Exercise bike advice

[r0zvad]

Just a quick bit of advice needed from you chaps!

I'm hoping to buy an exercise bike in the coming week. I was just wondering if you had any recommendations on particular models or offers. I have no idea where to start even looking for the best value/specification.

My budget is around £150.

On a related note, when would be the best time for cardio exercise to be implemented? I usually do strength training every other day in the evening.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

My advice would be save up a bit more and buy a real bike.
A budget exercise bike isn't going last long and you'll soon get bored.

when you say strength training, are you training at home or in a gym?

most exercise bikes for £150 will be rubbish tbh

after buying one or two of the cheaper exercise machines, cross trainer, exercise bike i can vouch that sub £150 will be useless. cheap build quality and poor design means that the things feel rickety and flimsy, put in decent sessions and they just seem to fall apart.

Working out in your home on these is very monotonous as well, save a little more moneys and buy a mountain bike, look for a second hand one maybe, fresh air and a more varied pace and resistance all make for a better overall cardio workout, plus if your enjoying it youll tend to do more.

Spot on. Buying a £150 exercise bike for the home is a mistake.
