Why The Keiser And Schwinn Indoor Cycling Bikes Are So Highly Rated

The major benefit of living in a consumer society is that we have so much choice with regards to what products we can buy, and this is certainly the case with exercise bikes because there are literally thousands of different models to choose from.

In the United States you will find that there are many different models to choose from in every single price category.

For instance, there are lots of entry-level bikes that you can buy if you have a budget of between $100 and $500, and there are just as many between $500 and $1000 if you are looking for a mid-range machine that you can use at home.

However if you have got used to using one of the indoor cycling bikes in your local gym, which are generally some of the best ones on the market, and want to buy a similar model for yourself that you can set up at home, you can expect to pay at least $1000 for one of these top-end machines.

Once again, there is no shortage of products to choose from, but you can't really go wrong if you buy a bike from the Schwinn or Keiser range because these were named as two of the top picks at http://www.exercisereviewsite.com/best-indoor-cycling-bike-reviews/.

The Keiser bikes such as the M3 Plus and the new 2015 model – the M3I Indoor Cycle – are two of their biggest sellers at the moment, and are both perfect for home use and gym use because they are made from the highest quality materials, and are built to last many years.

The 2015 model is arguably the better of the two because it has bluetooth capabilities and can connect with a smartphone or tablet, but they both offer a supremely smooth and quiet ride and will always provide you with a varied and challenging workout because there are 24 different resistance levels.

The Schwinn models are also really good, particularly the stand-out model – the Schwinn AC Performance Plus Indoor Cycle.



This too has recently been updated, and now features a super-light aluminium frame that is exceptionally strong and sturdy, along with a carbon blue belt drive that requires hardly any maintenance at all, and delivers a really quiet workout so that you won't disturb the other people who live in your home.

If this model is too expensive for you, they also have a slightly older (and cheaper) model that you can buy - the Schwinn AC Sport Indoor Cycle Trainer - which is also extremely well-built and delivers a smooth and efficient workout.

So the point is that if you can afford to buy a really good model, then you have to consider the Schwinn and Keiser bikes because these are often found in many gymnasiums, and are easily some of the strongest and smoothest indoor cycles that you can buy.

3 Reasons Why I Love Using An Indoor Exercise Bike

I am quite a keen cyclist myself and love to go for long bike rides in the surrounding countryside because nothing beats the feeling of fresh air in your lungs, and it's great to get out there and explore new places whilst getting fit at the same time.

However I also love riding my exercise bike as well. Indeed I tend to use my exercise bike a lot more because I will always do a workout at least 2-3 times a week, whereas my road bike may stay in the garage for months at a time without being used.

The benefits of exercise bike workouts are fairly well-known, so in this article I thought I would discuss some of the main reasons why I love working out on an exercise bike at home:

1. Comfortable and Convenient

One of the best things about owning your own exercise bike is that you don't have to drag yourself down to the gym whenever you fancy a workout. You can simply jump on your bike and get going, and don't have to worry about what you are wearing, for example.

You can also do whatever you want during your workout to keep you entertained, whether you prefer reading, listening to music or watching your favorite television shows, for example.

Plus you obviously don't have to worry about the weather, like you do when preparing to go for a bike ride, and you can stay fit throughout the winter when it's cold and snowing outside.

2. Variation of Workouts

Another thing I love about an exercise bike is that it is really easy to make your workout as easy or as hard as you want it to be.

This isn't always the case on a road bike because you might live in a particularly flat area, for example, but on an indoor cycle you can crank up the resistance if you want to really stretch yourself and recreate the feeling of cycling up steep hills, or you can set it to one of the lowest resistance levels if you just want to get a gentle workout that is relatively easy to do.

3. Cost Savings

One final benefit of owning your own exercise bicycle is that in the long run it can work out a lot cheaper than a gym membership. Yes you have the initial cost of buying the bike, but after a year or two it will have worked out a lot cheaper when you add up all the gym membership fees that you would have paid during this time.

I myself have my own home gym set up at home where I have weights, weights benches and lots of other exercise equipment, and after a few years you will find that the amount of money that you will have saved will be quite significant.
