Ergometer couch

Cardio training that is particularly easy on the back

Recumbent exercise bikes combine a semi-recumbent training position with a cardio workout that is particularly easy on the back and comfortable. The thigh and buttock muscles are used more intensively than with conventional exercise bikes. A low step makes it easy to get on and off.

The difference to conventional ergometers

While the conventional ergometer simulates the classic position you assume on a road bike, the sitting position on a recumbent ergometer is particularly comfortable. The semi-recumbent position offers just as effective a workout as conventional exercise bikes.



Rehabilitation or starting training without restrictions

Recumbent ergometers originally come from the rehabilitation sector, where they are favoured for treating problems with the lumbar spine in order to provide a comfortable workout in combination with a high backrest. Due to the generous seat surface, semi-recumbent ergometers are also particularly suitable for overweight users. Recumbent ergometers with low entry offer particular advantages for users who have problems getting onto conventional ergometers due to injury or age-related restrictions.

Training on an ergometer offers a variety of benefits and is well suited to different fitness goals and needs.

Improving cardiovascular health: Exercising on an ergometer, such as a cycle ergometer or rowing ergometer, increases the heart rate and improves the endurance of the cardiovascular system. Regular exercise on an ergometer can help to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and improve overall heart health.

Increased endurance: Exercising on an ergometer improves aerobic endurance. This means that you increase your ability to be active for longer periods of time without tiring. This can have an impact on everyday activities, sporting performance and general physical resilience.

Calorie burning and weight loss: Exercising on an ergometer can effectively help to burn calories and therefore contribute to weight loss or weight control. Depending on the intensity and duration of the training, training on an ergometer can enable a high energy burn.

Joint-friendly training: Training on an ergometer, especially on equipment such as a cycle ergometer or a cross trainer, is easier on the joints compared to other high-impact exercises such as jogging. This is beneficial for people with joint problems or injuries who still want to do effective endurance training.

Individual customisation options: Ergometers usually offer various resistance settings, training programmes and tracking functions that allow training to be adapted to individual needs and fitness goals. This enables a controlled and targeted training load.

Weather-independent training: Training on an ergometer makes it possible to train regardless of the weather conditions. You can train both indoors and outdoors and therefore enjoy consistent training opportunities.
