Equipment For Enhancing Your Workouts
Whether you own a mountain bike or a road bike or simply no bike at all, there are some truly great exercise equipment available on the market today that can allow you to workout cycling any time whether it is night or day or raining or sunny.
Closest equipment to feeling like a real bike ride is the Ride E-Motion Roller, which gives individuals the virtual reality riding experience. This is an innovative roller that allows safe and a high performance exercise training that can be used indoors or even outdoors. It has the ability to feel more like real cycling as both wheels spin on roller drums that forces the individual to be balanced as they rock back and forth while pedaling.
It is truly simply to learn how to do and will take most individuals less than thirty seconds to learn and it is safer for any age group. The entire device is built on a spring loaded sub-frame that slides four inches fore and aft on a track, which accommodates the natural and imperceptible pulsing that occurs during outdoor pedaling but feels jerky on fixed position trainers. It is lightweight, which makes it perfect for moving around without the need of assistance.
Another roller available on the market today that can be used indoors or outdoors is the Performance Travel Trac Century Fluid Trainer. It has a stationary rear wheel training stand that helps generate resistance though the tire's contact with a roller drum that must overcome the inertia of an attached fan encased in a fluid housing. It has a smooth ride and the setup is quick and easy. It is extremely safe for novices and experts alike and is quieter than similar air-fan and magnetic resistance trainers. This trainer folds up for small and easy storage or to be able to move outdoors on your deck so the individual will get the real experience of training outdoors.
The Minoura Powermatic Rim Trainer is another stationary roller that is available on the market to day that has a stationary training stand that creates resistance on the rear wheel rim to allow the use of any tire including mountain bike tires. It is the quietest and smoothest trainer on the market and instead of the tire rolling on a metal drum as with other trainers, this has two small spring loaded rubber wheel that pinch the rim from the each side. There is a handlebar mounted adjustable resistance lever that allows the individual to increase their workout level.
The Expresso Fitness S2u is an exercise bike with a seventeen inch LCD screen that puts the individual up against interactive courses and racers for the most of their workout experience. This exercise bike is the most fun and the most motivating and realistic exercise bike on the market with its true virtual reality riding and pivoting handlebars and resistance that changes with the terrain. As in real cycling the individual must steer their bike through traffic and around corners as they shift gears or stand up out of the saddle to climb intense hills to speed up. There are more than thirty programs that will offer easy to difficult courses in which the individual can race pacers or against their own personal best. This bike includes a heart rate monitor, a watt meter, and has calorie, distance, RPM, gear and slope readouts.
