Smooth Fitness RB5 Semi Recumbent Exercise Bike review

With the Smooth RB5 recumbent bike you get all the unique benefits of riding in the recumbent position. There are virtually no weight baring stresses on the joints and back. The legs get a fuller workout especially in the buttocks and upper leg areas. Plus what many like is the recumbent position leaves you free to make that phone call or read a book.

The Smooth RB5 Recumbent has 20 levels of resistance which are applied magnetically. This means you feel a smooth gradual difference in tension as you ride when a difference is applied. The can be changed at the touch of a button or automatically as part of an exercise program.

The range of exercise programs allow you to get specific workouts which can be as hard or easy as you like. The random program has a choice of 50 different courses whose intensity you can change at the touch of a button. The interval program has you riding in repeated periods of low intensity then high intensity which is great for improving overall stamina. What’s more it can be finely tuned to 10 different levels of difficulty suiting any fitness level.

They work by adjusting the resistance to keep your heart rate at a predetermined level to maximize the fat burn or endurance depending on what you go for. This has the possibility of giving the most effective of workouts for the effort you put in.
