which recumbent bike to buy

xraychick84

I am looking to purchase a budget friendly recumbent bike to aid in my fitness routine. I am trying to decide between the Exerpeutic 1000 high capacity or the Marcy ME 709 recumebent. Both bikes are available through walmart.com and are definitely budget friendly, $149.00 and $139.00. Both have great reviews on walmart.com but I have been able to find more information about the Marcy ME 709. I am not expecting these to preform like precor gym equipment that costs thousands of dollars, I want a bike that is easy on the wallet but one that will satisfy my workout needs. If anyone has any feedback about either of these 2 bikes I would appreciate it greatly!
