What are the benefits of using an exercise bike for fitness?

Nowadays, many people like to exercise. Some people get up early in the morning to exercise, some people make appointments with friends to play ball after get off work, and some even go hiking in the nearby mountains every morning. Not many now there are exercise bikes. The editor knows that he has little knowledge and has never heard of the term "exercise bike". So what is it all about using an exercise bike to work out? Let’s take a look together.

In the field of sports science, exercise bikes are called "power bikes". They are divided into upright and recumbent (also called horizontal) exercise bikes. They can adjust the intensity (power) during exercise to achieve the effect of fitness, so people call them exercise bikes. Aerobic fitness equipment that is typical of simulating outdoor sports is also called cardiopulmonary training equipment. It mainly promotes cardiovascular exercise, speeds up metabolism, enhances heart and lung function, and thus improves the body's physical fitness by exercising the body for a long time and with appropriate intensity.

1. Magnetic exercise bike

It means that there is a magnet close to the outer (or inner) periphery of the metal flywheel that generates resistance. By manually turning the knob and pulling the wire, the distance between the magnet and the metal flywheel is adjusted to adjust the resistance to achieve different exercise intensities. Currently, this type of fitness bike is the main force of entry-level home fitness bikes.

2. Electromagnetic Controlled Fitness Bike

The principle is similar to that of a magnetically controlled exercise bike, except that the original manual knob adjustment is replaced by a cable motor that controls the distance resistance between the magnet and the flywheel to adjust the resistance. Because of the appearance of the motor and the computer program, the resistance adjustment segments of the electromagnetically controlled exercise bike can be more subtle, and the set program allows the resistance size to be automatically changed during exercise, forming a program that simulates natural environments such as mountain climbing, mountainous, and interval riding. Suitable for higher-level users. Currently, this type of exercise bike is commonly used equipment in high-end homes and small fitness clubs.

The exercise bike can display time, speed, distance, calories, heart rate on the display panel of the exercise bike, and you can also choose some built-in riding programs. For example, there are weight loss programs, fitness programs, and mountain programs. Different programs can achieve different fitness effects.

The above is a series of explanations about exercise bikes. However, the editor here reminds everyone that when you first ride a speed bike, don’t go too fast or for too long. Wait until your body adapts before speeding up and increasing the time. Also, when riding for a long time, you should pay attention to changing your riding posture so that the center of gravity of your body moves to prevent prolonged pressure on a certain point in the perineum.
