Smooth Fitness UB4 Upright Exercise Bike review

Smooth Fitness has been in the fitness equipment business for 25 years and have used all their knowledge and expertise in their range of exercise bikes. They’ve thought of everything, there’s the large comfortable seat to ease pressure that adjusts to a height suitable for someone of 6’6″ to workout. Then there’s the hand grip pulse monitor to see heart rate during your workout.

The 16 levels of resistance are delivered to the flywheel magnetically. Any change in resistance is smooth and you’ll just feel the ride getting harder as you pedal. Use the low levels for beginners or those wanting a long fat burning workout. The higher levels are good for a more strength workouts or a hill which you can control or automatically changed as part of an exercise program.

There are a choice of 24 exercise programs. Not even commercial bikes have this many. Many of the programs are designed to simulate a different course like the hill program. This gives you a moderate increase in intensity followed by a descent at the midpoint. There are also programs called rolling, valleys, ramps, precipice and more. You’ll enjoy trying them all and finding your favorite.

For those serious about improving their fitness then the heart rate programs are for you. You type in your age then the bike calculates your maximum heart rate. You set the program so you exercise at a percentage of your maximum heart rate like 55% up to 85%. The resistance changes to keep your heart rate at this level measured by the heart rate pulse grips. Any fitness expert will tell you this is one of the best ways of exercising for maximum results.

For practicality the bike should fit anywhere in the house. It can be moved easily due to the wheels for transporting. The bike can also be adjusted to cater for uneven floors. The build is solid and can take a user weight of 300 lbs. Overall the Smooth Upright UB4 exercise bike is a great bike for those wanting a good fitness workout in the home for any fitness level.
