Your ankles, knees, hips, and other joints can be put under a lot of stress when running, jogging, jumping, or doing other high-impact aerobic exercises. Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes.
Interval training allows you to alternate short bursts of intense exercise with longer intervals of less intense exercise. This type of training can help you burn more calories in less time, and also elevate your cardio fitness.
Stationary bikes allow for varied resistance levels, so you can exercise at low, medium, or high intensities. This makes it ideal for an interval training workout. Cycling outdoors can be a great way to exercise, but it does come with certain hazards, such as inattentive drivers, uneven or slick road surfaces, and poor visibility. It might not even be safe to do so. You can work out safely at a comfortable temperature any time of the year.
Start with a to minute workout and progress from there, adding time in 1-minute increments as you build up your fitness. This type of workout helps to burn calories and body fat, and it can be a good option to include in a weight loss plan. There are generally three different types of stationary bikes: upright, recumbent, and dual-action. Each one offers slightly different benefits. Depending on your fitness level, joint health, and workout goals, you can focus on just one bike, or for more variety, you can try all of them at different times.
One of the most popular types of stationary bikes is the upright bike. The upright bike provides a great cardio workout while also strengthening your leg and core muscles. Depending on your preference, this bike can be used both standing or sitting. The downside of this bike is that the upright position can put pressure on your hands and wrists. The bike's resistance automatically adjusts based on the rider's output, meaning the harder you pedal, the more resistance you're challenged with and vice versa.
It also comes equipped with built-in programs along with a monitor that displays your mph, calories, time and watts. Adding that it's important to get fresh air and take in nature once you've "had enough indoor training. Balance is critical," he said. It's when you introduce screens, monitors and trackers — as well as features allowing for social connectedness — that prices climb significantly. The NordicTrack stationary bike includes a one-year membership to its iFit service, an interactive personal training program.
Its inch HD touchscreen allow for degree rotation and streams iFit content directly. It also shows up with two three-pound dumbbells for cross training exercises and its seat and handlebars are fully adjustable.
The latest EX5S Bike model comes with a It's equipped with adjustable handlebars and has been outfitted with a new motor for more precise resistance levels. If incline and decline cycling are important to you, note the Echelon won't let you adjust either.
The Keiser allows you to adjust its handlebars and the seat to accommodate your specific preference and the pre-tensioned resistance belt is designed to stay durable.
It's also Bluetooth-enabled so you can stream directly from it or connect your smart devices to it. As you're setting the bike up yourself, note that it might be difficult to assemble. It doesn't offer a screen but you can use the tablet holder to follow virtual classes with your own smart device.
The new Bowflex VeloCore, which you can also grab with a inch console, allow for both a leaning mode by which is what it sounds like: You can lean to the side while exercising to better simulate real-world bike riding or dancing.
You can also set the bike to stationary mode, keeping you straightforward throughout. Aside from tapping into various workout plans and classes, from virtual coaching to trainer-led rides, you can also use the display to access apps for streaming media, from Netflix to Hulu.
The bike is also designed to keep track of various metrics, including intervals, calories burned, cadence, heart rate and more. The more affordable C6 Bike from Bowflex comes equipped with a screen — or a backlit LCD for tracking metrics — magnetic resistance that allows you up to levels of resistance with miniscule differences between each one, but still notable and pedals built with toe cages.
These models are usually pricier than their non-connected counterparts and may require a monthly subscription fee to access the workout videos. With a higher-end [bike], you should have the ability to move the handlebars fore and aft and up and down, and the ability to move the seat fore and aft and up and down.
Another thing that can impact the price of the bike is the kind of resistance it uses. Strap and friction-based resistances may make the bike less expensive, and bikes that use magnetic resistance will probably be more expensive. A less expensive bike could have a similar frame and build quality, but without the tablet and smart features. High-end brands such as Peloton , NordicTrack , and Bowflex offer financing plans with no interest if you complete the payments within the required time frame usually between 12 to 39 months.
Some companies, such as Echelon , build interest charges into the payments, making your total cost higher than if you paid up front though not necessarily higher than if you bought a bike from another brand with a no-interest plan. An expensive bike should have a good warranty, or a written guarantee from the manufacturer to the consumer that they will repair or replace an item if it breaks down within a certain timeframe.
But what makes a warranty good? Like treadmills , bike warranties are usually divided by frame, parts, electronics, and labor. The warranty on the frame should be the longest—some brands, including Diamondback and Sole , offer lifetime warranties on the frame for some models; the cheaper Sunny bike offers a 3-year frame warranty—and the warranty on the parts, electronics, and labor should be between 1 and 5 years.
Each model and brand differs slightly, so before you buy a bike, take a look at the warranty to see what exactly it covers and for how long.
You may also want to see if the brand offers an extended protection program, in which you pay an extra fee to get complimentary repairs and replacements once the allotted time for the warranty has passed. These smart bikes, which include Peloton, NordicTrack , Echelon , and Bowflex , may cost more upfront and often require a monthly subscription payment to access the guided classes.
Some smart bikes include a year-or-so long subscription to its workout program as part of its initial cost. Connected bikes can give you a little bit more motivation, mainly because they help you see your progress over time. If you know you need extra motivation, a connected electric bike could be the right call.
Stationary bikes are also not one-size-fits all. As such, the one you buy needs to have adjustable features. Ideally, you should be able to move the seat and handlebars up, down, fore, and aft to reach an accurate fit. The exact positioning of the bike depends on the type you get and the exact instructions that go along with it. But in general, upright and indoor cycling bikes should be set so that, when you sit on it, your spine is straight, your knee is slightly bent when you extend your feet, and your forearms are at a degree angle when holding the handlebars.
Usually, you can achieve this by setting the saddle at your standing hip height and the handlebars about the length of your elbow to your fist in distance from your body.
