Treadmill and spinning bike are very common fitness equipment, but each has its own characteristics and different functions. Everyone should choose the right equipment according to their sports ability, hobbies and exercise purposes.
Next, let's explain the differences between treadmills and spinning bikes, as well as their respective characteristics.
I. Size 1. Jianping
Treadmill > stationary bike
The home treadmill can be folded and placed.
2. Weight
Treadmill > stationary bike
Step 3: Load bearing
Treadmill > stationary bike
Therefore, the size, floor space and weight of treadmills are larger than those of spinning bikes. The maximum load-bearing capacity of treadmills is also greater than that of spinning bikes.
2. Functional configuration The treadmill is designed to improve the ability of running or brisk walking outdoors, while the spinning bike is an auxiliary riding training. The functional design and use principle of these two instruments are completely different.
1. Screen and panel
Most spinning bikes are only equipped with simple electronic watches, which can display basic data such as speed, calories, time, distance and heart rate. However, some spinning bikes can be equipped with large HD screens for online course interaction.
The high-definition touch screen of treadmills has become the mainstream standard. Not only can you easily control speed, slope, time, calories and other information, but you can also preset many exercise plans. At the same time, it also enhances the entertainment function of the treadmill, and you can also listen to music, watch movies, eat chicken and so on.
2. Basic functions
Treadmill can freely adjust the speed and slope to change the exercise intensity. Rotation requires you to control the speed and intelligently adjust the resistance to change the intensity of exercise when the main force is weak.
3. Noise problem
When the treadmill is running, the motor rotation and the * * * vibration will often make a lot of noise, which will easily affect others' rest. However, the sound produced by the magnetic control resistance system or belt drive system of spinning bike in normal use can be completely ignored.
So running will make noise and affect others. Spinning does not have this problem.
4. Power configuration
The treadmill needs a motor to output power, so it needs to be connected to the power supply. Spinning bike relies on magnetic control or belt transmission, and it does not need to be connected to the power supply, so it belongs to self-generation.
3. Exercise mode The treadmill is a passive exercise. It needs to set the speed and slope, and then keep up with the treadmill to adapt to the running rhythm.
Rotation is an active movement, and you need to control the speed yourself. Although you can adjust the resistance, the intensity of exercise depends on your own exercise ability.
4. Use skills 1. Use skills of treadmill
(1) Stretch to warm up and jog before running, and cold stretch after exercise.
(2) At the beginning, the speed should be gradually increased from slow to fast. When starting, stand in the pedal area and clamp the emergency brake clip.
(3) Look straight ahead, don't bow your head or look around. When watching video or data, make the screen level or lower than the normal direct viewing angle.
(4) Lean forward slightly, keep the center of gravity stable, and hold your head high.
(5) The running range of the machine is small, the frequency is high, and the landing foot is controlled in the safe area of the running board. As the slope increases, the stride will decrease. Landing on the forefoot can reduce the impact on the joints.
(6) The arm swings back and forth naturally, and the rhythm should be kept even, and it is forbidden to grab the handrail.
(7) Stay focused, don't look around, don't multitask.
(8) Adjust the speed and slope appropriately.
(9) Monitor data such as heart rate in real time, control your physical condition and adjust your training plan.
(10) Make a running plan regularly and keep exercising. 4-6 times a week, once a day, 20-60 minutes, preferably about 30 minutes.
2. Spinning skills
(1) Adjust the height of the car seat, the front and rear position of the car seat and the height of the handlebar according to personal conditions.
(2) Fasten the shoe buckle of the pedal to avoid falling off during riding.
(3) Adjust the resistance appropriately to achieve your proper exercise intensity.
(4) Hold your head up and chest out, slightly tuck in your abdomen, and hold your body with your elbow. Knees should not be abducted or buckled in, and the center of gravity should lean forward.
(5) The left and right legs should exert a balanced force, which can consume more heat.
(6) Riding with the rhythm of music will have a better exercise effect.
(7) Stretch before and after riding, and make full preparations.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) exercise effect Running on the treadmill requires not only the whole body stress, but also the arm and trunk to assist running. The muscles used are thighs, calves, gluteal muscles, and a small number of core muscles and arms.
Spinning bike mainly exercises legs when pedaling in sitting position, but it can effectively train core muscles, triceps, biceps and latissimus dorsi when pedaling in standing position.
In addition, spinning can cooperate with music for course training, which increases the interest and challenge of sports.
Therefore, the exercise effect of treadmill is better than that of spinning bike.
6. Exercise intensity Through many experiments, major authorities have demonstrated that jogging on a treadmill consumes 65,438+07% more calories per hour than riding a spinning bike. This is because running on the treadmill needs to bear all the weight of the body, and you need to use your arms and torso to assist running, so you need to burn more energy.
Therefore, the exercise intensity and fat-reducing effect of the treadmill are also stronger than that of the spinning bike.
Seven. Sports injury, whether it is a treadmill or a spinning bike, will have different degrees of influence on the joints of lower limbs, but the treadmill involves more parts and is more impacted by rebound. Therefore, the treadmill has a greater impact on the joints of human lower limbs.
However, due to the huge inertia, many exercisers often slip when using spinning bikes, causing injuries when pedaling. In addition, due to wrong riding posture or difficulty in controlling exercise intensity, it is easy to cause excessive or uneven exercise, and even rhabdomyolysis symptoms.
Therefore, when doing aerobic exercise, the pressure of spinning bike on joints is less than that of treadmill.
Eight. Market price 1. Treadmill reference price
Entry-level household treadmill below 3000 yuan
3,000-6,000 yuan mid-range household treadmill
6001-10000 yuan high-end home treadmill
10001-15000 yuan light commercial treadmill
15001-30,000 yuan standard commercial treadmill
3000 1-60000 yuan mid-range commercial treadmill
60001-100000 yuan high-end commercial treadmill
100000 or more top commercial treadmills
The above prices are for reference only, and there are different prices according to different brands.
2. Spinning reference price
Entry-level household 1000 yuan or so.
2000-5000 mid-range families
5000-8000 high-end household
8001-10000 light commercial
10001-15000 standard is commercially available.
1500 1-30000 mid-range commercial
3000 1-50000 high-end commercial
More than 50,000 top enterprises
Therefore, treadmills are more expensive than spinning bikes because of their higher configuration, more functions and more consumption.
To sum up, the treadmill's exercise intensity, exercise effect and fat-reducing ability are stronger than that of spinning bike. But the actual fat-reducing effect depends on your exercise ability and personal preference to determine your exercise frequency and intensity. Whether it is a treadmill or a spinning bike, as long as you keep exercising, you will definitely achieve the ideal fitness effect.
