LiveStrong LS9.9IC Exercise Bike Review
LiveStrong is the name of the foundation formed by Lance Armstrong the famous cyclist who achieved extraordinary athletic accomplishments before and after surviving a deadly cancer diagnosis. LiveStrong Fitness is a way of providing quality fitness equipment which echoes the LiveStrong ethos of improving your health and lifestyle. With every purchase a donation is made to the LiveStrong Foundation to help people fight cancer.
The LS9.9IC is the only indoor cycle by LiveStrong and being connected to Lance Armstrong is probably their most important piece of equipment. It’s in the style of a spin bike and is designed to give you maximum benefit for the exercise you do. “Spinning” to music or with the included DVD is a fantastic way to achieve fitness or weight loss in a very short amount of time, it’s a very effective workout.
The seat is air filled and comfortable, it has height and horizontal adjustment so you can set the perfect amount of space between the seat and the handlebars. This is adjusted pulling the knob and moving the seat to the position you want and letting go of the knob and the seat snaps securely into place. This is the same with the height adjustment of the handlebars.
The handlebars are large and allow you to stand upright or lean forward with the many hand positions available. Easily accessible is the bottle holder for some refreshment as you ride. The flywheel is 40 lbs and the braking system and belt are made using kevlar and are built to last. The resistance is easily controlled and allows a gentle ride for beginners to a challenging uphill climb if wanted.
The brake means a safe controlled quick slow down as required. For some workout suggestions and help with form there’s a workout DVD that will show you the way. It also contains 54 workouts that will help people of all fitness levels get a good workout. The console gives you details of speed, calories and heart rate using the built in pulse sensors. Overall the LiveStrong LS9.9IC exercise bike has the potential to provide rewarding workouts for years to come.
