recumbent exercise bike training image
Q. I want to purchase an exercise bike but I found there are so many types such as stationary bikes, recumbent bikes, cardio bikes and etc. What's the differences?
Answer
If your want to slim down by burning extra fats during exercises, you should choose stationary exercise bikes. There are three styles of stationary exercise bikes that include upright, semi-recumbent, and recumbent which are available on different prices. You can ride these bikes while listening to music, reading your favorite book or watching TV.
If you want to increase stamina and also strengthen the muscles in legs, arms and improve the overall functions of heart, the recumbent bike is what you need. This type of exercise bike is designed in ergonomic way, which increases the pedaling efficiency as well as comfort for extended riding. So you can sit in a chair-shaped seat and do pedaling on the pedals out in front. This is special good for those who suffering from lower back pain and joint pain to ride.
The cardio bike works on the cardiovascular system of the body. You can do both easy and hard training on it just with the flick of a wrist. Ride this type of exercise bike can strengthen the muscles of legs; improve the core stability and increase blood flow.

What is the difference between a spinner bike and an exercise bike?
Teresa
I have been researching the spinner bike and it burns tons of calories. The bikes looks just like a regular exercise bike. Have anyone experience riding the spinner bike, is there a difference?
Answer
Hi Teresa! I'm familiar with spinner bikes. Normal users don't seem to care for them. The reason is motivation. A spinner bike is used best at a spinning class (say at the YMCA/YWCA where the teacher/class provide motivation) or purchased by "road warrior" cycling enthusiasts who are highly self motivated to supplement outdoor training when they can't "hit the road". In any event, without cycling or spinning training, a spinner bike should not be considered. With a spinner bike there's shifting involved and normally no programs or electronics to guide the user through a workout. In otherwords, it isn't the spinner bike that burns more calories, but the motivation to push oneself. Also, the average person can't handle the strenuous spinner bike workouts, so paying substantially more for a spinner bike, rather than a normal exercise bike (recumbent or upright) would be a waste of money. In the end, spinning without proper training could actually have a negative impact on a person's outlook, causing them to loose interest in exercising altogether...
You'll get a great cardio workout with either a recumbent or upright exercise bike. Quality exercise bikes will run $500 - $2,000 or more. Stay away from the low end bikes and look for one with a good warranty of 10 years or more. I'd suggest Endurance exercise bikes because they have Lifetime warranties. I hope that helps... Happy exercise bike hunting!
