Most people don't have free time for outdoor activities or morning jogging. Office work, constant traffic jams contribute to poor health, weight gain. The easiest way out is to buy an exercise bike. An exercise bike installed at your home will allow you to lose weight, improve heart function and tone muscles in just 15-20 minutes a day. In order to choose the right machine, you must know the following characteristics.
Instructions
Step 1
There are two types of seat attachment: horizontal and vertical. Recumbent exercise bikes are suitable for those people who have back problems and a large load on the spine is undesirable. Upright stationary bikes are mainly selected for fitness.
Step 2
The braking system can be mechanical, magnetic or electromagnetic.
Mechanical exercise bikes are considered the most affordable, but at the same time they have the least durability, make more noise and have the least number of functions. The principle of operation of such simulators is to change the tension of the belt, which is located inside the exercise bike.
The magnetic system is the most modern and high quality. The simulator has a built-in load regulator that changes the distance between the magnet and the flywheel. These exercise bikes are optimal for the home because they are mid-priced, have improved designs, and have a computer that has a ton of features.
Electromagnetic exercise bikes are equipped with a computer that independently adjusts the load, in accordance with the program you have chosen.
Step 3
Also, the presence of a built-in computer is considered a rather important point. The simplest computer should display time, speed, distance and calorie consumption. More sophisticated computers can display heart rate information. This feature is very important as it allows you to control the load on the exercise bike.
