what is best spinning bike image
KarinMyanm
It is a proform 290 spx if that helps. I just bought it today and when operating it seems to be quite loud in the chain area or the flywheel I am not quite sure but I have been on spin bikes before and they are pretty much silent and this one is not. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Is this too long to exercise on a Spin Bike?
Saint
I started exercising on my spin bike 4-5 days a week, for about 2 and a half hours each day. Is that too much? I know over exercising can be bad for you so just thought of asking to play it safe. Also, the way I do it is I do a really hard setting for 30 minutes to get the muscles nice and active, and the rest of the time on an easier setting, thought that may be important.
Answer
Not too long. Now, not so sure about your plan and what you want to accomplish, where are you and where you wan to be. What are your goals?
I often ride 75-100 miles so I put more time on the saddle but not so many times a week. Yet most of my rides are about 2 hours at an average speed of 16-18 mph.
You should be doing warm up and cool down (15 minutes each). There is no logic to start up hard with cold muscles. That will lead to injury. It is much better to do the hard work towards the middle of the work out. Rather than just working hard once, is better to do intervals. That trains your heart to accelerate on demand and slow down for recovery. Also rather than work hard for 30 minutes and then slow down for 2 hours. Try to find what is the speed that you can sustain for all that time. For instance, if you work our 30 minutes at 20 mph and then 2 hours at 12 mph, you will not get as good a work out as if you do all that time at 16 mph.
But again you have to decide what your goals are: recovery, fat burning, cardio, endurance, stamina, strength....
