Question Has anyone ever used a motorized exercise bike?

I saw an add in the MD magazine and thought it might be helpful. Anybody?

Re: Has anyone ever used a motorized exercise bike?

It would probably feel good. I'd love to sit on one and just have that motor crank my legs around.

I last rode a real bike about 3 years ago. I rode slowly about 1 mile through my neighborhood. My thighs were on fire by the time I got home and my heart was going about 120 beats per minute. Getting going was the hardest part. I just didn't have the leg power to accelerate and wobbled dangerously until I got going. I gave my bike away to my daughter's friend right afterwards.

I'll have to look up that bike !

Re: Has anyone ever used a motorized exercise bike?

I know what you mean before I was dx and was in therapy for "my back" ha-ha, they had me ride an exercise bike and I too had the burning thighs AND my legs felt like spagetti for a long while after.

I did try and look it up online to see how much it would be, but I could't find out without calling or giving my e-mail. That's one reason I asked on here.

It sure would be nice to have one.

Thumbs up Re: Has anyone ever used a motorized exercise bike?

Helllo to all,
It's been awhile since I've been here but I'm doing well. I use a motorized cycle that sits on the floor. I love it. It gives my leg muscles a good workout and I don't have to worry about climbing on anything. It says I can use it on my hands but I haven't tried that yet. I found mine at a local thrift store for $10 but you can find them in other health stores and catalogs for about $150. It helps me because I'm still moving my legs even though I'm not actually walking.
