Recumbent Exercise Bike
What’s the difference between an Exercise Bike and Recumbent bike?? (read description)?
i was at the gym yesterday and going again tomorrow, i was using a recumbent bike most of the time..whats the difference between an exercise bike and a recumbent bike?? i know the seats are different and a recumbent one has more back support or something but is there a difference in the end result after using it??
which one is better??
..any other info would help too 
It’s like difference between a car and a Prius. A recumbent is a format of bike (Prius), while and exercise bike is the purpose (car). In other words and exercise bike is ANY form of bike used for exercise in a fixed position, while a recumbent is the specific form of exercise bike.
In practice with a recumbent the rider is semi-reclining with back supported and legs extending in front to pedal. On an upright exercise bike you are sitting on a saddle more or less like a “normal” bike with pedals below you. The exercise is more or less the same (rotate pedals against a resistance) but the exact ways in which the exercise benefits you differ slightly because the muscles are used in slightly different ways. The recumbent form is somewhat easier on people with back problems (and the flat seat is possibly more comfortable.
Which is ‘better’ really depends on the person using it. In my view, it’s whichever encourages the user to spend more time on the bike using it. Personally I prefer to use my regular bike outside in all but the worst weather … and mounted on a resistance trainer if that isn’t feasible.
