    The recumbent bike offers the same cardio workout as an upright exercise bike. Still, it is much safer and easier to access and has a more comfortable seated position for elderly individuals, especially those with back issues and weakened muscles. This comfort should make your workouts more enjoyable and less strenuous.

    Begin by warming up for five minutes by using the recumbent bike at level one at a speed of 60 RPM. Once the five minutes are up, increase the resistance level to two for about six minutes. After that, increase the resistance level to three and exercise for five more minutes. Push up the resistance level to four and keep it there for four minutes.
