Life Fitness R1 Advanced Recumbent Bike

The Life Fitness R1 Recumbent Lifecycle is an extremely comfortable and technologically advanced exercise bike, perfect for use in your own home. The seat is a reclining device and it can go back up to 20 degrees. This means that virtually everyone, whatever their body proportions and preferences, is assured of a comfortable posture that doesn’t strain the back. The back of the seat is made from a mesh fabric that breathes very well. It just adds to the overall comfort, and is characteristic of the attention to detail that Lifecycle has shown in order to offer the user the best possible experience.

The Life Fitness R1 Advanced is also very easy to install, and it comes with a complete set of clear instructions and all the necessary tools for hassle-free installation. Typically, it shouldn’t take more than an hour or hour-and-a-half to install and start using the bike. The quality of the construction cannot be faulted, and the sturdy bike has a lifetime warranty on its tough steel frame, and a 3-year one on all the parts. The maximum user weight it can handle is 300 pounds.

As far as the state-of-the-art features go, the bike is fitted with technology that monitors your heart-rate using contact and wireless monitors, and automatically adjusts the resistance level to keep you in your target heart-rate zone. There are five different heart rate controlled (‘HeartSync’) workouts, for different intensity levels. The wireless monitoring is done using a Polar HRM Chest Strap. Besides, the bike has an impressive 20 different resistance levels and offers its users 10 different workouts in all. There is absolutely no question of the Life Fitness R1 Advanced becoming repetitive and boredom setting in. The Advanced Workouts Console is an ideal combination with the R1. It gives its users even more variety, so that they can constantly challenge their fitness levels, and achieve their health goals successfully.

The other features of the bike include an integrated built-in reading rack, a dual accessory tray, and side and front-mounted handlebars. All in all, the R1 Recumbent Lifecycle With Advanced Console is as good an exercise bike for home use as you will find in the market.
