They offer the same aerobic benefits of riding a bicycle at any time, in any weather, without leaving the comfort and safety of home. Exercise bikes don't take up much space, require little or no balance or coordination, and can provide an effective workout for all levels of users, from beginners to serious competitors. While the same could be said for a number of other types of home fitness equipment, the exercise bike is one of the few that allows you to watch television or read a magazine while you work out. The term recumbent literally means "lying down." Exercising in a recumbent or reclining position allows the user to have full ergonomic back support, without causing strain on the arms, neck and shoulders, all of which can be common effects of using an upright bicycle. For many people, having convenient access to quality exercise equipment is critical to sticking with a long-term exercise program. |

Outstanding recumbent exercise bike! by C. L. MILLS  5 Stars
March 28, 2009
I shopped around for around 2 months before deciding on the Lifespan R3. I'm very glad I selected this recumbent exercise bike. It was pretty easy to assemble, easy to understand the control panel, and rock solid during use.
One thing I did was to mount a smaller LCD television over the display. Be careful to attach it securely if you do the same thing, although the bike does not really wobble much during use, and it is VERY quiet. I attached it so that I can still reach the control panel buttons by reaching behind the little LCD TV. I typically set the recumbent to automatically vary the resistance regularly to keep the ride more challenging and interesting.
Best of all, two of my kids have really taken to it. Overall my suggestion to you is to BUY THIS RECUMBENT EXERCISE BIKE!

2 years...works flawlessly by Robert T. Good (minneapolis) 5 Stars
December 09, 2008
The Lifespan R3 is just what we had hoped for. Quiet and solid. It hasn't required any repairs or adjustments in the 2 years we have owned it. All I can say is I wish our other excersize equipment were built with the same quality.

LifeSpan Fitness R3 Recumbent Bike by Ted Willoughby (Orange County, California) 5 Stars
August 13, 2008
I ordered this bike to help my wife rehabilitate from 4 months in the hospital. Being a recumbent makes it easier and more comfortable to sit in than a regular exercise bike.
Putting it together was somewhat difficult as I was doing it by myself. If you have some help it should be no problem.That aside all the parts were in separate labeled packs that matched a different area of the bike. No parts were missing. All tools needed were included (screwdriver, hex wrenches, etc.). The bike has built in leveling devices for use on a hard surface. The bike is well constructed and is absolutely silent when in use (after about a month of daily use by my wife and myself).
The bike features an electronic program for various difficulty levels and terrain. No matter what shape you are in you will be able to push yourself or take it easy if need be. The screen shows calories burned, speed, time and levels.
The heart rate meter is in the handle bars next to the seat. It's OK but you need to get sweaty before it works well.

Rare combination of features.... by Robert Koch (USA) 5 Stars
July 17, 2008
Been using for 4 weeks now. Only recumbant that has support for laptop computer. I watch DVD's and read email while cycling away. Excellent choice of programs, resistance, duration. Very quiet. Can actually ride quietly in bedroom without awakening partner. Strong construction. Aesthetic appearance. Would definitely recommend ! Quality of gym models.

Amazing Product by NY Baseball (NYC)  4 Stars
May 25, 2008
I researched the internet for two months before deciding on this recumbent bike. I was going to buy a treadmill, then an elliptical - because I am overweight and have had two knee surgeries I needed something that would be easy on the knees and back. Look no further - this product is everything and more for the person with bad knees, bad back and excess weight that needs to be lost in a comfortable and healthy manner. Unfortunately, I ordered it and Amazon then had to cancel as it went out of stock. Then I went to another place and it was cancelled for being out of stock. I called up the company directly to ask about the R2 and was told that they had one R3 left. I got it for 699 including shipping. I received it within 6 days. I put it together in less than an hour and the ride is smooth, quiet and I work up a good sweat - look no further - this is the product you want.
UPDATE:
I'm updating this on August 1, 2008
I started using the bike 2 times a week, then 3 times a week, now I use it every other day and working up to 6 times a week. I started using it for 10 minutes and have now worked my way up to 35 minutes a day. I'm losing weight and inches. (I'm also watching what I eat and drinking lots of water) This bike is worth the money so invest in yourself and buy this one.
