Fitness Over 40 and the Careful Cardiovascular Exercise - The Stationary Bike
Cardiovascular exercises are helpful for burning off calories. When we are working to lose weight, burning more calories in a day and consuming less will create the calorie deficit we need to shed pounds. When you are starting into an exercise program or starting back after time away you need to make sure that you take things at a pace that your body and joints can take. If we are carrying extra weight; which can happen as we age, this will involve extra weight on our joints and stress on our hearts so taking on a fitness regime will involve a slow and steady pace. The important element that can not be overlooked is consistency. To remain consistent you never want to overdo it, risking injury or become discouraged. There are ways to get into the routine that may make it easier to remain consistent and one way would be to start your cardiovascular routine with a stationary bicycle.
There are several benefits of utilizing a stationary bike for those in the early phases of working out. First, they are not complicated to use, you simple sit and pedal. Some will offer various intensities or programs that will have you going up and down in intensity. A manual setting will allow you to take intensity up and down on your own. Keep in mind, that you do need to challenge yourself and change up your program to yield results so pushing yourself to work a little harder, or a little longer is a key component to success. The bike will have a function to tell you distance, time and calories. Always push for a little more! The other benefits with respect to the simplicity involve the fact that you can pretty much pedal with little thought or concentration. You're seated so keeping your balance should be happening naturally... so, read a book or magazine if you like! Would you be surprised to hear that some people use a laptop when they pedal? This relaxed posture has the added benefit of no harsh impact on knees, or stress on your back as well.
The stationary bike at a lower resistance can work as a perfect tool for warming up the heart, limbering up the legs and getting ready for a work out. As you feel you are able to increase the intensity you will be helping with your cardiovascular endurance and burning more calories and consequently burning fat. The bike can offer you something that will grow with you as you become more advanced with your fitness level working at a high intensity. It is very gentle on the joints and with less pressure and stress, you will experience less soreness. This will help to keep you going back for more, because consistency with your program is what you need most!

the first couple of days i was really sore but after a couple of weeks my legs became really toned and seemed more muscular
