Spinning can be said to be a popular aerobic fitness equipment at present, and it is also a very popular exercise and fitness course in the gym, especially for white-collar workers. Because this kind of exercise can make people sweat and feel great interest at the same time. Here are eight tips for you to buy spinning bikes. Wish you a happy purchase. Thank you for reading.
First, judge how to choose spinning bike from the brand.
There are many spinning brands in the market, mainly including Xing Chi, Shiboya, Tunturi, Dontley, BHP Billiton BIACH, Wilson Tsui, Kanglejia, Zheng Lun and so on. There are many domestic manufacturers, but most of them only produce one or two; Foreign brands, such as Xing Chi. BH。 Shi Baoya. Tunturi, etc. , the price is relatively high, suitable for high-end family groups and commercial gyms. There are still many users who report that the spinning bikes produced in Taiwan Province Province are of good quality, but in fact some of them are produced by merchants or OEM; It is recommended to buy the products of domestic manufacturers specializing in spinning bicycles, which will be more easily guaranteed after sale. It is recommended to choose a brand with good reputation. If the budget allows, it is recommended to choose imported brands such as Xing Chi. Shi Baoya. In fact, the after-sales service of spinning has little to do with brand awareness, mainly depending on the merchants. When choosing a brand, it is recommended to choose a professional merchant, so that after-sales service is more secure.
Second, judge how to choose spinning bike from the function.
The functional level of spinning bike is basically the same, that is, riding on the car; From the structure of the car itself, it is very simple, and most of the functions are similar, but please pay attention to the following details when purchasing spinning bikes:
1. Many car handrails cannot be adjusted back and forth. This problem has little impact, because the seat can generally be adjusted back and forth, which makes up for this deficiency.
2. Some cars can't be returned, which is characterized by cheap models. High-end cars can generally be stepped back and forth, so be sure to pay attention when buying them.
3. The way to brake. Nowadays, good car designs are all push-down, which is convenient and safe. Some cars need to be pulled up, which is a detail that many people ignore.
Many users are afraid of loud noise when buying a car. Please note that chain-driven cars will inevitably have noise, and pulley-driven cars can solve this problem; High-end models all use pulleys.
Many users report that some models have electronic watches when they are bought. In fact, the rotating electronic watch is of little use, and it is recommended not to be the key to purchase. The car in the gym is not worthy of the watch.
6. The size of the flywheel, this is very important, because the feeling of spinning bike depends on this flywheel, and the small flywheel will feel a little light when stepping on it.
Third, judge how to choose spinning bike from the price.
First of all, according to personal economic situation and budget, high-end brands such as Xing Chi. Shibuya TUNTURI is expensive, and foreign brands work relatively well, but in fact, most brands are domestic OEM, so please confirm whether the machine is imported; Ordinary white-collar workers suggest choosing a spinning bike between 1000-3000 yuan, and you can buy a good spinning bike around 4000 yuan. Domestic spinning bike prices are relatively transparent, and you get what you pay for. If the models used in gyms or high-end people are used, it is recommended to choose high-end models imported from abroad or domestic brands, because of high utilization rate and more money, and peace of mind in the future.
Fourthly, judge how to choose spinning bike from the quality.
First of all, you should see whether the functional layout and color of the whole spinning bike are suitable for your personal preference. Step on it to see the stability of the whole vehicle: pay attention to the weight of the flywheel of the whole vehicle-13 to 25KG. Fitness rooms and clubs recommend more than 20KG, and you get what you pay for. Some cheap flywheels are internally cemented, good general cast iron and better flywheels are pressed by pure steel. When choosing spinning bike, please pay attention to the following points:
1. Do you like its appearance?
2. Fine workmanship. Because many buyers can't see the samples, they can only recommend them according to the merchants, so it is particularly important to choose good merchants and brands. Many businesses have never even seen a real spinning bike, especially on Taobao and other websites.
3. Ease of use (adjust the armrest seat by braking method); The old brake is inconvenient to pull up, and the new brake is convenient and safe to come down.
4. according to your size, this gym is very important. When choosing a gym, it should be stable and suitable for most people.
5. Price (the price is directly proportional to the service), emphasizing that if the gym uses the model below 2000 yuan in order to save costs, it will cause a lot of trouble in the future.
6. The flight business is small, the household is generally 13-20KG, and the gym is generally above 20KG; The feeling of rotation depends on this flywheel. Pay attention to compare the size of flywheel when buying.
