Also known as the seated bicycle.
How to get started on the recumbent bike
So now that I’ve thoroughly hyped up this low risk/high reward machine, here are some key recommendations on how to best use it.To find the proper position for the bike seat, put one foot on the pedal and push it away as far as it goes. Your knee should have just a slight bend in it; make sure the knee isn’t locked out—this can put extra pressure into the knee joint.
If you have no issues after a handful of sessions then you’ve found your optimal position. However, if you do have some ongoing discomfort, then try a position with slightly more knee bend. Every body is different so you have to find what works for yours.For the first week, ride for 20 minutes at a low resistance setting. Your exertion level should be around a three or four out of 10 . Do this three times during the week. The goal is simply to get you used to the bike.
