A Review of the ProForm 385 CSX Recumbent Bike

The ProForm 385 CSX recumbent bike is along the lower end of the price scale, with an average price of around $300. The bike is fairly simple and straightforward, yet offers numerous benefits to people seeking a quality recumbent bike. The design of the recumbent makes it more ergonomic that standard upright bikes, and the positioning makes it considerably more accessible for people who are overweight or who have joint or muscle problems. The bike is excellent as a physical therapy tool for strengthening joint muscles, and the workouts tone a number of muscles at once, providing many benefits for those seeking to lose weight as well.

Unlike an upright bike, the recumbent provides an excellent gluteal workout, helping to reduce or eliminate fatty deposits in the rear as well as the legs. This particular model is certainly in the price range of most no-frills bikes, yet it offers a number of features that users will enjoy. The ProForm 385 CSX offers an Mp3 port for listening to music as well as an EKG heart rate monitor for keeping up with the intensity and benefits of your workout. There are a total of eight workout programs offered by the machine, and there is an integrated coach that will help push users toward their goals.

In all, this economy bike is really a pretty solid model. The bucket seats make it considerable more comfortable than an upright and help enable longer workouts. The ergonomic design helps to burn fat by making workouts more effective. While the bikes are ideal for a large number of people, those seeking a realistic cycling experience will likely prefer a standard upright exercise bike. This is certainly a machine that lacks the bells and whistles on many high end bikes, but for the price it is a great bike and a solid value.

Part political disquisition part travel journal part self-exploration Seek is a collection of essays and articles in which Denis Johnson essentially takes on the world.And not an obliging easygoing world either; but rather one in which horror and beauty exist in such proximity that they might well be interchangeable. Where violence and poverty and moral transgression go unchecked even unnoticed. A world of such wild rocketing energy that grasping it anything at all is possible. Whether traveling through war-ravaged Liberia mingling with the crowds at a Christian Biker rally exploring his own authority issues through the lens of this nation’s militia groups or attempting to unearth his inner resources while mining for gold in the wilds of Alaska Johnson writes with a mixture of humility and humorous candor that is everywhere present. With the breathtaking and often haunting lyricism for which his work is renowned Johnson considers in these pieces our need for transcendence. And as readers of his previous work know Johnson’s path to consecration frequently requires a limning of the darkest abyss. If the path to knowledge lies in experience Seek is a fascinating record of Johnson’s profoundly moving pilgrimage.
