Exercise Bikes

An exercise bike is one of the most popular cardio machines. It is, as it were, a fitness bike designed to improve your fitness comfortably and efficiently. This way, you can easily achieve your cardio goals without actually having to cycle outdoors. During a workout on an exercise bike, you not only work on your fitness but also strengthen the muscles in your calves, thighs, glutes, back, and abdomen. Most of the strain occurs in your thigh muscles because your legs use the most force while pedalling. Personalise your training by trying the different resistance levels and challenge yourself with a higher level. Also, don't forget to put on your favourite TV programme, so you can experience the combination of effort and relaxation simultaneously.

What types of exercise bikes are there?

There are two overarching 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'. This is essentially an imitation of a bicycle, with a saddle and handlebars that mimic the real cycling feeling. You sit upright on this bike and also need to engage your upper body during training. With a recumbent bike, on the other hand, the back is supported by a backrest. The backrest allows you to lean back more during training. This relieves the back and makes 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 and accurately measures effort by displaying wattages, which is ideal for targeted training and rehabilitation. It offers more programmes and settings to customise the training. An exercise bike is simpler and primarily focuses on basic fitness and general conditioning. The exercise bike often only measures basic data such as time, distance, and speed, without exact wattage measurement.
