Having Fun On A Trike Bike

By David Reed


Medical professionals constantly push the idea that exercise is an important part of getting in good shape. The problem is, there are so many options that make exercise into work. Finding a way to get the type of exercise you need and still enjoy it is key to sticking with it. Working out by lifting weights builds muscle but doesn't reduce fat. Jogging, running, and even riding a bike may not be an option for people who are more out of shape because of the stress it can cause. Having a trike bike can eliminate the issues and provide a great way to have fun while getting in shape.

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.

Three wheels are more stable. As kids, we looked forward to losing those training wheels. As adults, we've forgotten how to ride the two-wheel beasts. In fact, we tend to avoid them if it has been too many years for fear of being humiliated by falling over while trying to coordinate the brakes and foot positions. Using a trike allows you to stop without ever having to take your feet off of the pedals. You won't fall over and will not need to learn to push off when you begin again.

Tricycles are more comfortable. Ten-speed bikes are built with the handles in line with the seat. This puts you in a position where you are leaning forward at an extreme angle and often just looking at the ground as you ride. With the tricycle, you can sit more upright, which is better for people who are not in the best shape and can't lean forward on a bike. You won't be hunched over and you can look around to see the beautiful views as you ride.

Getting to work will be much easier. Those that like to exercise by riding their bike on the way to work usually love it. However, the bike is a much smaller frame and puts them at risk. Having the three wheels makes the frame bigger and more noticeable. Being on a stable vehicle also avoids the risk of falling into traffic at a stop or when you start up when the light turns green. You can also look around your area more easily.

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.

Having fun is key to keeping a good exercise routine going. People will give up if they don't like heading to the gym. Instead, finding a good way to get exercise while having fun takes your mind off the work and makes it a pleasant experience.
