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.
A , Fitness, answered. I like the stationary bike for weight loss over the recumbent bike. With the stationary bike you have to use more postural muscles to perform your workout. With the recumbent bike you are going to use fewer muscles in your back and hips to stabilize your larger leg muscle doing the work. The main factor to remember in weight loss is, the more muscle you can work per exercise session the greater your metabolism will increase which will increase your calorie burn over the next 1-2 days.
