How to choose an exercise bike

Are you looking for a serious supplier that sells reliable and quality exercise bikes?

Fitmax offers a wide range of models and brands, but before choosing your exercise bike, read some tips to find the one that best suits you based on features, brands and prices.

First of all, you need to take into account the resistance , which can be mechanical, magnetic or electromagnetic, depending on the type of bike. Those with electromagnetic resistance (known as ergometers ) are equipped with an induction brake that ensures smooth and silent movement.

Heart rate monitoring is one of the most requested features, as through a heart rate monitor it is possible to monitor the heartbeat without interrupting the workout.

Programs are another fundamental aspect, as they allow you to choose the type of training and pedaling resistance based on your goals.

Finally, it is also necessary to take into account the ergonomics and comfort of the exercise bike saddle. The latter can be adjusted according to different physiognomies, just as the handlebars can have a different inclination to make your physical activity more comfortable.

Traditional exercise bikes

The best known are the traditional exercise bikes , suitable for any type of need and with a flywheel mass between 4 and 12 kg;

recumbent exercise bike

Less known to the less experienced are the recumbent (or recumbent) exercise bikes , built horizontally. The latter are recommended for people with lumbar problems or who need to do rehabilitation, because the adjustable saddle is equipped with a backrest and the pedals placed in front of the user allow return circulation.

Spin bike

Then there are spin bikes , or exercise bikes that perfectly simulate the pedaling of a road bike, significantly intensifying the effort. The flywheel mass is between 10 and 25 kg.
