Having Fun On A Trike Bike

By David Reed


Getting exercise is a great way to lose weight and get fit. There are many benefits to jumping on a bike and taking a ride. Your knees won't have to endure the stress of running or jogging. Other forms of exercise like working out in a gym are typically for building muscle and the cardio workouts are not as fun. Riding a trike bike is a great way to go for a ride without worrying about falling off if you're not used to the coordination a two-wheeled bike requires.

Getting outside in the good spring and summer weather is a great way to get fit. Going to the gym avoids the good weather and puts you in direct competition with people that are already in great shape. Those with knee problems are cautioned to avoid running and jogging to avoid additional damage. However, riding a bike or trike will give you the same benefits of going running without the stress it causes on the knees.

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.

Group tours are a great way to have fun with friends and family. Some tour operators will offer tricycles to groups to go on various outdoor tours. If your friends and family have their own, you can create your own tour. Load them up and take them out in the country or camping and use them to get around easily to see the views.

You have to have fun if you want to keep up with the exercise. There are some really disciplined people that can charge into the workout without dread. Most are not that way. Making exercise fun is a great way to make it so you look forward to it.
