Having Fun 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.

Going for a ride helps you get fit. There is no doubt that exercise is good for you. But, the form of exercise you choose will have different types of benefits. Lifting weights build muscle. Jogging and running are great cardio but not always an option if you have knee problems or are not in good enough shape to endure. If you're worn out you're not having fun. On a tricycle, you can have fun because you are not stressing your knees, you are not leaning forward over the front tire, and you can just enjoy the ride while watching the scenery.

If you can't have fun, you will stop working out. Many gym memberships are based on the fact that a large percentage of their members will stop working out but still be required to pay. Though they do want their members to get fit, they overbook the capacity knowing the newness will wear off. Without the fun, it is all work and most will begin to dread signing up for that membership. Find an exercise routine that makes you think you're just having fun and not actually working out. This is the benefit of going for a ride.

Stability is a reason adults stop riding bikes. If it has been years since you've ridden a bike, you may be afraid that you've forgotten. The coordination that it takes to start and stop without falling over is enough to keep many adults from trying. With three wheels, you don't have to worry about that. You can put both feet on the pedals and start and stop without having to worry about the extra effort to avoid being humiliated.

Trikes are more comfortable. The speed bikes that many riders get are literally built for speed. They are designed for the rider to be hunched over as close to the frame of the bike as possible. For someone who is not in shape, this is not a very comfortable position. Trikes allow you to sit more upright and enjoy the ride. You can look around, not worry about your speed, and not hurt your back by being hunched over.

Commuting is a great way to exercise on the way to work. Many people like to ride their bike to work in the spring, summer, and fall when the weather is good. This is great, but for those that aren't comfortable with it, using a tricycle is actually safer. You have a bigger vehicle which means you are more visible in traffic, plus you can see what is going on around you.

Tours are available for group fun. Since many of your friends probably already have bikes and tricycles, you can go on group tours. Some may be organized by tour operators at well known natural wonders, others you can organize on your own. Take them camping and make your own group as you head off to see the views that are offered.

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.
