Best Exercise Bike Introduction

by Chris on July 14, 2010

Hi I’m Chris. This is my Best Exercise Bike blog. I love cycling because it a great exercise or activity to do either alone, with friends or with family. But sometimes I like to cycle at home, and I use my best exercise bike.

Cycling at home is fun too – you can watch TV or ride to the beat of your favorite music; you can even read a magazine while cycling on an exercise bike. Cycling on an exercise bike is also the best way to get rid of excess fat in the calves, thighs and buttocks, a.k.a. fat legs!

I’ve tried out many models of exercise bikes. For those of you who don’t know what an exercise bike is, it is a stationary bicycle, a machine that lets you pedal on the spot. Usually they only exercise the lower body, but nowadays there are exercise bikes that incorporate the elliptical type of handles for working out the upper body as well.

An exercise bike is used for working out, or it could be used for warming up or training by cyclists. Exercise bikes let you adjust their resistance for a more strenuous workout by using magnets, fans or friction mechanisms.

I personally prefer magnetic resistance, which can be adjusted with just a push of a button, so that I can adjust the resistance anytime during workout. Exercise bikes with magnetic resistance is also quieter and they last longer than those using tension belts. Only the cheap models use tension belts and they wear out soon if you exercise regularly.

Exercise bikes generally have a display screen for you to check various information like calories burned, time, distance and so on. Some has a built in heart rate monitor as well.

Well, I will be reviewing the best exercise bikes so soon you can find the reviews in this blog. There will be guides and tips too. Stay tuned!
