What is the best, bang for my buck, spinning bike, for my home?

gomundo

Answer
A regular road bike on a training stand. Say a mid range used model.

Not only is it lower total cost, but it's a better cycling simulator - real bike, adjusted exactly to your fit.

It's what the pros use....

Best spinning (exercise) bike to workout at home?

Q. I just want something that is quiet and good (that will last). I've been looking at "SB700 Bike Light Commercial by SOLE Fitness" but just want to see if anyone else knew of better ones? Thanks in advance!

Answer
In general, Preocor makes the best cardiovascular equipment. Cybex and Octane are pretty good too. I have had a Tectrix (taken over by Cybex since) for about 14 years with very little maintenance.

Spin bike routine questions?

Nuggs

i just got a spin bike for home use and i was wondering how many times a week i should use it. if each time i use it for 45-60 mins?

Answer
As often as you can, as hard as you can, as long as you can.
It depends on what your overall fitness goal is.
If you're just looking to burn calories, then the more you do it, the more calories you burn, the more weight you lose.
If you're looking to replace road riding and build up endurance, then it's probably better to do it as long as you can before you get winded. But personally, I don't think this is really effective, because there is no way I'm going to sit on a spin trainer for 2-3 hours straight.
If you're looking to stress your legs and increase muscle mass, then doing some all out intervals for 40-60 minutes 3-4 times a week should be good. In this case, you should feel some significant soreness the following day afterwards. Otherwise, you're not going to stress your muscles enough to encourage growth.

What are some ways to change bad habits?

Olive Cray

I just purchased a New in home Spin bike and I dont want it to become a new piece of furniture....I want to use it and continue to use it, but I am a serious couch potatoe...DVD's and the remote is what I'm used to....How can I get up?
Is it possible to gain new habits...purposly?

Answer
Yes, I too was and am secretly a couch tater. I get up with a good DVD workout, keep a diary of my good and bad habits- for accountablity, and have a secret body fantasy in mind while I workout.
If you dream it, you can acheive it- corny... hell yes, but it works. Get a picture of someone whose body you admire, and look at it everyday to keep sight of your goals. You can be just as hot with time and determination. It's going to be hard, but that is okay. It really is.
