Question: Exercise Bike Opinions?
Question Description:
I am looking for a new exercise bike. My current one has magnetic resistance and the handles move. It is quite old and is starting to squeak. Nothing seems to fix it permanantly so I'm ready to toss it. Most of the bikes I've seen the handles don't move or it uses adjustable air resistance-the handles move but there is a fan. Any opinions? How much more do you get out of a bike that has moving handles?

Answer#1: I'd never really thought of it, but you would get quite a bit more out of one with moving handles because you would be using upper body muscles as well as lower. Since upper body muscles are smaller you would get your heart rate up quicker and easier. I'm assuming the handles move somewhat as if you were cross country skiing? I've never had a bike with moving handles but I think for the new one we'll get soon I'll look for one like that. I don't know if I've been any help to you, but I tend to agree with you that the moving handles would be better.
