Not everyone feels comfortable enough to go to a gym regularly. That is why there is home fitness equipment. But what if you live in an apartment? You are probably strapped for room. Enter the compact exercise bikes.
Compact exercise bikes are just the thing for folks that live in small quarters, yet still want the convenience of a piece of home fitness equipment. Like their gym counterparts, compact exercise bikes for the home come with a dizzying array of features and add ons.
The smaller fitness bikes come in a wide range of prices too. If you are just starting out for example, check out the Schwinn bikes, models 101 and 131. Both of these bikes are very well made and very reasonable in price.
These days, everyone is looking for a bargain, and why not? Exercise bikes are no exception. A quick look on EBay or Craigslist will turn up many used bikes, and used bikes are not necessarily cheap! Just make sure to do a lot of research before you plunk down money for a used fitness bike.
Fitness bikes come in both upright and recumbent variety, although as a rule, upright exercise bikes will almost always have a smaller footprint than their recumbent cousins. But recumbents will always be the better bikes for comfort.
So if you don't feel like hanging out at the gym, maybe want to watch TV while you workout, but live in cramped quarters, think about acquiring one of the number of compact exercise bikes on the market today!