7. For core components, such as the central shaft, easily broken pedals or transmission mode, pay attention to the noise of chain transmission.
Fifth, judge how to choose spinning bike from practicality.
Many spinning bikes will be marked with light business, business: light business is only suitable for small clubs, and the utilization rate is not high. It is a good choice to buy a better light business at home; Commercial spinning bikes are mainly used in professional gyms, or people with high requirements for equipment can afford them economically. So how to distinguish between home and business? This has no clear boundaries. The following parameters are for reference:
1. Home spinning bike: slightly smaller, weighing 35-50kg; Flywheel13-20kg; For a better car, it is recommended to use a pulley with low noise;
2. Commercial spinning bike: it should be stable, with a weight of more than 45KG and a flywheel of more than 20KG, with commercial accessories, such as commercial pedals.
Sixth, judge how to choose spinning bike from the merchants.
Many businessmen have never seen or installed spinning bikes, which is very common. This requires consumers to identify themselves, ask some questions, and select some businesses from the answers. Excellent merchants should have the support of well-known manufacturers and professional engineers such as spinning bike sales, installation and maintenance. There are professional staff in the market, and the structure and performance of spinning bikes are compared. And have professional after-sales service support. And provide professional and non-deceptive consulting services for users and merchants who purchase. You can choose regular dealers from the following aspects:
1. Do you have an office address? Is there a physical store? Is there a real experience? Is there a landline?
2. Is there a spinning bike with a magnetic wheel? Spinning bikes are all braked by cowhide brake pads, and there is no spinning bike with magnetic control wheels, so many businessmen who have never seen spinning bikes can't answer. )
3. Is spinning bike driven by pulley or chain? (pulley)
4. Is there any music on the spinning bike? (None)
5. Is the handrail glued or dipped? (pregnant, of course)
6. Does the spinning bike have a deceleration device? (No, even if several parts are installed like gears, the flywheel is actually clamped with brake pads to adjust the resistance. )
Judging how to choose spinning bike from the structure
Many consumers pay special attention to the difference between 1000 spinning bikes and more than 2000 spinning bikes. Let's compare the details below:
1. transmission mode: high-end models are generally belt-driven, and models below 2000 yuan are basically chain-driven.
2. Car weight: From the side, it can be reflected whether the materials used for this spinning bike are sufficient and stable.
3. Flywheels: Flywheels vary in size. Generally, models over 2000 will be on the meeting 18KG. A good flywheel is made of cast iron or pure steel.
4. Braking: Most of the models below 2,000 yuan are pull-up type, and it is generally more convenient and safe to brake with pressure.
5. Pedal: This is a fragile part. Cheap cars save costs and use small pedals made in China. Cars with more than 2000 yuan generally use Vig or commercial pedals.
6. More details: For example, handrails under 2000 yuan are mostly coated with rubber, and plastic-impregnated handrails are better; The quality of the cushion is different, and the details such as whether the front of the armrest is adjustable should be observed.
To sum up: spinning bikes within 5000 yuan are worth a penny, so don't be greedy and cheap. Details determine the quality of spinning bikes and the price gap of spinning bikes.
Judging how to choose spinning bike from the function.
Many people don't know the difference between spinning bike and exercise bike. Should I choose an exercise bike or a spinning bike? It is recommended to buy a spinning bike to exercise and shape up; Just because I usually have less exercise and want to exercise, I suggest choosing an exercise bike. The following is a simple comparison between the two:
1. Spinning is a team sport, and its exercise intensity is higher than that of an exercise bike.
2. Spinning bikes generally control resistance through brake pads, while exercise bikes generally control resistance through magnetic control wheels.
3. The effect of spinning bike is mainly reflected in the flywheel. It is easier to adhere to rhythmic exercise through music, and it is also more effective for reducing fat and shaping.
4. Exercise bikes are generally equipped with heart rate tests, while spinning bikes are generally not. Of course, some models are optional.
Spinning bikes are suitable for people aged 15-50, and exercise bikes are suitable for men, women and children.
Expansion: the benefits of rotation training
Fat reduction principle
Spinning, like all aerobic exercises, is to fully activate the body's motor cells and achieve the purpose of reducing fat while consuming energy. According to the coach, spinning is one of the equipment with the largest amount of exercise in the gym, which requires very high physical fitness. Usually, a class can consume about 500 calories, but also a lot of sweat. The body loses water quickly, so it should be replenished in time. However, losing a lot of water does not mean losing weight by "reducing water". If you wear a heart rate meter during exercise, you will clearly see that from the moment you exercise, you are completely consuming fat. During leg-centered exercise, the muscles of hips, waist, back and arms can be fully exercised, and at the same time, your cardiopulmonary function can be enhanced.
