What’s the best exercise equipment to have at home? If I only have room for ONE, what should it be?

You’re better off with a recumbent bike. It’s a kind of stationary bike that’s more comfy than the upright bike. The recumbent bike has a larger seat with means you are able to sit more comfortably as you work out. The bigger seat allows you to balance your body better on the machine so you can better focus on exercising. This bike puts you in a reclining position so you are more relaxed, and you’re less likely to experience lower back strain. You won’t feel too much pressure on your legs because the pedals are in front. Yes, given the same amount of time, you’ll be burning slightly fewer calories than you would with an upright stationary bike but in the long run, your body will benefit more with a recumbent bike because you can sustain workouts longer.   

A recumbent bike makes for a great equipment for cardio and muscular workout. They are also much safer unlike the treadmill or the upright bike where you can pedal while standing – something you can’t do on a recumbent bike. You can refer to buying guides from Basic Training San Francisco when you’ve decided to get a recumbent bike for your home.
