Exercise Bicycles -- 5 Reasons They Won't Work
Exercise bicycles continue as one of the most popular exercise machines. Sadly, buying one is no sure road to fitness. It's use it or nothing happens. Time in the saddle and what you do as you pedal determines what you get. Here are 5 reasons most exercise bike purchases probably don't produce the best results.
Rock and Roll
Buying a cheap bike likely is the same as throwing away the purchase price. That's because the riding of a bike can tear part a machine that's light on design and construction. Rock and roll is literally what happens when you pedal away on a lightweight chap bike. Swaying too and from produces movement of the bike which makes you wonder where you yourself will end up. Can this thing actually throw you off and dump you in the floor?
Better bikes are built heavy to take hard workouts. Anything less produces irritation and all the swaying does not cry out for more effort. It calls out for getting off the thing before something bad happens.
Ouch Factor
Pain also stops exercise bike workouts. Pain waits at several places. Seat design makes or breaks comfort. Often what works for short workouts may not work at all for longer sessions. A cheap bike may look like a real exercise machine, but it's often in truth just a look-alike. Poor bikes mostly inflict pain, with little results to show for it.
Come Apart Beneath You
Another result of the rock and roll of poorly built bikes is the come-apart sequence. Movement of the bike itself starts a process whereby all connections begin to loosen and then the loosening leads to more movement. It's a process that requires maintenance, but it's really a losing battle. Lots of movement of the bike tears the machine apart and leads to a short life and frustration for the owner the whole time.
Dead Parts
Electronics are central to many exercise bikes. Failure of the key components often make the whole machine worthless. If you have a warranty on any of the machine, make sure the electronics parts are covered. That often means the magnetic drives as well as the simulation software are real potential trouble spots.
Boring
Pedaling away for long periods is enough to bore all but the most committed almost to tears. Boring rides stop many workout programs, but these are ways to fight back. That's one of the main reasons to choose electronics heavy machines. Both quiet drives and computer software team up to make for interesting rides as well as comfortable experiences. The other approach includes the dual action machines. Not heavy on electronics, these bikes use arms and legs to keep workouts more varied.
Buying the wrong exercise bicycles stops many a workout routine. Certainly you want a good deal when buying a machine, buy buying less machine than you need can mean a waster of every bit of money you spend. Get a machine that's well built and includes the features necessary for an interesting workout. That's the way to get the best value.
