Among exercise tools, exercise bikes and spinning bikes are very beneficial tools. Of course, exercise bikes and spinning bikes are also beneficial to people, but many people don’t know the difference between exercise bikes and spinning bikes. In fact, the main difference is their appearance. There are three differences: differences, structural differences, and suitable groups of people. So, what is the difference between an exercise bike and a spinning bike? Let’s find out together.
Similarities
The first is the appearance structure of spinning bicycles and exercise bikes. Both have handles, flywheels, mounts, and pedals. At the same time, the exercise principles and fitness effects of the two are also similar. Through the consumption of body heat through cycling, the effect of fat loss and fitness is achieved.
Differences in appearance
To give an analogy, an exercise bike is like an ordinary bicycle, while a spinning bike is more like a mountain bike. The more obvious point is that the seat position of the spinning bicycle is relatively high, and the body of the person sitting on it is leaning forward.
Structural differences
1. The first obvious difference is the position of the flywheel. Most of the flywheels on spinning bikes are front-mounted, while exercise bikes have front-mounted and rear-mounted flywheels. The flywheel adopts a wrapped design.
2. The resistance adjustment methods of dynamic bicycles and exercise bikes are different. Dynamic bicycles mostly use brake blocks to adjust the resistance, while exercise bikes mostly use magnetic control to adjust the resistance.
3. The riding methods of spinning bicycles and exercise bikes are different. On a spinning bike, you can ride standing or sitting. According to the difference between horizontal exercise bikes and vertical exercise bikes, exercise bikes can be divided into two states of exercise: lying down and sitting.
Suitable people
From the above structural differences between spinning bikes and exercise bikes, it can be clearly seen that the exercise intensity of spinning bikes is stronger than that of fitness bikes. Therefore, spinning bikes are often more popular among young people. Elderly people need to be cautious when choosing spinning bikes. Exercise bikes are suitable for exercisers of all ages.
