Question: Is a exercise bike better than a elliptical trainer?


Question Description:
im planning on buying a exercise bike or an elliptical trainer. im not too sure which one i should get ... i want to get one i guess is for fitness, and to burn calories.. soo just wondering which is better. thanky0u

Answer#1: A few days ago I went to get a gym membership and one of the personal trainers overheard me tell my husband "I want to use the exercise bike" and she said to us "the bike does nothing for you to be honest....if you want to lose weight use the elliptical or the treadmill"......so there's your answer from an "expert".I started using it and I feel great in just a few days!Good luck!


Answer#2: Personally I think elopticals are better! Bikes are good for those days when you want a good workout, but you are feeling lazy! If you go on a regualar bike ride than that is different! Also if you put a staionary bike on hard resistance than it could give you a good workout!


Answer#3: Elliptical for sure. Its not hard on your joints (which is really important) and it works both your upper and lower body.Its best to spend some time trying them out in a fitness store as you need to feel comfortable on one. The 'swinging' sensation really varies on machine to machine.


Answer#4: I think elliptical is better... and it's more fun than just sitting on a bike! :)
