Although both exercise bikes and treadmills can offer a great workout that will help to burn calories, which is the best choice for you depends on your personal fitness goals. If you are looking to lose weight, then the treadmill will probably be your best option. However, if you are looking to build leg endurance and muscle strength, then the bike might be a better choice.
Unlike running, which is considered a high impact exercise, biking is lower in intensity and is therefore less taxing on the joints. In addition, cycling works your leg muscles (quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes) in a different way than running does, and it also uses your arms when using the handles.
While you might not be able to torch as many calories on a treadmill as you can with a good spin-style class, you will be able to vary your workout more by increasing the intensity and using the incline settings. This makes the treadmill a more versatile option if you’re interested in training for specific events or doing HIIT workouts.
Additionally, depending on your home’s floor stability, you may have to consider whether or not you can safely use a treadmill, especially if you plan to run at a high speed. However, treadmills can be more versatile than exercise bikes and allow you to do a range of workouts, from long distance endurance runs to HIIT intervals, making them a great choice for people who want to get a comprehensive fitness training session in the comfort of their own homes.
