Exercise Bikes

Do you want to know more about exercise bikes?

Static bicycles are anyway the most demanded because they have advantages such as:

- be the cheapest fitness machines

- take up little space, be light and easy to move

- no training is necessary since almost all of us know how to pedal

- allow to grade from zero the intensity of the effort

- be an exercise without impact with the floor reducing the risk of injury

- exercise to guard against inclement weather such as rain, snow, torrid heat, etc ...

Static bikes are recommended to maintain shape, strengthen the knees or recover from injuries. They are also ideal for people with knee problems or for elderly people, since they tend to have a low profile structure allowing elderly people or people in rehabilitation to access it in a very easy way. In addition, in most models the saddle is adjustable vertically and also horizontally.

To choose a stationary bike , the following criteria must be taken into account:

- Type of resistance: currently, most bicycles incorporate a magnetic resistance system that offers a fluid and silent movement. Depending on the model, the magnetic resistance can be controlled manually by a wheel located on the bicycle frame, usually under the console, or electronically from the LCD monitor in the case of bicycles with connection to the electrical network.

- Weight, dimensions and regulations: it is very important to choose the ideal bicycle taking into account our weight and the intensity and frequency with which we want to exercise, since stability on the bike is very important. If the handlebar is adjustable, if possible vertically and horizontally, we can find our ideal position.

- Heart Rate Control: most models incorporate sensors in the handlebar to control our heart rate. In some models of bicycle, the LCD monitor only shows us its reading, but in others it is also used by the programs that incorporate to increase or decrease the level of the exercise.

- Programs: As already indicated above, some static bicycles incorporate predefined programs that reproduce different types of training to achieve different objectives. In some programs the heart rate is used to increase or decrease the level of the exercise. These predefined exercises are advised for those who want to lose weight or increase aerobic endurance.
