Exercising in the summer time can be killer. You want to be outside, but that summer heat is exhausting. Running outside results in normally not going as far, it is hard to stay hydrated, and there is the possibility of heat stroke. More and more physicians today believe the best work outs start on bicycles, but you run into the same problems as before (no pun intended). That’s what makes these pedal boats so perfect.
It is a great feeling as you bike on your local pond, lake or sea. As you are pushing through the water, there is a small mist that feels heavenly on those sweltering days. Also, you can take a quick dip in the water so as you are moving even the slightest breeze feels unbelievable. Then when you are finished, you are actually dry. Every time you are on a bike, now you’ll wish you were in the water.
When you work out on one of these state of the art water machines you’ll soon scoff at the idea of it being too hot to exercise. For any biker sitting in one of these pedal boats, it will feel like coming home. The design is similar to a recumbent bicycle with your feet out in front of you. The benefit to this style is that you are not fighting your own body weight as with normal bicycles. Also, the pedal boats work your entire lower body better than a normal bike (as seen in the image above). Because you steer these pedal boats with your back, there is a consistent core workout that is incorporated.
The pedal boats are a great supplement for other workout equipment. It is very similar to a stationary bike or roadster, but you are pushing and turning through the water rather than coasting on a road. And instead of watching TV while you workout, you can be amongst friends surrounded by nature. The average cost for a stationary bike is about $3000 while our bikes are a good 500 to 700 dollars less expensive. The choice is simple for exercise in the summer time, paddle boats are the clear choice.
