What’s better a recumbent or regular exercise bicycle?

Posted on 8th July 2010 by admin in comfort bicycle

Is there much difference in calories burned, quality of exercise or comfort? The bicycle will be used for general weight loss and fitness purposes, not hardcore training.

As long as you put the effort in I dont think there is much of a difference in terms of calories burnt. The only difference, I think, recumbent bikes offer back support and a larger seat which may be more comfortable for certain people. In my opinion its just personal preference.
