Recumbent Bike Workout Routines Now that you have your recumbent bike, it’s time to start using it! Here are a few workout routines to get you started: Beginner Workout If you’re new to using a recumbent bike, start with a simple workout routine that incorporates a few different resistance levels. Begin with a 5-minute warm-up at a low resistance level, then increase the resistance and pedal for 30 seconds at a moderate pace. Decrease the resistance and pedal for 2 minutes at a slow pace. Repeat this cycle for 20-30 minutes, then finish with a 5-minute cool-down at a low resistance level. Interval Training Interval training is a great way to increase your cardio fitness and burn more calories. Start with a 5-minute warm-up at a low resistance level, then increase the resistance and pedal at a high intensity for 30 seconds. Decrease the resistance and pedal at a low intensity for 2 minutes. Repeat this cycle for 20-30 minutes, then finish with a 5-minute cool-down at a low resistance level. Hill Climb If you want to challenge yourself, try a hill climb workout. Begin with a 5-minute warm-up at a low resistance level, then increase the resistance to a high level and pedal at a slow pace for 2 minutes. Decrease the resistance and pedal at a moderate pace for 2 minutes. Repeat this cycle for 20-30 minutes, then finish with a 5-minute cool-down at a low resistance level.
