Exercise Bikes

Exercise bikes

An exercise bike is one of the most popular cardio machines. It is essentially a fitness bike designed to comfortably and efficiently improve your fitness levels. This allows you to easily achieve your cardio goals without actually having to go cycling outside. During a workout on an exercise bike, you not only work on your stamina, but also strengthen the muscles in your calves, thighs, glutes, back and abdomen. Most of the strain is placed on your thigh muscles, as your legs use the most power while pedalling. Personalise your workout by trying the different resistance levels and challenge yourself with a higher level. Also, don't forget to switch on your favourite TV programme so you can experience effort and relaxation at the same time.

What types of exercise bikes are there?

There are two main types of exercise bikes. These are upright bikes and recumbent bikes. The difference between these exercise bikes lies in the posture you adopt while cycling. An upright bike is the classic fitness bike you probably think of when you hear the word exercise bike. It is essentially a replica of a bicycle, with a saddle and handlebars that recreate a real cycling feel. You sit upright on this bike and also engage your upper body during training. On a recumbent bike, by contrast, your back is supported by a backrest. The backrest allows you to lean back more while exercising. This relieves pressure on the back, making it a particularly good cardio bike for people with back problems. 

Is there a difference between an ergometer and an exercise bike?

An ergometer and an exercise bike are similar, but there are differences. An ergometer is a more advanced version of an exercise bike that accurately measures effort by displaying wattage output, making it ideal for targeted training and rehabilitation. It offers more programmes and settings to customise your workout. An exercise bike is simpler and focuses primarily on basic stamina and general fitness. Exercise bikes often only measure basic data such as time, distance and speed, without exact wattage measurement.
