7. Stationary Biking
You can still peddle for miles on end with this cardio favorite. Pick a stationary bike that suits your needs; recumbent bikes have the pedals in front they don’t rely on using the wrists or hands on the handlebars (as you would with a spin bike).
Indoor cycling is good for your heart, hips, and knees and has little impact on the weight-bearing joints. With only a few quick setting adjustments, the bike can be customized to fit you. Over time you can increase your speed and resistance level.
