What are recumbent exercise bikes?
Recumbent bikes put the rider in a sitting position, with a large seat cushion, backrest and longer pedals than traditional exercise bikes. Recumbent bikes are a good choice for those with joint issues, as it requires the least impact from the rider.
What's the difference between stationary and spin bikes?
The biggest difference is how the flywheel works—it is heavier on a spin bike which helps the rider achieve a more intense workout. These bikes are typically also designed to mimic the position of a road-racing bike. If you want a more relaxed approach to improving your cardio and muscle build, then an indoor stationary bike is a great choice. These are also ideal if you are recovering from injury or have exercise limitations.
What is a smart exercise bike?
Smart exercise bikes add a handy tech component to your traditional stationary bike workout. These let you track and monitor your workouts with features like virtual coaching, on-demand and live guided classes, virtual riding routes, customized user settings and more—while also providing you thorough performance data. Smart exercise bikes often feature built-in screen displays, while other models allow you to connect your bike directly to your smartphone or device. The Bowflex C7 (powered by JRNY), the NordicTrack GX (powered by iFit) and the ProForm Smart Power (powered by iFit) are just some of our exercise bikes with smart fitness capabilities.
