DAVINA FOLDING X BIKE GREY/YELLOW

Product Information

When it comes to shopping for an exercise bike or fitness equipment, everyone has requirements and things to consider. You have to think about space, your budget, if something is reliable and if you are getting your money’s worth. You might even try something smaller and cheaper to get yourself started and move up as you progress. An important thing to remember though is that not everyone has space and money for a big piece of equipment. That’s where the Davina folding exercise bike comes in. Overall, the assembly does not seem to have caused anyone problems. Wrapping Up: Is the Pleny Folding Exercise Bike with Resistance Bands Right for You? The other resistance is via attached resistance bands. These are elasticated bands, which you pull towards you. They allow you to work your arms / shoulders, and to burn some extra calories while you peddle. Pleny F Bike Console and Tablet Holder Before beginning any exercise or nutrition program, consult your physician, doctor or other professional. This is especially important for individuals over the age of 35 or persons with pre-existing health problems. Exercise.co.uk assumes no responsibility for personal injury or property damage sustained using our advice. The tension control is good, however I had to turn it to almost maximum before I was at a comfortable level where I could feel I was really putting my muscles under some stress. For the majority of users this won’t be an issue but for regular cyclists or naturally heavier people this may be of concern.

Resistance bands add a welcome angle – a way to work out your upper body. This is great if you are short on time, and with some extra calorie burning potential.

Detailed Review of the Pleny 2-in-1 Folding Exercise Bike

If you are split between a recumbent style bike and an upright folding model – then this unit certainly covers both bases. It folds between rides for easy storage and is adjustable enough to cover different sized users. On the negative side, some users had problems with the resistance. There were mixed messages about the service. Some buyers said this was excellent, others said they got no reply at all. For such a small unit it offers a surprisingly sturdy frame with a good level of support and comfortable hand grips. I have to say it’s starting to grow on me. Adjustbale seat Secondly the seat foam is usually ridged when leaving the factory and becomes softer over time. After a few weeks it will become noticeable softer as you ride.

If you hold your hand on the front handlebar, you get a readout of your heart rate on the console. This is a great way of showing that you worked out hard enough. This bike is not a mains powered bike, you have to place the 2xAAA batteries into the LCD unit and you can start. First thoughts and build quality You change the resistance using a simple dial at the front under the console. There are 16 levels. This not only makes the bike suitable for anyone of different fitness levels – it means that it will stay with you as your own fitness improves.Your call on resistance– a twisting resistance dial changes the difficulty over eight levels to manage the intensity of your workout with ease, to make sure you’re working at the right level a heart rate monitor in the hand grips makes sure you’re not pushing too hard, or too little either. I have to admit that my first thought were a mixture or good and bad. Firstly the quality was not as high as the Jet 100 bike that I use as part of my normal workout, but it would be wrong to even compare the two.
