Buy an exercise bike that suits your fitness goals

An exercise bike is the best-known fitness machine on the market. We have exercise bikes for dedicated athletes who want to improve their endurance, as well as electric pedal exercisers to loosen up your muscles and movements.

Is an exercise bike right for me?

An exercise bike is suitable for everyone. In the past, it was mainly associated with an older audience because of rehabilitation purposes, for which it is still more than suitable today. An exercise bike is the only cardio machine with zero impact on the joints.

Do you have discomfort that you want to loosen up, have you had an operation, or do you simply want to get moving and enjoy cycling? In all three cases, an exercise bike can be a good choice. Losing weight with an exercise bike is therefore very suitable if other cardio exercises cause discomfort in your joints.

Strength athletes are also using exercise bikes more and more because of the ‘zero-impact’. This allows them to complete their cardio training without fear of muscle loss.

Multiple functions

Today, younger age groups are also finding their way to the exercise bike. With often very extensive displays connected to apps, these machines can appeal particularly well to younger users. Want to use programmes and/or save your workouts in an app? Then an exercise bike can also be right for you.

Which muscles do you train with an exercise bike?

An exercise bike trains all leg muscles: the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves and glute muscles. Training your legs improves your overall fitness and reduces the risk of injuries to the ankles and knees.

To train your legs at different levels, you can do an intensive workout or an effective workout that builds more fitness.

Different exercise bikes

There are, of course, many differences between the various types of exercise bikes.

There are manual exercise bikes. This type does not need a power supply and works with a manual brake. There are no programmes, so you literally cycle at your own pace. An ideal entry-level option and a suitable exercise bike for home.

Next are computer-controlled exercise bikes. On the one hand, there are EMS exercise bikes. These work with an electromagnet and different resistance levels. These exercise bikes also have a magnetic braking system.

On the other hand, there are ergometers. These are often used for rehabilitation because they can express resistance in wattage. Ideal for a physiotherapist, physio practice or someone who wants to use an exercise bike frequently while maintaining a smooth pedalling motion.

A heavier exercise bike can generally support people with a higher body weight. Professional exercise bikes are often heavier machines and can therefore quickly support more weight. The maximum user weight is stated in the product description, and it is useful to check this to see whether the heavier exercise bike is suitable for you.

Our range also includes recumbent bikes for home. If you are looking for a recumbent bike for your company, it is better to choose a professional recumbent bike.

If you like to stay active while working at home, a pedal exerciser may be the ideal solution. You can place a pedal exerciser under your desk and pedal with your feet while you work. This lets you burn calories and improve your fitness while working.

Why is it better to cycle on an exercise bike instead of on the road?

An exercise bike offers several advantages compared with cycling on the road.

1. Especially when looking at rehabilitation/older age and the loss of motor skills, cycling on an exercise bike in a home environment is many times safer. An exercise bike puts less strain on your joints than another fitness machine. That feeling of safety works directly with your self-confidence. When motor skills decline, cycling becomes more difficult, especially on the road, increasing the chance of giving up.
   
   
2. Many advanced exercise bikes, such as the Toorx BRX-3000, have a low step-through. This allows every patient to cycle without difficulty.
   
   
3. If several people are going to use your new exercise bike, it is also useful to have an adjustable saddle. Most exercise bikes are adjustable not only vertically but also horizontally.
   
   
4. Many exercise bikes offer a low starting level of resistance. This lets you start almost without resistance and build it up in small steps, making it suitable for beginners too. For medical cycling purposes, we always recommend an ergometer. These exercise bikes work with wattage. The resistance starts at twenty-five watts and can be adjusted in steps of five.
   
   
5. A heavier flywheel provides a smoother pedalling motion. In this respect, an exercise bike differs from a normal bicycle.
   
   
6. Many exercise bikes offer heart-rate-controlled programmes that automatically adjust resistance if you cannot maintain your target heart rate. Heart-rate-controlled training not only makes your training more efficient but also adds an element of reassurance for your own health. Heart rate is then measured with a chest-strap heart rate monitor.
