Excercise bikes are useless pieces of shit

[Baldingegghead]

Got one off amazon did it for about half an hour barely lost any sweat and my heart rate is only slightly raised. Wtf is the point of them. I even tried following those workout videos on youtube and they're all out of breath from just moving their legs while sitting on their asses. I dont get it. Maybe i just bought a shit one. I had more of a workout assembling it.

There’s a knob you turn to increase the resistance.

Make sure you’re in a non cold room so your body temperature rises.

Yeah i turned it to max and got a slightly higher heart rate. But 1 min of treadmill or running is worth like 10 on an excercise bike.

Be persistent

Maybe you're fit enough already.

I had a reclining exercise bike to try to lose weight. I was told a reclining bike is less strain on the knees. I didn't lose weight and it's in household waste now.

I'm very slowly losing weight now though because I'm reducing sugar foods.

No my fitness is really bad. I can cycle for half and hour and literally feel nothing but tired legs. But if i jog for 2 minutes im out of breath and sweating.

Got one of the cheap variety off amazon whose target market is not young healthy adults did it for about half an hour barely lost any sweat and my heart rate is only slightly raised.

Its mainly for my mothers arthritis so its fine

just run theory

 

[Emba]

Gas the bikes!

 

[Baldingegghead]

mine induces a nice runner’s high (and heavy panting) at max resistance after intense cycling for 30 sec to a couple minutes. yours is simply shit

Yeah my legs get tired before then. I can do intense cycling for only 10 seconds max but I've started to work up a sweat now

But this demonstrates what im saying. You have to go all out and destroy your legs to have similar effects of a light run of the same duration

If you can find a nice place to bike without a lot of traffic, road biking can be one of the most fun things to do.
