Recumbent bikes, in particular, are an excellent option for those with low back pain as the bike provides added support for the back. Recumbent bikes are also good for those who are new to cycling. The bottom line: a recumbent bike can provide a cardiovascular workout for users of virtually all ability levels.
1. 5-10 minute warmup on the Recumbent Bike. 2. 2 sets of 10 Leg Press Machine. Make sure to keep your feet a little wider than shoulder width apart. 3. 2 sets of 10 (each leg) Step-up. Use some risers if your club has them and set them up to be about 6 inches high. Make sure to keep your balance as you step up. To modify this exercise, place the risers near a wall and lean against the wall if needed to keep your balance. 4. 2 sets of 10 Seated Row Machine. As you pull the bars toward you, make sure to keep a tight grip and squeeze your shoulder blades together.
