review
The Fitnex R50-S recumbent exercise bike is comfortable, effective, and compact, giving you an aerobic workout that boots your cardiovascular system without taking up a lot of space. Since it is a recumbent bike (recumbent meaning “lying down,”) it is an ideal option for those concerned with straining their lower back. You can work out legs, hips, and buttocks, without the shock aerobic exercises can give. The contact heart rate grips on either side of the seat let you monitor your cardiovascular workout, getting constant feedback on your heart rate without stopping your ride.
The Fitnex R50-S recumbent exercise bike is an optimal choice for both beginners and experienced riders, offering a variety of workout settings. The swing arm on which the computerized console sits can swing to allow easy mounting and dismounting. This feature is especially useful for those with back or joint problems, and users who enjoy watching TV while they ride. The console works in either position, so you can have the benefit of a clear front view, but still access all of the features, readings, and settings you need. The arm swings only to the right, so you don’t need full clearance all the way around the bike to use this feature.
Console features on the Fitnex R50-S recumbent bike include two window options, dot matrix and LED. The console provides feedback on load, calories, speed, time, distance, and revolutions per minute. It has a large, easy to read display so you can check your stats at a glance and not miss your favorite TV show. Who says you cannot recline and watch a little TV while you workout? In fact, keeping your mind distracted may even allow you to work out longer, thus making routine exercise less like a chore.
In deciding on your level of challenge for each workout on the Fitnex R50-S Recumbent Exercise Bike, you will have the choice of 16 levels of resistance. The Magnetic Arc Distancing Resistance allows you to modify as you train. There are 6 pre-set workout profiles, allowing you variety in your training schedule and exercise routine. Choose between interval, racing, weight loss, heart rate control, or rolling, depending on your specific fitness goals. If you vary your workout programs, you can be sure to maximize your aerobic routine by targeting different goals each time you hop on. Keep track and monitor your readings with each session so that you can reach whatever fitness goals you set.
