    I just rode my recumbent bike this morning and consider this a stationery bike too. The first 10 minutes I wasn't getting my HR up much either. My bike goes to 10 in resistance but I used 8 because at 10 it slips some, (not a real expensive bike) but it is sturdy and comfortable. Then what I did was I got my 3# ankle weights and strapped 1 around each thigh, 3 on the R, 3 on the L and rode for 30 minutes at level 8 and kept my rpm's up to around 17 mph. I rode over 8 miles in a half hour and burned 265 calories wearing my HR monitor. I am 5'8" tall and currently weight 150 pounds which is my goal weight. Currently trying to maintain which I am finding harder than it was losing...
