Common Questions
What muscle does an exercise bike work?
Some bikes have lightweight dumbbells for building your upper body; most bikes primarily target your hamstrings, calves, quadriceps, and glutes. When exercising with an upright bike, you will engage your core and back muscles, toning your posture. Standing while cycling the bike could also add more training to your glute and calves.
What type of tension do I apply?
The spin bike flywheel uses a magnetic resistance found in the training equipment of elliptical trainers. The tension on the wheels can be adjusted electronically by a touch of the button on the console. The touch will move the magnet further or closer to the flywheel, thus providing the resistance suitable for your joints. The magnetic flywheel is what most modern bikes have, offering smooth performance and are considered maintenance-free.
What is the appropriate saddle height?
When cycling while seated on the saddle or seat, your knees should be slightly bent with the legs placed on the bottom of the pedal. This way, you can adjust the saddle to fit your height.
Should I use a chain or belt drive bike?
These two bikes have both pros and cons to take into consideration before deciding. A chain-driven bike is durable, but it isn't quiet. Additionally, it can allow you to pedal forward or backward. On the other hand, the belt drive system has a free-spinning flywheel, meaning the flywheel will independently continue spinning even if you stop pedaling. The more you use the bike, the belt will finally wear out, thus needing replacement.
What is the difference between a spin and an upright bike?
Upright bikes are free-spinning magnetic flywheels with features, such as a console, a wider and comfortable seat, and a program. The bike's pedal stops to move when you don't pedal. However, a spin bike is made to resemble road bikes with smaller seats. The pedals and the drive systems are connected, enabling the flywheel and the pedals to continue revolving even when you stop pedaling. They are designed to train athletes or for high-intensity spin classes.
Between an exercise bike and a treadmill, which one is better?
These two pieces of equipment are fantastic for home aerobic exercise, proving high-intensity and effective workouts coupled with cardiovascular fitness. However, exercise bikes favor those with injuries and joint pain since the seated position while pedaling places reduced impact on knees, hips, and ankles. Running on a treadmill may be softer than outdoor running, but your joints and bones still absorb the impact every time your feet touch the ground.
