Which is better, exercise bike or treadmill?

Whether it is an exercise bike or a treadmill, we can both keep fit and lose weight, and we can't say which is better. However, due to the different exercise mode and intensity, there will still be differences in choosing an exercise bike and a treadmill.

Treadmill can reduce fat better.

Treadmill does a lot of exercise. If the exercise bike does not start outdoor mountain climbing or mountain environment exercise, the treadmill may exercise several times as much as the exercise bike. Therefore, treadmill exercise can consume more calories than riding an exercise bike, and the fat burning effect is better.

Treadmill exercises the whole body better.

Treadmill is an aerobic fitness equipment, which can do whole-body exercise. During the exercise, all muscles of the whole body can participate in the exercise, so as to realize the exercise of different parts of the body.

It is good to choose an exercise bike to exercise your legs.

If you just want to exercise leg muscles, you can choose an exercise bike, which is more for leg muscles.

Compared with treadmills, exercise bikes are safer. Treadmill has a great influence on the joints of the body, and it is prone to slip and other accidents. Therefore, it is safer to choose an exercise bike for people who have suffered knee injuries or have not exercised for a long time.

Using an exercise bike is good for the elderly.

Old people are not suitable for high-intensity running on treadmills, which is not safe enough. Compared with treadmills, exercise bikes are suitable for people of different ages, and it is safer for the elderly to use exercise bikes.

The exercise bike is quieter

Most treadmills make a lot of noise during exercise, while exercise bikes make a little noise and don't vibrate. Therefore, for people who want to make less noise, it will be better to choose an exercise bike for exercise.

Exercise bikes take up less space.

If you want to exercise at home and don't want this equipment to take up too much space, then choosing an exercise bike is better than a treadmill. Treadmills are heavy, difficult to move and take up space. Exercise bikes are light and compact, easy to move, and even some exercise bikes have folding function to save space.
