SOLE Fitness releases a new guide exploring recumbent bikes for seniors with back pain, specifically highlighting the SOLE R92 model for its lumbar support and low step-through design.
-- SOLE Fitness has released ‘Elliptical vs. Bike for Seniors: Easiest on Joints for Elderly Fitness’ - addressing exercise options for seniors experiencing back pain. While comparing recumbent bikes with ellipticals, the guide notably points to the former for their ability to help users relieve lower back issues and improve endurance.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that adults over 65 engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise weekly - a goal achievable through equipment like recumbent bikes. SOLE Fitness also demonstrates how reclined seats can reduce spinal compression and alleviate discomfort, with one particular model offering such capabilities in abundance.
Its own SOLE R92 Recumbent Bike is mentioned for specific design elements engineered with senior safety and accessibility in mind. Adjustable seating with integrated lumbar support allows users to customize their positioning for optimal comfort, while easy-to-reach resistance controls enable seniors to modify their workout intensity without unnecessary disruption.
Built to accommodate a 300-pound weight capacity and equipped with a 20-pound flywheel, the R92 also delivers ongoing stability, says SOLE Fitness. The bike even incorporates a patented two-degree inward slope in its foot pedals - a design intended to promote proper posture and minimize aches and pains.
As a whole, the guide stresses that recumbent bikes distribute body weight evenly across a larger seat and backrest - reducing pressure on the lower back, knees, hips, and joints in the process. According to SOLE Fitness, then, these biomechanical advantages make recumbent equipment particularly suitable for older adults who can’t tolerate the upright posture needed with traditional bikes.
“SOLE stationary bikes feature a low step-over frame, often as low as 6-8 inches from the ground,” adds the guide. “This significantly reduces the risk of imbalance or falls when mounting or dismounting the bike - a primary concern for seniors with limited mobility or leg strength.”
By offering evidence-based insights alongside practical guidance, SOLE Fitness positions itself as a reliable resource with designs on helping seniors make confident fitness equipment selections. Its broader inventory features suitable recumbent bikes accordingly - alongside treadmills, ellipticals, barbells, and more.
