Choosing the Best Home Cardio Machine

Tension

Adjustable tension and resistance is an important feature for improving strength and stamina for all fitness levels Each Vive exerciser is designed with adjustable tension so that you can continue to challenge yourself during workouts and you become stronger. The Rowing Machine has 10 different levels of resistance and there are 8 on the Recumbent Stationary Bike. The X-bike does not have designated levels but it’s adjustable knob increases the resistance as you turn it.

• Magnetic Resistance

  Both the X-Bike and Recumbent Bike pedalling mechanisms use magnetic resistance which allows for smooth and progressive resistance. It’s also very quiet and makes minimal noise when pedaling that won’t bother you or anyone else who may be nearby.

Fly-wheel weight allows for controlled movement that’s smooth and not jerky. It helps to provide more power at a steady rate as you pedal or row. Combining fly-wheel weight with resistance helps to generate more momentum while you workout.

You’ll want to make sure that the cardio equipment you choose will adjust for comfortability and safe use according to your body composition.

The seat and backrest on the Vive X-BIke are height adjustable to fit heights ranging between 5’2” to 6’2”. The foot pedals also come with adjustable straps for a secure fit so your feet won’t slip out.

Our Recumbent Bike has an adjustable seat that fits most adults 5’2” and foot loops for personalized fit.

Due to the nature of Rowing Machines, ours does not have an adjustable seat, but it is designed with a 39” slide rail that accommodates the widest variety of heights.

Each Vive stationary cardio machine comes equipped with padded handlebars that allow for a comfortable and secure grip that won’t slip. This improves performance, balance, and safety while using the machine.
