Advantages Of An Adult Tricycle

By Nancy Scott


Getting fit while having fun is a summer tradition. The cold weather is gone, the sun is out and the rain has faded. This combination almost requires outside activities. It is something most people look forward to for months. For those that are not in the best of shape, the thought of exercising might bring up some anxiety or cause hesitation. By riding an adult tricycle, you can get out and enjoy the weather without worry about turning exercise into a job or something that you won't enjoy.

Getting fit is a summer goal for many people. The excuses are gone when it comes to finding ways to get out of exercising. So, with this new spirit of desire to get fit, it is time to get busy. The summer offers many opportunities to do so. You can play sports, join outdoor fitness clubs, or go for a ride. These are all valid and fun ways to get fit. For many, going for a ride is the best option.

Enjoying the exercise is part of sticking to a routine. The fact that an exercise regimen is tough and difficult is a barrier to most adults trying to get in shape. It is important to find an exercise that you can enjoy and look forward to, rather than one that you dread every day. Riding bikes and trikes is one way to accomplish this. You get to be out in the sun, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying the scenery. These will provide encouragement as family activities to get fit together.

Intimidation stops people in their tracks. Being afraid of riding a bike stops many adults from trying it as a fun exercise. They're afraid they'll forget how to do it, or that they'll be humiliated by falling over in front of friends. Riding a trike eliminates these fears and makes it much easier to have the same kind of fun. With three wheels, you are stable and won't fall over. You can even keep your feet on the pedals when you come to a stop, making it much easier to coordinate than a two-wheel bike.

Comfort is key. Speed bikes are designed for the rider to be bent over and become one with the frame. This makes them more aerodynamic to allow them to speed down the race track. For those that are not trying to win a race, this can be an uncomfortable position. With the tricycle, you can either sit back or upright while you ride. It is easier on your back and you have the benefit of seeing everything around you.

The two types are upright and recumbent. The first one allows you to sit tall on the trike with the pedals directly beneath you. The second is designed for you to sit low to the ground and back in a bucket seat. This gives you more comfort, allows you to go faster, and ride longer. The pedals are out in front of you so the way you ride will take some practice, but you won't fall over.

Going on a group tour is a lot of fun. If you don't have friends or family that ride, or even if you do, joining a group tour is a great way to go for a ride and see things you would otherwise miss. Rather than just riding around your neighborhood, a tour takes you down a road or path with scenic views in a group that signed up just for that.

You need to enjoy your exercise in order to stick with it. Most do not have the discipline to stick with a routine if it is not fun and enjoyable. Going for a ride gives you great cardio style workouts while having fun and seeing the world around you.
