Which is better, elliptical machine or spinning bike?
Elliptical machine and spinning bike are both common sports equipment, each with different characteristics, so it is impossible to comprehensively judge which of the two equipment is better.

If you want to use fitness equipment at home, you should mainly consider three factors: 1. Security, 2. Exercise effect, and 3. Silence.

Nowadays, domestic spinning bikes and domestic elliptical machines are basically silent, so this factor can pass.

In fact, in the field of home fitness equipment, the priority of safety factor is generally the highest. In terms of safety, elliptical machine is a kind of sports equipment with high safety. Many athletes who have recovered from injuries will also use elliptical machines for aerobic training.

Elliptical machine is a kind of non-impact aerobic exercise equipment, and its motion trajectory presents a mild ellipse, and the knee joint will hardly receive any impact force during the exercise.

The safety of spinning bike is slightly worse than that of elliptical machine, but it is still much better than that of treadmill.

In fact, there are many precautions in the use of bicycles. During use, the seat height and handlebar height need to be adjusted according to their own conditions. If the adjustment is not correct, it will easily affect the knee joint.

In terms of exercise intensity, many people think that elliptical exercise intensity is lower than that of spinning bike, but this is not the case.

In fact, for most ordinary people, the intensity of exercise or the effect of losing weight has nothing to do with the types of sports equipment. But it is more related to the heart rate during exercise.

For most ordinary people. As long as the heart rate is kept at the same level during exercise, the weight loss effect of different aerobic exercise forms is actually similar.

Therefore, in family sports, the exercise intensity and weight loss effect of elliptical machine and spinning bike are not much different. But their moving parts are slightly different.

Elliptical machine can exercise the muscles of the whole body because of its movable handle; Spinning is more about exercising lower limb muscles. In terms of ease of use, elliptical machines are actually relatively simple, while spinning bikes are relatively more difficult.

Generally speaking, in fact, if you care more about sports safety, you can choose an elliptical machine, and if you prefer to challenge difficult cycling, you can choose a spinning bike.
