How to choose and use a home exercise bike?
To fully estimate the current situation, we must first know our current situation, such as what kind of fitness equipment we have now; Whether these devices can meet the needs, whether they are worn out, whether they are still safe, etc. If the existing fitness equipment can't meet the demand, what kind of equipment do you want to buy? Is it elementary, advanced or both?

So how do you choose an exercise bike? Let's start with the types of exercise bikes:

1, brake pad friction type: adjust the riding strength by adjusting the tightness of the brake pad and the rotating flywheel.

2. Manual magnetic control resistance control type: By manually adjusting the resistance knob and pulling the distance between the magnetic control group and the rotating flywheel with a steel cable, the riding strength can be adjusted; The closer the magnetic control group is to the rotating flywheel, the greater the resistance; On the contrary, the farther the distance, the smaller the resistance; The resistance level is generally divided into eight grades.

3. Electromagnetic resistance control (external power supply): turn on the power supply, and control the motor through the electronic watch. The motor controls the distance between the magnetic control group and the rotating flywheel to adjust the riding strength; The closer the magnetic control group is to the rotating flywheel, the greater the resistance; On the contrary, the farther the distance, the smaller the resistance; The resistance level is generally divided into 14~~25 levels; It is appropriate to choose the best sports difficulty level.

4. Electromagnet resistance control (self-power generation): There is a self-power generation system in the exercise bike, which generates voltage through riding movement and uses the voltage to change the current of the electromagnet to control the resistance; The resistance level is generally divided into 14~~25 grades.

Matters needing attention in purchasing several main parts of exercise bike:

1. There are pattern training programs and heart rate control programs in the electronic watch; The electronic watch should be able to provide parameters such as time, distance, speed, speed, calories, heart rate (EKG and heart rate band), wattage, heart rate recovery rate and so on. Window display can be divided into three display modes: LCD/ LCD, LED/ LED and TFT/ LCD.

2. The resistance modes are divided into four modes: brake pad friction type, manual magnetoresistance type, electromagnetic magnetoresistance type (external power supply) and electromagnetic magnetoresistance type (self-generating).

3. The resistance system should pay attention to the diameter and weight of the flywheel, the design stability of the idler and the smoothness of the belt; The stability design of large flywheel will bring excellent sense of movement and comfort.

4. UFIT technology lies in the ergonomic design and excellent sports comfort; For example, the seat of a car includes height and fore-and-aft adjustment; Handrails include angle adjustment.

5. Pedal assembly includes bearing, crank and pedal. Pay attention to the grade of bearing and the service life of crank and pedal when purchasing; High-grade materials will lead athletes to use machines with good performance for a long time, so they can look back carefree.

Exercise methods and matters needing attention in using exercise bike:

(a) before exercise, we should make preparations, especially to fully exercise the upper and lower limbs. It is necessary to relax after exercise.

(2) Avoid exercising when you are full or on an empty stomach, and generally exercise within 2 to 4 hours after meals. Smoking and drinking are prohibited within 2 hours before exercise.

(3) Adjust the height of the seat and armrest to prevent body abrasion or subcutaneous tissue damage when contacting with the instrument.

(4) When using a fitness bike, if you have no experience, you should first practice to adapt to the exercise of equipment.

(5) The correct posture, rhythmic movements and proper exertion should be mastered when exercising with equipment, otherwise it will have adverse effects on muscles, bones and nerves.
