Recumbent Exercise Bicycles

Recumbent bike good jogging exercise?

I hate jogging... and it's hot in the middle of the summer. So I wanted to see if I could use the recumbent bike that my mom just bought to train jogging as effectively as just jogging? (I'm going into cross country at the end of this summer.) The bike is a really nice one that comes with the built in programs like wind sprints.

1. well even though you hate running, your still going to have to. I thought that was the whole point of cross country. You have to run. It gives you a good exercise. You have to be willing to do anything to be able to accomplish something else. Hope i helped!! : ]
2. Biking can be a good recovery day, but it will not substitute for running. You must run to train for running.