Suitable object
Spinning bike, which originated in America, is full of American flavor, energy and passion, so it is favored by people aged 25-35. However, there is no age limit for this sport abroad, because its scientific design ensures the safety of participants, and the exercise intensity is completely controllable, which is suitable for all people with athletic ability. However, it is suggested that people with knee injuries should not participate in this sport, because the friction of the knee joint is very large during the whole riding process, coupled with high-intensity pressure, it is easy to form potential injuries, which will gradually be reflected in the future exercise process. Patients with heart disease and high blood pressure are also best not to participate, so as to avoid the danger of high-intensity training.
Two misunderstandings that puzzle spinning practitioners
Myth 1: Does spinning make your limbs strong? You can go and see foreign spinning coaches who have many years of training experience. Their sturdy and slender shapes will tell you that you don't have to worry about turning you into a "big MAC".
Myth 2: Is it true that the more you sweat, the more you can lose weight? In fact, what needs to be reduced is fat, not water. The discharge of a large amount of sweat is actually the loss of water in the body, which does not necessarily mean a large amount of fat consumption in the body.
Weight loss posture
The correct posture should be: lean forward slightly, straighten your arms, tighten your abdomen, use abdominal breathing, buckle your legs parallel to the beam of the car or slightly inward, keep your knees and hips in harmony, don't swing from side to side, and pay attention to the riding rhythm. In addition, the posture of pedaling is also very important. "It is generally believed that the so-called pedaling means that the foot steps down and the pedal rotates once to drive the flywheel forward, but the correct pedaling should be divided into four coherent actions: pedaling, pulling, lifting and pushing." Shi bo, a professional coach, said: "The sole of the foot is stepped down first, then the calf is contracted and pulled, then lifted, and finally pushed forward, which is exactly a 360-degree pedal cycle. Such a rhythmic step can not only save physical strength, but also improve speed. "
Spinning taboo
1. It is ineffective and unsafe to use weight-bearing equipment on a bicycle and lift weights on the car. It is most effective to train the weight of exercise muscles in a stable state.
2. When standing or jumping, riding with one hand or letting go of your hands may cause serious harm to you; When climbing in a sitting position, it will cause uneven stress on the waist.
3. When riding a bicycle, the toes are facing down, which will cause inflammation of joints and numbness of feet. When pedaling, your feet should be parallel to the ground and placed in the center of the pedal.
4. There is no resistance at all, pedaling without resistance is a waste of exercise time, and pedaling without resistance can also cause sports injuries at high speed.
5. Stepping backwards will release the pedal, which may cause injury when the pedal falls. Studies have proved that backward and forward use the same muscle group and consume the same calories, so backward has no advantage.
6. Keeping posture while sitting may lead to excessive bending of hip joint and spine, leading to low back pain. When you need to look up, this grip is easy to cause neck strain.
7. Put your feet on the handlebar and stretch. Maybe most people don't have enough flexibility to stretch their feet on the handlebars.
Precautions for spinning bike
1. Before each spinning activity, you must spend some time doing enough warm-up. You can jog on the treadmill for a while, or do aerobic exercise, and then participate when your body starts to get excited. Because the body that has been almost dormant for a long time can't adapt to the sudden increase of load and strength, it is easy to get injured before the bones and muscles stretch.
2. Before getting on the bus, check whether all parts are safe. After getting on the bike, pay attention to adjust the position. The most important thing is to fasten the safety lock on the pedal to avoid the danger of bumping when stepping off the pedal at high speed. You should always keep your feet parallel to the ground when riding a horse.
3. Breathing on spinning bike is very important, so you should learn abdominal breathing. During abdominal breathing, the tension and relaxation of abdominal muscles occur alternately, which makes the capillaries in local muscles contract and relax alternately, accelerates blood circulation, expands the supply of oxygen, is also conducive to the discharge of metabolites, plays a role in regulating and promoting the whole body organs and tissues, and can greatly enhance lung function.
4. In terms of clothing, it is best to wear professional spinning clothes, and cotton sportswear with good elasticity can also be substituted. Sports shoes with shoelaces are the best choice, because they can firmly fix the feet on the pedals and prevent them from slipping off.
