The Spirit Fitness CR800 Recumbent Bike provides a more comfortable alternative to traditional cardiovascular exercise equipment found in home gyms, commercial gyms or physical therapy settings. Because of its laid-back, comfortable chair design, this semi-recumbent bike is much more comfortable than an upright bike, which places more weight on the hips and knees. The Spirit Fitness CR800 Recumbent Stationary Bike takes weight off the joints and places the body in a comfortable, ergonomic position. Using the bike for sustained periods of time helps build muscle and promotes weight loss. Because the Fasttrack Spirit Fitness CR800 Recumbent Stationary Bike offers back support, a larger seat, and a lower ground clearance, it is ideal for use with elderly patients and those with limited mobility.
