To be honest, my preferred workout is the exercise bike. I think it's because of the fact that I can read or watch TV and peddle at the same time. I find that I have total control over the amount of energy I want to expend on the exercise bike. The exercise bike is also a great leg builder. Simply add more resistance to stimulate more muscle growth. I also love to use the exercise bike before a heavy leg session because it warms up the legs, especially the knee area quite nicely.

One of the top benefits of exercise bikes is that they are probably the most affordable piece of exercise equipment on the market right now.

Another great benefit of exercise bikes is that they provide a much lower impact on your joints and ligaments than other piece of exercise equipment like a treadmill or stair climber. This can result in less chance of sustained injury over time and can also be great for people with joint problems, arthritis, etc.

Here are just some of the benefits you can excpect to recieve while regularly exercising on an exercise bike:

- You'll develop and strengthen the quadriceps muscles, the gluteal muscles, and the hamstring muscles

- There is virtually no impact from your upper weight so it's easy on your knees and joints

- It provides a great cardio workout

- Very safe. You don't have to worry about getting hit by a car or being chased by crazy dogs
