Pedal Exerciser
Do Pedal Exercisers really work for cardiovascular fitness?
I’d like to know what physical fitness people – or physical therapy people – think of the Pedal Exercisers. Can a person actually get a real cardiovascular workout from using one of these? Or are they really just for “working the joints”, or scam items?
I need to do some kind of cardio exercising due to my recovering from minor foot surgery – - however I cannot walk for cardio . . . I’m limited to 3 blocks at the present time. Also, I was laid off from my job so my budget is tight right now. Whatever I do, I must do it at home.
My doctor recommended I do some kind of cardio-exercises for stamina & staying in shape.
What do you think of Peddle Exercisers? Or – what would you recommend instead? Thank you for your suggestions.
Do you mean a portable peddling device? (as opposed to a bike?)
If so, its difficult for most people with a relative amount of fitness to get their hear rate up enought for it to be considered cardiovascular.
Yet, if you are incredible deconditioned, this might suit you well
In the end, anything can be a cardiovascular exercise as long as you maintain your heart rate at 65% or higher (depending on which leading authority you ask) of your maximum heart rate and sustain that for at least 20 minutes.
However, you should clear it with your foot surgeon as to whether or not you should be allowed to do a peddle exerciser.
