  • Get in a great home workout with a spin bike

    If you want a great workout without leaving the house, a spin bike is the perfect piece of exercise equipment. Spin bikes are easy to set up, compact enough to store in a corner of the room, and many models have great features that let you work out with online trainers or share your work out with friends.

    What is a spin bike?

    A spin bike is an exercise bike that’s a lot like a road bike. It can simulate the experience of riding hills and flat roads with a turn of the bike’s intensity dial. Unlike a traditional exercise bike that has a seat, handlebars, and no wheels, a spin bike has a flywheel in the back and pedals that are bolted to the bike. Because the pedals are bolted to the bike, you may need to purchase spin bike shoes so you can clip in for your workout.

    Spin bike vs traditional exercise bicycle

    Depending on the model of spin bike you choose, you’ll have access to many different features you won’t find on a traditional exercise bike. Traditional exercise bikes have a standard handlebar and seat position that resembles a cruiser bike, so you can’t switch your hand and arm position for increased comfort and your seat will only move up and down.

    With a spin bike you can switch your hand and arm position in the same way you would on a road bike, and both the seat and the handlebars are micro-adjustable so you can move them up and down or forward and backward for increased comfort.

    Unlike a traditional exercise bike that only monitors your progress right on the bike, the best spin bike will have Bluetooth on board so you can connect to different apps and track your data on your phone or tablet. Some models of spin bike have LED, LCD, or touchscreen displays so you can tap to see your stats. You can also find models with onboard heart rate monitoring so you can monitor your heart rate right on the bike.

    Benefits of having a spin bike

    Having a spin bike at home has a lot of different benefits. The best spin bike is compact, so it’s easy to store in the corner for quick workouts. Because you have a spin bike indoor, weather won’t stop you from working out.

    If you choose a spin bike with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, you’ll find it easy to stay motivated because it can connect you to an exercise community online. You can take spin bike classes with a fitness trainer or use your favourite workout app with most spin bikes, all without leaving home. They will also connect to your smart watch for easy tracking of everything from your cadence to your heart rate.
