Workouts will never be boring again with the ProForm 5.0 R recumbent exercise bike. Equipped with four built-in GameFit video games--Blackjack, Blocker, Calorie Destroyer, and Texas Hold'Em--the 5.0 R will keep you entertained throughout your fitness session. More significantly, the games will contribute to your conditioning, as they get easier based on how hard you exercise so you can get the most of your workout time.

The bike includes a GameFit interactive video game system.

Of course, the bike isn't all about gamesmanship, as it also includes oversized cushioned pedals designed for stability and proper foot placement, along with a built-in heart rate monitor. As a result, you can both ride in comfort and stay in the correct training zone to reach your goals. Perhaps the handiest feature, however, is the step-through recumbent frame, which makes it easy to get on and off the bike. The recumbent frame is ideal for people with lower back problems, older workout enthusiasts, and people who are recovering from injury and can't put too much stress on their joints.

Other details include a Target Pacer that lights up when you need to work a little harder or slow down a bit, a Silent Magnetic Resistance (SMR) system, and a padded adjustable seat.

About Recumbent Exercise Bikes
Despite the competition from trendy new fitness inventions, exercise bikes continue to be popular options for home exercise. They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out.

The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program.
