Looking for a cardio solution that’s low-impact, compact, and effective? Discover Gym Direct’s range of Upright Exercise Bikes – perfect for home workouts, injury recovery, and senior-friendly fitness.
What is an Upright Exercise Bike?
It’s a stationary bike designed to mimic the feel of outdoor cycling while supporting good posture and engaging your core. Unlike recumbent bikes, which feature a reclined seat with back support, upright bikes keep you in a vertical, forward-leaning position. This posture activates more muscle groups, especially your core, glutes, and hamstrings, offering a more intense, calorie-burning workout.
Recumbent Exercise Bike vs Upright Exercise Bike – Which is better?
It depends on your goals. Recumbent exercise bikes are generally better for people with lower back issues or limited mobility, thanks to their supportive seat and relaxed position. On the other hand, upright exercise bikes are ideal for those who want a more traditional cycling experience and a greater cardio challenge in a smaller footprint.
Whether you’re after high-intensity sessions or a daily low-impact ride, our upright bikes are a versatile choice for all fitness levels. They're especially great for recovery programs and seniors seeking gentle yet effective movement.
