Fitness Tips

We have spent the last few articles talking about spin bikes so let’s talk about the other bikes we carry too, such as the upright bike and recumbent bike. 

No matter the weather condition, indoor spinning can go on which makes it a really popular option when it comes to selecting only one home gym equipment. It also helps that it takes up very little space in your home and is easy on the knees. Of course, nothing compares to the feel of the smooth road or bumpy gravel under your tires when you’re cycling outdoors. However, it is a smart way to train because indoor cycling will always be a constant and available option, allowing you to track your intensity with metrics such as Watt and RPMs. You can really strengthen your overall fitness level and muscle fibres, which will definitely translate to a higher success rate when you get a chance to head outdoors.

Choosing the right spin bike may sometimes give you a headache, especially when you have so many models to choose from and you simply have no idea where to start. Ask yourself these simple questions and you might just get your answer!
