Are you tired of searching for the most effective cardio equipment? With so many options to choose from (treadmills, ellipticals, rowing machines, and stationary bikes) it can be tough to decide how to get started. Each piece of equipment offers something a little different. Depending on your personal preferences and willingness to challenge yourself, any of these machines can offer tremendous benefits.

Many feel that recumbent bikes are more comfortable than other equipment because of their reclined position. You get full back support while sitting back on a larger seat. The bike lets you relax the muscles in your upper body and focus on your lower body and cardiovascular system.
