Holidays. They're great – a chance to relax, indulge and spoil yourself. And why not? You deserve it. However, when you get back from your break you might feel like you have overindulged slightly and put on a few pounds. It's easy to get back into bad habits of not enough exercise post holiday; but it's equally as easy to maintain that beach body you worked so hard for, and you can do so from the comfort of your own home with home gym equipment such as a cross trainer or exercise bike.

Exercise bikes come in a variety of designs to suit all price ranges. There are two basic styles of home exercise bike – upright and recumbent, referring to the position in which you sit. As well as being great for the legs and lower body, cycling is an excellent cardiovascular workout for the whole body – and a great calorie burner, too.

The Horizon Focus 308 is a good quality home exercise bike at a very affordable price. This is an upright bike and a good choice for those getting into home cycling.

Both handlebars and seat are fully adjustable for maximum comfort and to ensure you have the correct training position. It features 11 multi-level programmes and 20 different resistance settings. The Horizon Focus 308 exercise bike also has transportation wheels meaning it's easy to store out of the way when not in use.

Priory Sports have the Horizon Focus 308 on offer for just £349*, £150 off the list price. What's more you can also choose a free gift, either next day delivery or protective floor matting.

If you're looking for a more high-end exercise bike, the new Kettler ErgoRace exercise bike could be for you.

The Kettler ErgoRace was developed with cyclists and athletes in mind to help with their training. Described by experts as "The latest synthesis of outdoor racing bike and exercise bike" Kettler ErgoRace has a build in Siemens computer with a high resolution graphic display.

Designed to push users to their limits, this bike has a range of training aids including a heart rate monitoring belt (included with the bike) and a performance control system from 25 to 600 Watts (independent of revs) that  can be switched to revs-related operation up to 800 Watts.

In the Kettler ErgoRace the sturdy corrosion-resistant racing frame of tunnel tubing (coated inside and out) can be adapted individually by means of the adjustable saddle and the innovative horizontally and vertically adjustable handlebars.

The Kettler ErgoRace comes with a three year guarantee and free floor matting. It's available for £1,299*.

Priory Sports stock a wide selection of exercise bikes as well as other home gym equipment, including cross trainers, treadmills and rowing machines. Visit their online store to see the full range.
