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.

Spinning Bikes v Stationary Bikes - Which One Should You Buy?

If you have never owned an exercise bicycle before, you may not be familiar with the differences between an ordinary stationary bike and a specially designed spinning bike. Indeed a lot of people will look completely baffled when you ask them what a spinning bike is.

The key difference is that a spinning bike can be used to perform a range of highly effective spinning exercises, and mimic the feel of an outdoor road bike so that you can train indoors if you want to, whilst a stationary bike is more of an upright bike and is generally a little more comfortablke as it will often have a wider seat.

In addition, a spin bike will have a direct connection with the wheels, just like a road bike. So for instance, if you were to stop pedalling all of a sudden, the wheel would still continue turning, whereas it would stop straight away on an upright bike.

The resistance is also more responsive and intelligent on a spin bike, whereas you will often have fixed levels of resistance on a standard exercise bike.

Beyond that, there are not that many noticeable differences between the two. So with regards to which one you should buy, you should consider your own personal circumstances and requirements.

If you want a basic exercise bike that you can use to burn calories whilst watching television, for example, then you are best off buying an upright stationary bike because this will be more than adequate for your needs.

If, however, you want something akin to a road bike, or if you want to train indoors during the winter, then a spinning bike is probably more appropriate. They are also ideal if you actually want to take up spinning, which is a highly effective form of exercise that has exploded in popularity in recent years.

With regards to which bike you should buy, this website at bestspinningbikes2014.com has some of the best spinning bikes, whilst you will find no end of reviews for all of the top-selling upright bicycles if you do a quick search online.

Anyway the point is that there are some differences between a stationary bicycle and a spinning bicycle that you should bear in mind before parting with your hard earned cash.

If you are still unsure, you should go into your local sports shop and ask for some advice because I'm sure that they will be able to help you and answer any questions you may have. Alternatively you could ask a personal trainer at your local gym.
