1. How to choose the style of exercise bike
There are many styles of indoor exercise bikes, some are light and cheap, and can be folded into a cabinet; some are exquisite and expensive, with computer devices attached. In addition, it can be divided into two types: stationary and swinging. Both are no different from ordinary bicycles, but they don’t have real wheels. Instead, they are replaced by flat bottoms. In addition, they are fixed, unlike ordinary bicycles that can walk. Therefore, it can support the strength when stepping hard.
Regardless of whether it is a fixed type or a rocking type, both devices will produce a kind of resistance, and the user must step on the harder and harder, just like a real bicycle climbing. The difference is that the rocking type allows you to accurately read how much effort you have spent, how much resistance you can manipulate, and the speed and distance in a certain period of time, while the fixed type cannot.
If you are interested in buying a good indoor exercise bike, or because of health problems, you need to buy an indoor exercise bike that can measure the force, then you'd better consider swinging. Its biggest feature is that it has a more accurate scale on it, which can adjust the amount of force applied. The front wheel also has a brake device, and the friction generated is expressed in numbers, so you can know how much force you exert. The advantage is that the resistance can be adjusted at any time according to the result of the force to suit your exercise volume. Generally speaking, the swinging noise is small and will not disturb the peace of neighbors.
2. Points to note when buying these fitness equipment
If you want to buy high-quality and inexpensive products, it is recommended that you choose strong and durable materials. Avoid buying plastic or rubber wheels, because an unsturdy car usually loses its watch and chain or even breaks after 45 kilometers. If the resistance of the car is not good, the pedal will suddenly detach when it is close to the highest or lowest point, which will hinder your movement process.
The resistance system is the key to the quality of an exercise bike, so when you buy a bike, you must pay attention to whether it can adjust various resistances, so that your pedaling exercises can become more and more vigorous and achieve the effect of weight loss. Don't buy products that only have two types of resistance: "difficult" and "easy".
Pay attention to whether the seat and handle of the car can be adjusted? Because the movable seat can be suitable for people of different heights.
The handles of some indoor exercise bikes are equipped with a shaking device to increase the amount of upper body exercise. It is recommended that you choose fitness equipment that only has a shaking device or a pedal device, rather than choosing a fitness equipment with both performances.
