What is the difference between exercise bikes and spin bikes?

An exercise bike is low-intensity aerobic fitness equipment. Compared to a spin bike that can play many different styles, an exercise bike, like its name, is more suitable for fitness rather than training.

On the one hand, it is because the activity intensity of exercise bikes is limited. This is based on the design concept of exercise bikes, which are ordinary bicycles. Ordinary cycling naturally does not require intense exercise, while spin bikes are different. They are designed based on the prototype of mountain bikes, which not only have a good shock absorption system. At the same time, more armrest positions and more convenient resistance adjustments are also designed to simulate real mountain cycling.

If you want to exercise and reduce fat, a rich spin bike course will consume several times more calories than a long exercise bike. However, the high intensity of a spin bike is not suitable for every group of people. Firstly, it is not suitable for those who are too old or too young, and secondly, it is not suitable for those with insufficient cardiovascular function, especially for urban white-collar workers or sports professionals who do not exercise much.

Compared to spin bikes, exercise bikes are more inclined towards leisure activities, suitable for a person to listen to music or watch TV while exercising. Spin bikes, as their name suggests, require the help of the atmosphere. Meanwhile, compared to exercise bikes suitable for all ages, spin bikes are more suitable for people aged 15-35.

Finally, spin bikes are not suitable for frequent use and require at least a break, otherwise there is not enough time to relax and it is very easy to hurt your knees.
