Comparison of weight loss effects between treadmill and spinning bike

Due to work and weather reasons, many people do not like to exercise outdoors and generally choose indoor fitness equipment to exercise. In addition to yoga, treadmills and spinning bikes are the most popular indoor exercises. So when choosing between treadmills and spinning bikes, which one is more effective for weight loss?

Spinning bike weight loss effect

Spinning bike is a fitness sport that is popular all over the world. It combines music and visual effects. It can make people feel excited and happy during the exercise, so it is very popular among people. Through exercises with different speeds and resistances, spinning bikes can effectively enhance muscle endurance and cardiopulmonary function while having fun. While exercising endurance, they can also burn a lot of fat to achieve the goal of losing weight.

Spinning cycling is an aerobic exercise. After 30 minutes of exercise, the body begins to consume fat for energy. One class (about 45 to 60 minutes) will consume about 500 calories, which is equivalent to a one and a half hour long-distance run. It can be seen that spinning bike is indeed effective in reducing weight.

Treadmill weight loss effect

Treadmill exercise, like other aerobic exercises, requires energy through burning fat. It can help lose weight and enhance the energy supply of the heart and lungs. The effect of treadmill running on weight loss varies depending on the intensity of the exercise. When the exercise intensity is maintained at about 75% of the maximum exercise intensity, the treadmill is an absolute fat-burning powerhouse. At medium to high intensity, running on a treadmill for one hour can consume 850 calories. At this time, its fat-burning ability is far superior to that of a spinning bike. However, during low-intensity exercise, treadmill running only consumes 550 calories per hour. At this time, its fat burning effect is not as good as that of spinning bike.

Which is better for weight loss: a spinning bike or a treadmill?

In terms of fat burning effect, at the same intensity, the treadmill's fat burning effect is slightly better than that of the spinning bike. But this does not mean that everyone should choose a treadmill to lose weight. Each type of exercise has its advantages and disadvantages. You cannot choose a weight loss exercise based solely on how many calories it burns. Spinning bike is easy, vigorous and easy to stick to. It fully exercises the legs and can shape perfect leg lines. But if you don't do it correctly on a spinning bike, you could injure your knees or ankles. The treadmill is equipped with shock absorbers. When the running speed is not very fast, jogging and brisk walking are both very suitable methods of weight loss on the treadmill. However, it is easy for people's running rhythm to not keep up with the rhythm of the treadmill, resulting in varying degrees of knee injuries.

In fact, no matter what kind of exercise it is, the most effective thing is the exercise itself. Whether it is a treadmill or an exercise bike, there is no difference in the weight loss effect. The most important thing is to persist. Losing weight not only requires exercise, but also requires eating light food and not staying up late. As long as you stick to it, you will lose weight.
