Vertical exercise bike is also called vertical bicycle and vertical exercise bike. Vertical exercise bike is one of the most important aerobic exercise equipment.
Vertical exercise bike mainly exercises hips, thighs and calves. Correct use of vertical exercise bike can make hips and legs shape, be more fit, increase oxygen capacity in blood and relax the spirit.
How to use the upright exercise bike
First, do warm-up exercises, leg press, twist your waist and move your arms.
Adjust the resistance of the exercise bike, hold the handle with both hands, step on the pedal hard, relax your shoulders, start riding slowly and step by step, ride quickly after 5 minutes, slow down for 65,438+05 minutes after fast riding, and then do relaxation exercises.
The specific exercise intensity depends on the individual's physique.
Matters needing attention in the use of vertical exercise bike
First, the saddle of a bicycle should not be too high, and the height and angle of the saddle should be adjusted before use. If the saddle is too high, the hips will inevitably shake left and right when riding, which will easily cause perineal abrasions; The front of the car seat is upturned, which is more likely to damage the perineum. Foam plastic can be used as a soft seat cover on the car seat to reduce the friction between the car seat and the genitals. It should be elastic to prevent the hips from twisting left and right when riding and reduce local friction.
Second, when riding a bike, sit up straight with your hips and keep your legs balanced to prevent one side from exerting too much force and forming a tumor.
Third, menstrual belts, sanitary napkins and shorts should be soft in texture, and it is best to ride less or not ride bicycles during menstruation.
Fourth, when riding for a long time, we should pay attention to changing the riding posture, so that the center of gravity of the body moves, and prevent a certain point of the perineum from focusing on it for a long time.
Fifth, when riding the gearbox for the first time, the speed should not be too fast and the time should not be too long, and then accelerate and overtime after the body adapts.
The difference between vertical exercise bike and horizontal exercise bike
Vertical exercise bike:
From the market point of view, the overall proportion of vertical exercise bikes is greater than that of horizontal exercise bikes. Looking at brands, only international brands like Ai Kang are qualified to develop horizontal exercise bikes, while most manufacturers only have vertical exercise bikes. Presumably, the reason is not difficult to understand, that is, the overall design of the vertical exercise bike is more economical.
The exercise bike mainly provides us with the needs of daily fitness riding. Let's talk about the specific difference between vertical exercise bike and horizontal exercise bike from the function. The upright exercise bike is not much different from our traditional bike. Stand upright, sit on the seat, move your legs in circles, hold the handlebars by hand, and make corresponding adjustments through the panel to achieve the purpose of fitness riding. Generally speaking, the upright exercise bike is a kind of fitness equipment with good performance and strong adaptability, which can be ridden by men, women and children, and the intensity can be increased or decreased at will. People who lose weight, friends who like sports or keep healthy, can achieve the corresponding fitness goals through upright exercise bikes.
Horizontal exercise bike:
From the appearance, it seems that there is only one backrest design, and the others seem to be exactly the same, but they are not. Let's take a look at the design concept of this backrest first. If friends who ride regularly will feel this way, their backs, shoulders and arms will feel sore due to long-term upright riding. Keeping the same posture for a long time will definitely lead to fatigue, which doesn't matter to normal people, but if the cyclist is middle-aged or elderly or unwell, the pain caused by riding for a long time will become a bit unbearable. In fact, this backrest is designed to provide good support for the rider's back and waist and reduce the pressure on the back and waist, which is especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people or people in rehabilitation. This is the most important function of the horizontal exercise bike.
Secondly, there is a great difference in training effect between vertical exercise bike and horizontal exercise bike. Friends who have ridden these two kinds of exercise bikes can easily find that the force of the upright exercise bike is basically in a straight line with the upper body and perpendicular to the ground. To put it bluntly, it is the feeling of stepping down, which is very comprehensive for leg muscle exercise. The horizontal exercise bike mainly relies on the backrest to push forward, and the training effect brought by this angle change is very different. The horizontal exercise bike is very good for shaping the back of thighs and buttocks. If you want to improve the lines of your legs and hips by riding, a horizontal exercise bike is your best choice.
The main differences between vertical and horizontal exercise bikes can be divided into two points.
First of all, the design of backrest can provide good support for the rider's back and waist to ensure its normal stress, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people or people recovering;
Second: For the shaping of leg muscles, the vertical exercise bike is a very comprehensive riding method, while the horizontal exercise bike is more excellent for shaping the lines on the back of thighs and buttocks.
